Signed
Not to rain on your parade but, a recall of the chickenlooper, in this political climate would be a double edged sword. Chances are he would survive it, then he would be a mini bloomingtwit. The best course of action would be to get the laws on the ballot for recall. In an off year election, and with the given amount of democrat gun owners, chances are they would be repealed by a wide enough margin, that it might just send the message.
My 2 cents, take it for what it is worth.
Signed, and will sign the official one when it is ready.
Hi, Just joined the site. I was looking online to see if there is an official recall petition someplace. Found this site. I'm sick of this assclown. He's already a mini-Bloomberg. It's time to start removing these asses from office. I'm sick of traitors, and anti-American anti-Constitutional Progressives.Quote:

Ok... since I'm new here and I don't know you folks... I'm taking some initiative.
Colorado is one of nine states that allow the recall of government officials.
In the state of Colorado it takes a petition signed by 25% of the total number of votes received by the candidate originally to state the petition. Once you file you have 60 days to garner the number of signatures you need.
I can't find an "official" petition in existence right now (except one by folks in Longmont, and I think it isn't an official petition either).
I've got queries out to the Secretary of State's office to determine exactly where the written rules for this are kept and I will personally take the initiative to get it started if I can get folks to help get signatures. I'll post more a bit later when I get more information.
I have some connections to... we'll call them "Other organizations" in the area who certainly are on the side of gun owners and there are enough of us in Colorado we can get a few signatures each and probably easily come close to the 25% we need. At least this is my hope.
Now, one more thing.
IF we were to actually get the required number of signatures and they are confirmed registered voters, then there has to be a "Special Recall Election" which means we'd go through an election to remove him from office. IF we got enough votes to do that then the Lt. Gov would be sworn in (I think, I might be wrong on this) until the next election when a new set of candidates.
I think it's worth a try. But we probably don't have a very high probability of success.
One last thing:

This might be a better avenue to make a point? Just a thought.Quote:
Where Democrats see progress, Republicans see overreach. About one in three Colorado households own a gun, and Republicans are hoping the state’s hunters and sport shooters, libertarians and social conservatives will punish Democrats in next year’s state-level elections. Conservatives in southwestern Colorado have already submitted petitions to recall State Representative Mike McLachlan, a Democrat who supported the gun bills.
Signed it....if this gets more then a 100,000 signatures, it would send a powerful message. Although, I doubt there is anybody home to listen.
Try checking out this site http://www.coloradoaccountability.com/cms/ Info on all the recalls, etc. There are also several members here and other local forums that are part of the current recalls and know the process.Quote:

It would be far more effective to get people to flood his mail box with physical letters from all over the state protesting his signing of all this atrocious legislation while we recall the state reps and senators who drafted and supported it. Also draft up a Colorado Constitutional Amendment that invalidates the recent legislation and get it on the next ballot -- we'd be able to get self-proclaimed gun-loving Dems to vote for it even while they proclaim their love and support for the Democratic Party (or at least hate for the Republican Party). It would be much harder to get that kind of Dem to vote for recall and we need every vote we can get to send a message to these morons.
The issue I'm seeing with this one;
Hick only got 50.7% of the vote, BUT the rest was split between the GOP (11%) and Tancredo's party, who got 36%. I know several D voters who would vote against Hick now, but who is a viable candidate to run against him?
