Another Dim who won by the skin of his teeth. He's gone if recalled.

Colorado House of Representatives, District 59, General Election, 2012

Party		Candidate	Vote %	Votes
		Democratic	Mike McLachlan	51.1%	21,632
	Republican	J. Paul Brown Incumbent	48.9%	20,715
Total Votes				42,347

Indeed, McLachlan’s opponents face tough odds to get on the ballot. The number of signatures they need is 25 percent of the total vote in House District 59 in the last election. Put in other terms, they have 60 days to get valid signatures from more than half of the people who voted against McLachlan in November.

Misleading. Signatures can come from people who even voted for McLachlan but are now angry because he mislead them.

I’ve never heard of him, but best of luck removing his ass. The one you should really be recalling is that pedophile-enabler, Farandino.

[Travis McGee]

Chuck all the traitors out. Ballot box.....this time.

“Getting on the ballot is the biggest hurdle, and that is always a problem,” Spivak said.

Insulting veterans and threatening county Sheriffs should ease the burden of collecting sufficient signatures.

[Vince Ferrer]

Durango and Colorado Springs ought to be able to get the signatures. Lots of gun owners in both places.

[Standing Wolf]

Organizers now have about two months to collect 10,586 valid signatures from voters in McLachlan’s House District 59.

That won't be difficult. Durango is not leftist extremist country.

Last chance...

[Red Steel]

FYI, the CO state House has just passed the Senate amended magazine ban legislation. It’s going to Gov Hickenlooper desk.

When Looper signs it Magpul is gone.

I’ve been a part of these grass-roots resistance efforts and can tell you that once the effort gets mounted, it is more than likely to succeed.

[jiggyboy]

Indeed. Strictly speaking, that last sentence you quoted is factually incorrect. Yeah we know what he means, but still.

[Red Steel]

From the article -

"Other legislators could be recall targets, too, but Garcia said the group wants to “keep a lid on them” for now. "

There are 2 Dem state reps in El Paso, County, CO Spgs that overlap and/or are in Senate John Morse's district. They are Pete Lee and Tony Exum; possible prime candidates for recall.

[TexasTransplant]

RECALL? Should just charge him with Treason and set a Precedent

TT

That won’t be difficult. Durango is not leftist extremist country.

There are way too many of them here, though. We’ll get enough signatures to recall McLachlan’s sorry azz.

[TigersEye]

The more the merrier. I will kick in what I can to fund these recalls and I hope RMGO will do what it can to help the efforts.

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks Red Steel.

“I look forward to a full discussion of the issues,” McLachlan said.

SOB just keeps lying.

[PotatoChop]

I live to see Americans fighting these liberal socialist and taking that fight directly to each of them!

Let me know how I can help as well in this recall effort. I don't live CO, but will help anyway I can!!!!!!!!

Americans cannot just sit by and hold our collective breaths in hopes these socialist don't succeed in passing “gun control” Americans need to get active in preventing this legislation from passing and making any socialist who has proposed and supported “gun control” in any form pay with a recall of this public official and throw his or her a$$ out of office immediately!!!!

Keep up the great work you are all doing!!

[PotatoChop]

“I look forward to a full discussion of the issues,” McLachlan said.”

Sir, that time has passed! You are out of here and don't let the door hit you in the a$$ on the way out!

I forwarded this page onto my sister and brother-in-law in Colorado Springs. Now he has some guns and makes his own ammo. (Hi Becky & David, see you next month!)
