Yet have Coloradans initiated any recall petitions?
The key is to threaten them before they vote, with perhaps one of their leaders in a strong district, but a bunch of rank and file in weak and contested districts.
State legislators often just narrowly get elected and reelected, so they are very sensitive about things that could change the balance in their district.
This was recently proven in the reddest of districts in Arizona. The head of the Arizona senate was thrown out of office by a concerted effort by out of state forces. And there is no reason in the world in blue Colorado or deeply blue Connecticut, that it could not happen there.
Recall petitions started in Durango, and talk of one in Pueblo.
Yeah, I think there are two recall petitions that are just getting started.
Trouble is, the districts the Rats come from are really liberal so a recall is likely to fail.
My hope is that these bills will be challenged in the Fed court and overturned via Heller et al.
Recall effort begins in CO.
