Are these guys actually on our side or do we just have a common enemy right now? Their site really only covers the Morse recall. What else are they about?

This is what they sent me after I donated


BFDF was born in February of 2013 and consisted of barely more than a half-dozen Coloradans who were outraged after watching our elected legislators - the very people hired to represent us - utterly dismiss some of the strongest opposition to proposed bills that had ever been seen here and simply buffalo through unwanted laws. Neither we nor the thousands who wrote, called, emailed and personally met with the lawmakers to object were anything but average citizens. We have real, non-political jobs. We support families. We pay taxes. We don't ask for any special treatment or favors. We just want to be left alone so we can be productive members of our communities and enjoy our lives in peace.

But that wasn't in the cards this time.

So we found each other and threw in together for a common and just cause. We learned - and are still learning - the political ropes and formalized our lessons learned. We made a plan and are executing it. We all still support our families and work for a living but we also volunteer every possible second to see this effort through. Each of us has now taken on the equivalent of a second and unpaid full-time job - some of us even more. We've taken time away from our children and loved ones; sacrificed what used to be thought of as free time; put startup businesses, side jobs and personal goals on indefinite hold while we fight. Some of us have lost out on family moments and business opportunities that will never come around again. But our freedom is worth it. So is yours.

The fact of life is that money really does make the world go 'round and it's the lifeblood of any venture with a chance of success. However much or little you donated, it was necessary and it was critical to our cause. Every dollar counts and, by donating, you've joined us in our fight and made our uphill battle that much easier. We're strengthened by your support and want you to know how much we appreciate the fact that you took the time and initiative to stand by us.

So... thank you for your recent donation to The Basic Freedom Defense Fund. We're honored.

Very Sincerely Yours,
-The Basic Freedom Defense Fund

They are all about fighting unconstitutional laws. They depend on donations to fight stuff and I have donated and will again. They aren't really on any one side other then the constitution and what's right.

[th3w01f]

Donated again.

Is there a limit to how much an individual can donate to a recall? I gave when they first started, but had a good overtime month in June and feel the urge to kick Morse and Giron in the daddy and mommy parts again.

There is no limit to how much you can donate but they need name and address if you donate over $20, need more information if you donate over $200 (or is it $250? I forget) to comply with election laws.
