MAIG Getting involved in recall...

[mb504]

Here is a letter that just went out by Bloomberg's gun ban group...

When regular voting opens on Thursday, Colorado will have a big role to play in the future of gun violence prevention -- both here in our state and on the national stage.

That's why it is absolutely critical that Coloradans know why they should vote NO on the recall of Senators Morse and Giron.

Your neighbors in Pueblo and El Paso can vote at any polling place in their county on Thursday, September 5th; Friday, September 6th; Saturday, September 7th; Monday, September 9th; and Tuesday, September 10th.

And right now, they need a reminder from your -- make a phone call to Pueblo and El Paso voters.

Each vote will send a message that we're standing up for Colorado's gun laws and telling the gun lobby to save the politics for an election year.

You're in a unique place: Your phone call could change the outcome of this election -- you could remind someone to vote and determine whether Colorado's elected officials have to fear political retribution for voting with a majority of Coloradans.

Thanks,

Mayors Against Illegal Guns

Looks like they are paying the tab to have people call voters. Looks like they give you a script to use... wouldn't it be a shame if callers used their own script?

Hi John, my name is Mack and I'm a volunteer with Mayors Against Illegal Guns. I'm calling because the NRA and extremist gun groups have organized a recall effort targeting Senators John Morse and Angela Giron. Do you have a minute to answer some questions about the election and common-sense gun reform?


Do you support comprehensive background checks for gun sales?
Yes
No

Do you plan to vote in the special election scheduled for September 10?
Yes
No

If you plan on voting in the special election, are you planning to support Senators Morse and Giron by voting NO on the recall?
Yes
No

Are you interested in volunteer opportunities to help spread the word about the recall and support Senators Morse and Giron?
Yes
No

Thank you for your time, and don't forget to vote "NO" on the recall between September 5th and September 10th.

This is hilarious since Morse and Giron put out ads that never mention gun control. Wonder how happy they are with the "help".

I've been telling people that New York is starting to dictate what Colorado does.
Do they let us dictate what goes on there? NO.
Then why should the people of Colorado put up with it?
Do something!! Vote these crooks out!!
Everyone I talked to about it agree.

I escaped NY for a reason-I'll be damned if I have to put up with the their bs again!!

I think these recalls will be a glimpse into our future here in CO. If both survive the recall we are completely screwed. At least Morse has to be recalled for us to even have a small hope of changing things here.
