Recall Petitions Started Against Colorado Reps and Senators

[JM44-40]

Let's hope this goes through. Used to work a lot in Durango -- but no more. McLachlan represents that district and according to the Durango Herald, the opinion is around 65% in favor of recall. Here's the link to the site in Colorado on the recalls.

Official grievance against Mike McLachlan:

"Representative McLachlan campaigned as a defender of the 2nd Amendment.

Yet he said on the House floor “I believe there is no doubt that the overwhelming support of the people that were there were opposed to any restriction whatsoever…. No constitutional right, not even the 2nd Amendment is absolute.” He voted for these bills despite acknowledging overwhelming opposition to these bills from his constituency.

Representative McLachlan campaigned to be “a representative that carries Southwest Colorado’s common sense values to our State legislature."

Instead he introduced a 15 round magazine limit, an arbitrary number that is neither standard nor common on any production rifle and which infringes on the right of Coloradans to effectively defend themselves.

Representative McLachlan has betrayed the trust of his constituents, his oath to uphold the 2nd Amendment and the rights of gun owners by voting YES on gun control measures in both the Judiciary Committee and the House of representatives. He has blatantly refused to carry out the acknowledged desires of the overwhelming number of the very people he was elected to represent.

He has failed to represent the values and opinions of the citizens of the 59th District and should be recalled from service."

Not all Democrats are gun grabbers. Many support gun rights, especially at the State level.

While this is true, a Dimocrat is more likely to change positions in order to be backed by his party in the next election.

Hey y'all, just popping in from the mile high gungrabber state. All but a couple of democrats voted along party lines up here for the new gun control laws. All I can do is warn you guys, the DNC, or Obama/Biden has got some kind of leverage on the state level parties, and not just in Colorado, but in several states, they are party voting for this insanity. We may be moving back if things don't go well in 2014.

You're making a joke, right? Surely you're not serious.

Some believe it still. I can tell you that alot of the gun owning liberals in this state(colorado) are eating crow right now, as nearly all party-line voted. The background check will require us to have one done to let a friend shoot your gun. If I leave town, after 72hrs my wife would have to submit to one to legally use my guns. The magazine ban, depending on how its interpreted, could ban most magazine fed guns due to wording. After July 1, I wont be able to sell my XDM in the state. Not one republican voted for this, but all but one or two democrats did, including one who claimed to have been pro-gun last year.

Wow, that website describes a total political weasel. He should not have a minute's rest when he's in the district -- not shopping, getting a haircut, going for an oil change, etc. Stop short of stalking but he needs to hear it from his constituents on a regular basis.
