As I predicted attacks begin
It's no surprise some members of the media and especially the liberals including Senator Morse, are attempting to portray me as playing to the "extremist" of conservatives. This was obviously very predictable and expected. After deciding not to remain quiet with what I witnessed On March 4, I told my wife that the liberals will attempt to paint me as some extremist in an effort to discredit me. I fully expected it to come from those I have been critical of, primarily the leadership of the senate majority, and that is exactly what is happening. I find it disheartening they try to discredit me by labeling law abiding citizens who feel the same as I do about our constitutional rights as "extremists." It's a shame those in the senate who ignored the public during the senate hearings by manipulating the rules aren't being held accountable for their actions. They have yet to justify their actions and truly explain the inconsistencies I have pointed out related to the salary bill issue and the way citizens were treated at the Capitol. As usual, they name-call and attempt to describe and label those of us who speak out against injustices as extremists. I'm offended that Senator Morse labels citizens who disagree with his actions as extremists, and even more disappointed the media doesn't challenge him directly on behalf of the thousands of citizens he is attempting to portray in a negative light. In addition to accusing me of playing to the "extremist" which is a label that really represents law abiding citizens who believe in traditional values, I am now accused of political grand standing and using this issue to further my political future. Well, I promise the liberals are wrong! I am speaking up for what I believe in and speaking up along with thousands of citizens that feel the same as I do and those who elected me.
Senator Morse has not defended, with any degree of articulation, the gun bills he rammed through the senate. He has yet to answer why several sheriffs and others believe he is opposed to the salary bill for county elected officials, more specifically Sheriffs, and is blocking the salary bill as punishment for not supporting his ill conceived and unconstitutional legislation that infringes on law abiding citizen's rights. Even when he told one media outlet "no one" had tried to introduce a salary bill, then the very next day he told another media outlet that he "denied a request" of two of his own party members who approached him to introduce a salary bill; yet he is quoted by KRDO as saying "he would be happy to help" get a salary bill introduced. It's no surprise he points the finger at me to show proof, yet he has yet to be required to explain his own position. When I asked a KRDO reporter if she would challenge the senator on his inconsistencies and lies he told her, she said she would; that was over a week ago and nothing as of yet. He claims I've showed no clear evidence that the salary bill issue is being compromised, yet I submitted proof of others who felt and witnessed the same. He has not answered directly to any of my claims; just the typical spin, name- calling and diversionary tactics. Now Morse claims I'm playing politics to the "right wing extremists". Actually, I'm standing up for what I believe and what I took an oath to uphold. I am standing up for my electors and hard working, tax paying, law abiding citizens. I am doing it because the senate dem leadership crossed a clear line and are infringing on the people's rights. I will not back down and I will not tolerate being labeled as an extremist, nor should any of you.
By the way, when will Senator Morse be challenged by the media on his false statements and be held accountable to defend his claim that the salary bill is "politically inappropriate". Last year, he was a co-sponsor on a bill to increase his own legislator per diem rate. Does hypocrite sound appropriate?
