And now a little less doom and gloom - Some Colorado Dems Gun-Shy About Gun Control

[Sawin]

There's a rally on Friday the 8th at 1200

Why do people keep saying 1200?!?! It's at 10AM NATIONWIDE, local time. The 8th is correct.

There are a few Dems who wont vote for this, but a few is not a enough. They have a huge majority in the House and a comfortable majority in the Senate. Additionally, the left wing socialist scum that controls the party will push hard on the moderate Dems.

So here is how it will go. The Dem leadership wants X. If they have the votes and there are some members who do not want X, they will let them vote no. If they need votes, they will bribe the fence sitters until they vote yes. That can be $/projects for their district or just primo placement in the legislature.

Then hickenlooper will say something like i have been listening to the voters and they have spoken, they have urged us and convicenced me that this is necssary and will make everything better and he will sign the bill...

Fade to black....

Seriously, WTH schedules a rally for a work day when their target demographic AREN'T Obama voters? Sorry, I'm not in the Wisconsin Teachers Union, I can't call in sick to go hang out at a political rally.

Are you going to go rally in front of an empty building at the Capitol on a weekend when no one is there? Our gov works the same days as the rest of us.

Who was it who kept saying that Obama has never tried to pass gun control laws while president, and he won't during his second term? Who was it that saying the right wing republicans were out to smear Obama's name with gun ban rumors? Some who still drink the koolade need to really let off. Obama and his pals want our guns, make no mistake. Luckily we have some democrats on our side, but most want nothing more than a peasant culture.

Did you go to the rally on SATURDAY the 19th? When we had that rally... people were saying "but it is a weekend... nobody will be there" and now that we are having one during the week people are saying "but it is a work day... don't people know we work?" People have been given options now... but my guess is the excuses will continue to flow.

I was at the one on Sat the 19th and I'll be at the one tomorrow on Friday. I had to talk it over with the boss, but he is flexible... I'll work a few more hours today and a few hours over the weekend to make up for the few hours I miss tomorrow. If I couldn't do that, I could always just take a half a day of PTO. I know PTO is precious and people don't want to "waste" it... but I find the cause important enough to use a half a day of vacay if I have to.

Do we have a website for the rally? I want accurate info before playing hooky for a couple hours at work.

The way the Democrat party is running to the left, there won't be room for pro-2A candidates much longer. The conservative Democrats have already been pushed out.

It seems there are a ton of BlueDogs in Colorado actually. Especially after the first two years of "Obama bliss" wore off, and more people switched to the RonPaul bandwagon. There's hope even in Colorado. The big problem is all the assholes moving from California and never leaving, ugh. More Texans need to move here to balance it out!

BP, the are groups organizing at both 10am and 12pm tomorrow. The bulk of them now appear to be convening at noon local time, when scheduled speakers will get behind a microphone.
