PUEBLO, Colo. -

Supporters of Democratic Pueblo state Sen. Angela Giron are knocking on doors and calling those who signed a petition to recall her. Members of Pueblo United for Angela say they want to make sure people know what they signed.

Daniel Bravo signed the petition. On Wednesday afternoon, he received two calls from different people. He said the callers asked if he wanted to remove his name from the petition. He said no. Both times he asked who he was speaking to but said each time the caller hung up on him.

"I felt like I was being harassed only because they wouldn't tell me who they were," Bravo said.

Bravo voted for Giron in 2010, but now he wants her out of office.

The recall effort is getting scrutiny on both sides. KRDO-TV obtained a video in which you can hear Victor Head, the organizer behind the recall, talking about store managers from two local businesses bringing employees to sign the petition, all while still being on the clock.

In the video, Head says, "He drove his employees, one at a time, back to us," Head said with a chuckle. "Tell them to do it. Encourage 'em."

The democraps are intimidating the signers of the recall petitions in Colorado.

Can you detect more than a whiff of fascism there?
