View Full Version : Please
Community,
This is it, tomorrow some very serious votes will occur that will determine all of our futures. Please write your senators tonight and make it very clear to vote NO on any legislation.
I know this topic has been ridden like a rented mule but now is the time. If you delay it is likely that your rights will be infringed and we will be left to cry. Now Now Now!!!!! From why I hear we only need one D on our side to win this thing. Plus we may keep Magpul in the state.
Mods, I know this is in the wrong section but I ask that we keep it in the GD until after tomorrow senate vote. Thanks a lot for what you do.
If you do nothing now, you will regret it in the future!

Just finished-united we stand !!!
done did. -although I think I'm a household name in some of their mailboxes.
I've been sending one every day. Already sent one earlier and I'll probably send one more tonight. It is likely falling on deaf ears... but I have to try. It only takes just a minute or two out of my day so I would be crazy not to!

Daily emails sent again. Paper letters sent on Tues.

Done. However, I won't be cry, cry, crying after it inevitably passes. I will simply pay it the same credence and respect that I hold for the elected officials which championed it. And continue to pursue/prepare to defend my life, liberty, and happiness as I see fit and was granted me by the men who shed their blood in the genesis of this country.
Here is a copy of the letter I just sent to the proponents of the bills:
"As a law-abiding, tax paying, voting citizen I have some questions for you. Why do you hate us? We, the law-abiding firearm owning community...why do you hate us so much? I work 40+ hours a week providing for my family trying to give them everything I can and more. I don't break laws, I don't wish to harm my fellow man and I don't condone the criminal misuse of firearms. I value your right to the Constitution and all the great freedoms it affords you, regardless of whether we disagree. Those are the rights afforded to you and I respect that. Why do you not treat me with the same respect?
Why do you despise the 2nd Amendment so much? Why is it so important for you to fight so hard to erode away my Constitutional right to keep & bear arms? I served my country as a warrior of this nation in time of combat and I served my community as a law enforcement officer as well. I've proudly given to a country and only asked for my freedoms in return. What did those like me ever do to you other than offer up a blank check to the United States of America for the amount up to including my life to defend your freedoms?
We all know that criminals do not follow laws. These bills only target the law-abiding. However; I'm afraid these words are fruitless to you and falling on nothing more than deaf ears. You will push your agenda to further eliminate my rights and those rights of my children because in the end...it will make you feel better knowing you devastated a group of people you seem to despise so much."
Not sure it will matter at this point, but it cost me nothing to send it so what the hell.

I dont think they are even reading them, judging by the generic responses I get back. And I only get back 1 for every 10 I send.

We're all in this together. I've written a lot. I've printed several thousand postcards and mailed hundred of them myself. That being said, I wish I could say I've done all I could. There will always be room for more, but you have to balance your priorities somewhere. Thank you to the great men and women who have picked up the slack for me by going to the capital rallies, hearings, etc. and making our presence felt physically. This is really an exciting (and stressful) time for our state, our nation, and our liberties. A HUGE thank you to everyone on this forum who has contributed in some positive way to defending our natural right to self defense.

I also don't think they read them but when they receive hordes of anti emails they notice. I'm sure if their email is being flooded they notice even without reading.

A TV ad is running here in the Springs saying Aguilar may be a No vote at least on HB 1224.
Anybody have any insight into the truthfulness of this?
I've sent out so many emails and letters that you can bet your ass I'll be the first one whacked by Obami's drones!!!

If Aguilar votes a "No" on HB1224...I'll have a new pet chicken that will need a good home because guaranteed I'll shit one if she does.

Lol me to ,, chicken looper does not like me much !!
Guys - remember, tomorrow is the VOICE VOTE, the FINAL vote is on MONDAY. So, if we hear a 'pass' on everything on Friday it is NOT. YET. OVER. Likely the VOICE VOTES will PASS. The COUNTED votes are wat matter... Keep pushing over the weekend. DO NOT give up if tomorrow it "sounds" like everything passed.
No giving up until -the governor signs or doesn't-.
