Especially if we adopt the outlook that we are screwed.
The real fight is ahead of us. We need to show up enmasse next Saturday and we need to burn up the phone, e mail and snail mail lines.
We are Americans, we don't concede a fight, we embrace it.
Quitting early already? Come on, show some backbone.
And don't believe anything written in the Huffington post, sheesh.
True, I've been emailing and writing letters.. I think the Gov doesn't want a fight just an EO..Quote:

This is the real problem now... How many Colorado residents are actually "Coloradans"?
Never quit, I just think the GOV doesn't care about what we say or do, they want to get rid of guns..Quote:

I don't plan to become a subject to anyone.
Give it another 5-10 years of these transplants here in Colorado and it will look like California, Detroit, and New York, along with every other city the progressives and illegals have flocked to. America has been hijacked from within and taken hostage by a system of failure and corruption.
at least they don't have any crime in those cities you mention there because of the strict gun laws they have...[Roll1]Quote:

Sorry, I just had to put that one in.
There is a lot of opportunity for us to fight these legislative attempts. There are opportunities for us to get votes in the US Senate from redstate/rural Democrat senators up for reelection soon. Even here, Udall may be more vulnerable than he'd like, and subject to some pressure.
Do the work of writing often, calling often.
It's not a Lobby it's a fucking right!
I wish people here would stop saying "we're fucked". NO! We are not! Any ban in DC has to be OKed through congress/senate and even the NRA says we have the votes to stop a ban. Sure there might be some other things we might have to give away, hopefully we can control that from being over bearing. But in light of what the gun grabbers are talking, we aren't fucked. They just don't have the votes to get it through. We have to be loud, not poo-pooing: "oh we're so fucked" and giving up. Never give up!!!!!
I'm not a Coloradan by birth but I believe I'm a "Coloradan".Quote:

I still cannot call those 20 years my senior by their first name, or at least I always feel weird about it. Part of that culture was to start shooting at a young age (5 in my case) so that you could provide and protect your family. Those values have been lost in California as every nut bag in the country flocked there starting in the 60's.
I finally had enough and when the opportunity arose to move here to Colorado arose I jumped. It was here or Montana. I am not going to see another state that I love ruined by stupidity. My point, people of conviction and morals are from everywhere. Division helps no one.
Surrender?
NUTS!
I'm not a CO native... I moved her from CA. But I moved AWAY from CA for a reason! I'll be damned if I'm gonna let CO turn into another CA! I'm actually a Missourian... but the military has had me all over this country. My heart is in CO and I consider myself a Coloradan through and through! I'll stand up and fight for CO. I'll be there on Sat the 19th at noon... fighting for CO!
Same but I'm from OhioQuote:

It's like the Media is constantly putting out propaganda against all the old values whether it be guns, sex, patriotism you name its under attack. When I was kid we did not the Internet or 1000 TV channels to promote the propaganda that we are seeing now. Almost all forms of entertainment have some form of subliminal message. Our culture is being change from both the media and educators. It's quite sad, however hopefully there are enough of us still left in this great country to stop this liberal socialist madness that has arisen
It's the big cities that are the problem. Much of California is still quite rural, but the libs that flock to the big cities end up over-ruling the rest of the state. Hell, look at how much of the entire country is being governed by what the several big population centers want? It's insane.
Maybe 'fly-over country' should go on strike and let the big cities grow their own food. :D
You are not alone sir. How do we fix it? If we had a TV channel linked to the internet that promoted the American values we hold dear, could it be successful, or would it just get labeled as right-winger propaganda? I like to believe that there are enough red-blooded Americans in this country that still believe in those values. This last election has shown me otherwise, but I know that not all of those Americans voted or voted as they should have.Quote:
