If you listen to the file of "Scooter McGee's radio show", Dudley says they do have that lobbyist and that he was lobbying in January, it's just that they didn't pay him in January, so the secretary of State who keeps the records on those payments didn't show any payments to the lobbyist in January, but they did pay him for January in February(15???). That's what I got out of the answer he gave on the radio show about that. But it's not sounding too good for RMGO answering Scooter's question about what is needed and how much is needed to defend and defeat these bills passed so far. I haven't listened to the entire show yet. Correct me where I am wrong, please.

I listened to that entire radio show.
The only thing I got out of the entire thing was that whoever runs the sound effects board for the show needs to have every finger in both of their hands smashed with a hammer so that they can never run one again.
If this is true, then I feel bad for folks who are wasting thier money with them. You are being hoodwinked [fail]Quote:

Scooter: well your still not doing what I think you should do, where is the lawsuit and charges against these folks for not honoring thier Oath of Office? Where is the demonstration outside Rhonda Feilds office? Where is the action?
Brown: You wont sway Fields, and you wont get enough traction with charges against the Legislators, and you wont get enough signatures to recall Hickenpooper. What we CAN do is to put pressure and keep pressure on the "in play" Dems and do all we can to get these bills struck down. Its too early to give up and start talking about recalls etc. for us, we are still in this fight and doing all that can be done to actually have an effect.
Scooter: your not listening to me, WHAT DO YOU NEED, where are the petitions, where is the action?
Brown: I have answered this.
My entire take, whether you agree with RMGO or not, they are doing what they can. If you think you have an actionable and high-percentage plan to help, take it to them, I doubt they are going to ignore input.
Disclosure- I am not a member of RMGO, but am a member of NRA. I give money where I see fit, and so should you.
i could only stand it for about three minutesQuote:

If RMGO is concentrating on that, (I don't know if they are - but if they are) - good on them.
Thats fine and dandy, but it would be like me going to Utah to try and persuade Mormons to follow the Mormon religion.Quote:

To me it was preaching to the chior by going to a city that is predominently 2nd Amendment friendly. [Bang][Bang][Bang][Bang][Bang][Bang]
Maybe Dudley ought to provide a statement of income and expenses, that way people could make an educated decision on whether or not Dudley is helping the firearms community or just helping himself.
I can't really see what the John Lott meetup did for our cause, either. Seemed ill-timed for me. They should have been telling everyone and their brother and mother to go after the house reps.
