Angela Giron, one of two Colorado state senators who is up for a recall election on Sept. 10 as a result of voting for new gun restrictions earlier this year, did not hesitate when I asked her over the weekend what the recall meant for New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg’s group, Mayors Against Illegal Guns, and the rest of the national gun-control movement.
“For Mayors Against Illegal Guns, if they lose even one of these seats, they might as well fold it up. And they understand that,” she said.

Bloomberg’s heavy investment in the race has become an easy target for the pro-recall side. “Mr. Bloomberg’s money and his 'consultants' have poured into these recall districts, creating a David versus Goliath battle. Certainly, the recalls in Colorado are about unworkable restrictions on gun owners, but they’re also about who should influence our state government—our own citizens or the rich and powerful from the East,” declared Jon Caldara of the conservative Independence Institute in Denver.
...
The recall has, over time, drawn in plenty of issues other than guns. The candidates running to replace Giron and Morse are strongly anti-abortion, and this has drawn in Planned Parenthood, which recently sent out 27,000 mailers. Conservation Colorado, an environmental group, has donated $75,000 to one of the anti-recall groups.

This Local Election Could Determine the Future of Gun Control. Why Michael Bloomberg has gone all-in on a Colorado race
Bloomburg’s presence in this Colorado issue has to really piss off a lot of Colorado citizens.
How much is he paying every Democrat voter?
These people are to stupid and into themselves to understand the only reason they are being recalled is they went against the US Constitution and the will of the people.
Of course Mayor Bloomburg is involved! The action represents "a serious danger to New York State security."

Colorado Ping ( Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from the list.)
I hope it really does and they remember that at the voting booth and run these two a—holes out of office. This would also mean a larger step to clean up the trash here in Colorado as well.

I hope these two go down in flames, and I hope they drag Ken Saladber with them.
Morse senate “clean energy” bill has now cost me 35% more on my electrical, service availability charge.
Northeastern interests have been establishing some control in Colorado for a long time, mostly environmentalist, legislating mythical rights of animals above people, planning/building and other regulations to support NY-like rackets. The elite folks from California were mostly originally from the northeast.
Too bad the no information voters don’t realize what happened.
