A message from the Basic Freedom Defense Fund:
On July 3rd, the Secretary of State's office rejected Senator John Morse's argument that more than 10,000 citizens' signatures should be thrown out. The validity of our effort was found to be legal and Constitutional, and we were cleared to move forward with Colorado's first-ever Recall election.
However, immediately following the announcement, the Morse camp implied that they will sue for an injunction with the same intent of grinding us down with legal costs until we literally cannot afford to fight back. Rather than let the recall proceed and allow the voice of Colorado to be heard in an undeniable, public venue, Morse and his party will continue to drag us into court over minutiae, playing legal games and delaying justice for the people of his own district as long as legally possible. Not satisfied with simply ignoring his constituency, he is now bent on maliciously silencing them entirely.
Against all odds, we delivered more than enough signatures to force a recall - a nearly impossible feat, to be sure, and something that no one has ever done in 137 years. But without financial support, we cannot carry this much further. We will continue to fight these challenges as long as we can but we are average citizens with limited - and now nearly exhausted - resources.
Now we need your help.
We cannot continue to do this without your active participation in paying for the legal defense against Senator Morse's attacks. We are asking you to help us support the burden of our freedoms, to show that the consent of the governed is not optional and to prove that average citizens do have the ability to hold politicians accountable for their actions.
Please answer this call to arms. Go to http://www.basicfreedomdefensefund.org/ and donate whatever you can today.
With Sincerest Thanks,
The Basic Freedom Defense Fund
