Did you guys even read the whole article and can you comprehend what was stated? RMGO said they confronted her because she had not said where she stood on the bills. The lobbyist even stated it had nothing to do with civil unions.
A lot of what RMGO does is behind the scenes. I think a lot of you are jut looking for a reason not to send your $25. If you don't want to support them then don't but don't bitch when we loose even more rights.
I already sent them my $25 for the year... so there's that. No, the fact that she wasn't one that really needed to be threatened (and speaking with a mutual friend/business associate of Mrs. Gerou, the RMGO Lobbyist was out of line) is over the top for me. I feel that RMGO needs to be more respectful. Dudley needs to get his head in THIS game, not every tea/conservative fight out there. Those can wait, this can't. And I agree, he's butting heads and throwing mud at the NRA, and we can't have division among ourselves at this time.Originally Posted by newracer

Yeah I read it, and I get that, BUT do you get that doing all the other things, gives the A-holes ammo? That's why the NRA sticks to guns and keeps out of the other stuff. When Dudley and Neville are throwing thier hat into the ring on other issues it opens the door to RMGO being thrown in that ring as well. Hence this EXACT situation and the media having ammo to twist it. The fact that he's caught up in a lawsuit right now for that drags RMGO into that spotlight, like it or not.
And yes, I too have already signed up for my membership and donated extra to them this year, that's why I'm irritated by this crap, I have given them my name and my $$ to be my voice in the state capital. As a member, I feel it is my right and responsibility to voice my opinion on how they are handling business. When non-gun issue BS causes harm to the gun rights cause, I take issue with that. I send money to other organizations to lobby on those issues.

WTH are you guys getting this shit from? I know it's all the vogue in the mainstream media to denigrate anything to do with Tea Party conservatism but I expected more from people in a forum that are less likely to be Obamabots. Tea Party conservatism is/was about fiscal discipline and restraining the growth and intrustion of the federal government -- it has/had nothing to do with social conservatism. Sure, there are a lot of Tea Party conservatives that are also social conservatives -- there are also a lot of social conservatives who aren't Tea Party conservatives.
Regardless of where you stand on various social or fiscal issues, internal sniping between different factions only helps the Obamabots. We lost the federal and a lot of state elections precisely because Dick Lugar and his supporters looked down on the Tea Party candidate who beat him in the primaries and because Tea Party and social conservatives looked down on "moderates" and so-called "RINOs" and because liberal Republicans sniff at social conservatives, etc. Loss of those elections contributed a hell of a lot to the liberal extremists being emboldened toward implementing increased gun control and doubling down on their agenda of increased social spending, regressive taxation and "change".
We have met the enemy and it is us.
Yeah... I sent a request to remove me from their mailing list when they started bashing the NRA. I unsubscribed and let them know why (we are on the SAME side... the school yard bickering like little girls is not what we need right now). However, I'm still receiving emails from them so they apparently aren't honoring unsubscribe requests. By law... they have 2 weeks to remove me from their list... at which time if they don't, they are subject to up to $16,000 fines per incident that follows according to the CAN-SPAM act!
I can't believe you guys would give any credibility to the liberal rag propaganda. The Denver Post is very anti-gun along with the 60's radical Bartels who wrote that article. The only way Gerou can win elections in her district is to pretend she is affiliated with the Republican party, She is just another liberal. This to me is an obvious attempt to smear RMGO, in light of what is going on in our state with the gun issue. Sometimes you have to read between the lines. This is only one side to this story and you guys are believing it and passing judgment. You guys are being punked by the liberal media.

It's not about giving them credibility, they already have it with those whom we are fighting against and with the fence sitters. So that point is moot to begin with.
It's about not giving them the opportunity to bash us over the head with non-gun issue politics. Brown and Neville's actions have opened that door and surprise surprise, they walked right through it and are using it to club us over the head. Believe it or not, a good percentage of the population still thinks the DP is a news organization and not a liberal mouthpiece, no matter if it's true or not.
When are we going to wake the F up and figure out that if we try to play on all front's at once we're going to get our asses handed to us. We didn't get here over night and we aren't going to get it back on track over night. They used progressive, incrimental steps to get us cornered, and we need to do the same to get out of it. Stop fighting by the rules you think are there, or should be there, and start fighting within the real constraints of the fight.
How do you know what really happened between Neville and Gerou? Were you there?
I read the article assuming its biased and what I read is that RMGO once again shows that its a screwup org by allowing the conflict of interest of the two topics to be used against us.
That's my point.
