Tom Tancredo meeting
This is from an email I received and I am sharing it with permission from the sender. Right now my vote would be for Brophy but I am willing to hear what all candidates have to say.
Hi, all
Mike McApline has arranged a meeting this coming Saturday for recall Hudak volunteers at 6 p.m at MedVed. This meeting will be in the Chrysler building, just west of the Suzuki building we've used in the past.
The agenda will include:
Tom Tancredo coming to solicit help with his campaign for governor.
Before we promised him any help, we told him he'd need to answer some hard questions from the volunteers, and he's very clear on the fact that we are not endorsing him as a group. that will be for each of you to do individually if you so choose.
Bring your questions - yes, your HARD questions - on any issue, and he's here to answer.
We've all met candidates before who won't answer questions - but we realize at this point in our state we can't afford to throw our energy or time or money behind any candidate who won't answer questions BEFORE they're elected.
After Tom's part of the meeting, we will hear from Joe Neville about some upcoming activities we can be involved in if we choose to.
We will hear from Mike about the caucus work - and yes, we're still doing that despite no longer meeting with the Tea Party group specifically. Mike also may have some other options, including the Tancredo campaign, for us to choose from.
And from me, Laura, about some options in my future.
we truly hope you can all be there. Tom was at our HQ a lot of different times, he met a lot of you in person, and he wants to meet you again and answer your questions.
And we would love to reconnect with each and every one of you as the New Year is finally here, and it's been a while since we've talked.
You don't have to RSVP

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Denver, CO- Republican gubernatorial candidate State Senator Greg Brophy (R-Wray) today exposed former Congressman Tom Tancredo's record of supporting gun control.
"Tancredo's record on gun control is actually a little worse than John Hickenlooper's," Brophy said.
On June 18, 1999 Congressman Tom Tancredo voted for H.R. 2122, a bill that would have placed additional restrictions on the sale, transfer, importation and possession of “assault” rifles and magazines with higher than a 10-round capacity. Every other member of the Colorado congressional delegation, including two Democrats, voted against the overreaching bill.
At the time, Rep. Tancredo justified his pro gun control vote to the New York Times by saying, “Life in El Paso County, life on the Western Slope, life in Eastern Colorado, is a lot different than life in Littleton, Colo.” Tancredo argued that, “Guns are an issue” and “Gun control is a bandage.”
After Governor John Hickenlooper signed the 2013 gun control legislation into law, he mirrored Tancredo’s earlier comments when he said, “This is an urban issue which is going to require some inconvenience from rural people.”
"I know it's hard to say no to gun control after a tragedy like Newtown or Columbine, but I did it. Every other Republican in the Colorado House and Senate did it. When the pressure was on, Tom Tancredo wouldn't support the Second Amendment," Brophy said. He went on to say, "Gun control will be a seminal issue of this election; how can Tancredo differentiate himself from Hickenlooper when his record is nearly identical?"
Sen. Brophy added, “Congressman Tancredo touts himself as a conservative gun advocate, but his pro gun control record speaks to the contrary. My record of defending the Second Amendment in Colorado has been steadfast and unwavering. The people of Colorado know they can trust me. I think the Governor will be replaced by someone who has Colorado values instead of New York City values.”
######Senator Greg Brophy is serving the final year of his second term in the Colorado Senate. His campaign for Governor has taken him to all 64 counties in Colorado. For more information about Greg's campaign, visit www.GregForGovernor.com

Didn't Tancredo say he willnot debate any of his GOP opponents?

So it looks like Tanc is nothing more than a "Mountain Christie"

Brophy supports in-state tuition for illegal aliens and when he was on Pete's show last week he had no problem with an illegal being chosen over a citizen when it comes to entry to a state college.
Around the 38 minute mark.
