Anybody going to the CO Accountability Morse Recall meet tonight; 3/8?

[muddywings]

I just got home.
Going to scarf some food down, chase it with some excedrin and get ready head out to the Broadmoor. I'm way up on the North side so I gotta start moving...
Wondering if anybody else will be there?

I'd love to go, it would have been really nice to have had some details in this post, a link perhaps?

Ok, found something, 3/8 @ 7pm:

We're going to be holding the first meeting to discuss organizing John Morse's recall, this coming Friday at the Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs in the Robert Trent Jones Meeting Room.

We'll be discussing how to organize the effort, determining who wants to take the lead on it, what exactly needs to be done from first step to last, incorporation of a non-profit group to handle it and setting an initial timeline. We will have several Board Members from Colorado Accountability present to answer any questions.

Thank you everyone for your interest and willingness to help us oust from office those that would destroy our freedoms.

PLEASE send an RSVP to contact@coloradoaccountability.com with the number that will attend, or post that you're going here on Facebook so that we can make sure we have room!

Dangit. I wish I had known about this.

I would take a large measure of joy from seeing that creepy weirdo being recalled.

[Mountain Man]

I wasn't aware either. I can't stand they guy.

[sniper7]

glad to see this in the works. hopefully all of them succeed!

[Slapps74]

Wish I would have seen this sooner. How did it go?

If anyone else was there, I was the guy in a hawaiian shirt (today was Hawaiian shirt Friday)[Coffee]

They seem well organized, and have formed a 501(c)4 organization that is able to take donations nationally... Called National Freedom Defense Fund... Changed from Coloradoaccountability.com to differentiate themselves from a leftist group with a similar name...

Their sole charter is recall of politicians that violate oath to uphold constitutions, with a focus on 2nd amendment (since it is the basis for all others in the bill of rights)... They do not choose new candidates, other groups will have to lead that charge- since their very nature is bi-partisan, they will not have ties to any political parties...

Some other industries have promised large donations if recalls are organized against Morse and Hudak (apparently they have some enemies)- they are high on priority list!

Looks promising, feel free to pm me with questions- I plan to contact mods to make sure it's cool before I solicit donations or volunteers...

[centrarchidae]

Is there a campaign-finance limit on how much an individual can donate?

[68Charger]

No limit... Because it's not party affiliated

[Danimal]

This is awesome! This is exactly what I was hoping would happen. I am going to free up some cash to don't to them.

Actually 68', it's called the Basic Freedom Defense Fund (http://www.bfdf.org) (bfdf.org). This link currently redirects to "Colorado Accountability" but due to possible name (and goals) confusion, they are changing the name, so everyone try and forget "Colorado Accountability" and remember "Basic Freedom Defense Fund". The fact that they were able to get such a short URL is awesome!

I was there, but because of the late notice GF and I arrived a little late and had to leave early (68', that might ID me for you, you and your Hawaiian shirt I remember :)), but not until I made sure the CS organizer had my contact information.

The folks from the Durango area were great. Many in the room were a bit slow on the realization that the Durango folks were here to start us, not drive us. Once we split up into the Pueblo and CS groups, things began to happen.

Correct me if I'm wrong 68, but basically the Durango folks have created a non-profit bi-partisan origination that can receive monies and direct it to sub-organizations that are targeting specific politicians that are violating their oath of office (note: not specifically dems or 'pubs, therefore bipartisan). Because these sub-organizations are formed UNDER the aegis of BFDF, they can be quite agile since they can spring into existence very quickly.

An extremely important point that was brought up (though I'll skip the details): If we move very quickly to gather the required number of signatures, the recall election could possibly happen while the starry-eyed CC students are on summer vacation.

More details as they become available.

FYI, Here's a map of the Senate districts: http://www.coloradogopwomen.org/maps/2013-senate-districts

You really have to zoom in on CS to see district 11. If you're within this district, stay tuned as to where you can sign the petition.

This is great news. Sounds like a lot of thought was given to putting together an organization that can be the most effective and as you say, agile. I'm represented by Ted Harvey & Frank McNulty, so it will help us all to have a centralized command center to apply the pressure where it's needed. I'll have to read up on this new organization.

Colorado is ground zero for the areas between the Mississippi and California. The anti-2As and Bloomberg's $$$$ have decided this will be the battleground.

I was there but had to leave early as I had to be into work by 6 the next morning.
The guys from Durango have done a great job. When I got home, I looked up the senate districts (also see above) and didn't even realize I'm not in his district. I still plan on helping/being a foot solider where I can (especially if I'm furloughed one day a week).
Also donate to help out with legal fees!
