I'm stuck at work all day. Not to worry I will be sure to piss off every liberal I work with ;)
Sent from my Otterbox Defended Tactical iPhone using High Capacity "Clips".
I signed up at the national site to be provided more information, received an email saying they were trying to link me up with local organizers and never received any additional information.Quote:

Just one day after Colorado legislators approved four new gun control bills a group of Coloradans have organized a march on the state capital to protest the proposed laws. The protest is planned for this Saturday, Feb. 23.
They’re organizing through Facebook, and their page reads, “To take a stand for our Second Amendment! It is not about hunting or home defense but a matter of national security! We must take a stand and let the government know that we support and defend the Constitution of the United States.”
The controversial bills passed by slim to generous margins and stipulate universal background checks for anyone who isn’t immediate family, a tax on gun transfers of between $5 and $12, a prohibition against concealed-carry on college campuses, and a magazine capacity limit of eight rounds for shotguns and 15 rounds for all other firearms.
It’s being called the “Denver Day of Resistance” and the page has information about how to get to the rally, which is scheduled to run between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m., and includes tips for dealing with police requests and lawful orders, counter-protesters and the press.
“Stand your ground and obey all laws. Obey any lawful orders by police or security officers. Do not obey any unlawful orders which would include ordering you off of public sidewalks or property to some place where you cannot be seen or heard.”
“If any Obama or gun control supporters show up and try to confront you or carry signs or flags among you that are embarrassing or not racially inclusive, just move away from them or insist that police separate them from your larger group. If anyone has an offensive sign or flag ask them to take it down or separate from your protests.”
We would like to add that while open-carry is legal in most of Colorado, it is not in the city and county of Denver. Gun rights marches around the country are often joined by protests armed in statement against gun control laws; the practice is a crime in Denver.
The Colorado Senate has not set a schedule for when they will vote on these bills. It could be later this week, although scheduling conflicts could push the vote back to a later date. It isn’t clear how much time protesters will have to speak out against the bills, which is why this protest is happening so soon.
“I know [the bills] are coming, and I strongly suspect they’ll get passed,” said Senate President John Morse, D-Colorado Springs, to the Denver Post. “But there’s still a long way to go and a lot of conversation to be had.
Will you be there? We will.
Thanks Belly!
OK- who is going?
Is there anyone even AT the capitol on a Saturday? I get the visibility to the public, but does anyone really think the politicos give two sh!ts?
Try reading what you wrote.Quote:

I want to thank everyone for everything they have done thus far. We have the porta potty taken care of, podium taken care of, PA system taken care of, and have 3-4 speakers lined up as of now.
Evan Todd from Columbine who wrote President Obama:http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013...de-are-you-on/
Rod Brandenburg a local gun store owner and staunch advocate of the 2nd Amendment.
Mike Holler who specializes in the 2nd Amendment and will tie history into how our right to bear arms has already been eroded.
Some guidelines for Saturday! This is a no open carry event, this is also a peaceful and family friendly 2nd Amendment Rally.
Make sure you invite friends and ask them to send emails to all of their email contacts with notes encouraging them to march with us Saturday 2/23/2013 at the State Capitol in Denver
Share rides or gas costs or offer to help others by going to our Facebook event page. You can share ideas, rides, and gas money. Many people are calling out asking for rides or people to share travel costs. Proceed at your own risk, but consider carpooling by posting!
Stand your ground and obey all laws. Obey any lawful orders by police or security officers. Do not obey any unlawful orders which would include ordering you off of public sidewalks or property to some place where you cannot be seen or heard. Conduct these protests in picket style where you march in motion, back and forth, or in a circuit where you can be seen by vehicular traffic and the capitol building windows. The Supreme Court has ruled that permits and fees or notice are not required for our freedoms of speech and assembly. Review this video and stand your ground politely and firmly. Stand up for your rights tomorrow and don't let officers working for liberal gun control supporters run you off or put you in a bad location.
Counter protesters.
If any Obama or gun control supporters show up and try to confront you or carry signs or flags among you that are embarrassing or not racially inclusive, just move away from them or insist that police separate them from your larger group. If anyone has an offensive sign or flag ask them to take it down or separate from your protests.
You may be approached by the media. Some of them will want you to speak at length so they can cherry pick your comments. Speak to the media and tell them in 60 seconds or less the most important reasons you are there. Repeat yourself over and over again to get your main points across. Simply tell the media that you are there to express your concerns about our constitution and to educate other Americans about many of the destructive things the gun restrictions are doing.

I'll do my best to exhaust all peaceful possibilities first.
I was hoping to actually have a weekend to do chores but I'll go. Anyone want to carpool from C Springs? I can pay gas or take 5 or 6 passengers.
I'll be there with my kids

Be there or be square.

We have to keep fighting and sending emails and calls to Hickenlooper. It's working.

Good luck everyone, I'm going to be in an infant care class with the wife.
Got here a little early so am parked a couple blocks from capitol. Will wander over a little closer to start time.
Hangin out by one of the cannons[Coffee]
I'm over between the statue and the guy selling books.
Can't gauge the crowd, I'm guessing about 2/3 of last month -- not bad for how spur-of-the-moment it was. No bad singing (yet). Invocation and first speaker are good.
I know they don't give two shits. The whole process is a sham.Quote:

“We need six Democrats on the Senate side to come over and join in with Republicans. I don’t see this happening,” said Sen. Marble.
6 D Senators needed? What happened to 3?
Intentional misreporting or mistake?
