Colorado Springs Police Protective Association Backs Morse Recall ( CO Gun Grabber )
Colorado Observer. ^ | August 15, 2013 | Leslie Jorgensen

Battling a recall election, Senate President John Morse has boasted that police support him and his impassioned push for gun-control laws. But in his own backyard, a police association want Morse booted out of office.

The Colorado Springs Police Protective Association, which represents more than 800 city law enforcement members, held a press conference Wednesday to encourage voters to vote “yes” to recall Morse. They also endorsed Republican Bernie Herpin to replace Morse.

“We are asking the citizens of Senate District 11 to vote yes to recall John Morse and replace him with Bernie Herpin to give us an actual advocate for law-abiding citizens,” said Officer Barry Freeman, who serves on the Colorado Springs Police Protective Association (CSPPA) Board of Directors

CSPPA members cited several reasons for their decision to support the recall of Morse – including the Democrat lawmaker using a photo of himself in a law enforcement uniform in campaign materials, and his assertions of passing legislation that would protect the public, especially children, from criminals.

Morse has been soft criminals and made police officers’ jobs tougher in the eyes of CSPPA.

...

“During his time in the senate, John Morse didn’t ask for our input once on public safety issues and consequently passed legislation that made our jobs tougher,” said Officer Barry Freeman, who serves on the CSPPA Board of Directors.

...

“Morse has ignored us and our concerns while Bernie Herpin has worked hard for us for decades. This endorsement was a no-brainer,” said CSPPA Board Director Tim Ives.

Not just California. Most of the California transplants are conservatives. It is the Northeast and Midwest liberals that are polluting our politics with their northeast commie crap.

Illinois, Iowa, Delaware, Massholes and New York plates are far more common than California, and have been for 15 years. It is easy for me to figure out as I examine their cars. The selling dealer sticker on the back, or the license plate on newer transplants.

I will take a Californian over a Chicago jerk any day.

Puff piece in the local paper and some lawyer, guest Op-Ed crying for Morse.

Morse's picture in today's paper doing his walking, butt-kissing tour.

"Penni Duncan pledges her support to Sen. John Morse when he visits her home on Tuesday, August 13, 2013. "


Morse's whining in the Gazette - Waah Waah...

"There's all kinds of forgery that took place," Morse says. "One woman signed the petition who died two years ago." Accusations of fraud and forgery were submitted to the El Paso County District Attorney's Office by Democrats, but there have been no charges or formal investigation. "

If there was a successful investigation Morse, it would show your Dem supporters that were the ones trying to sabotage the recall effort.

Senate President John Morse, D-Colorado Springs, and Sen. Angela Giron, D-Pueblo, both face recall elections against them on Sept. 10.

I am getting ready to celebrate.

El Paso County (ie Colorado Springs) Sheriff Terry Maketa is on the air doing commercials against John Morris. They are excellent spots. John Morris is toast.
