Excerpted from a flyer handed out at the Tanner Gun Show in December...From Grassroots Citizens of Colorado...I believe these are the folks who got Sens. Morse, Giron recalled, and Sen Hudak to flee to avoid being recalled...

Could not find a website for Grassroots Citizens, but lots of related stuff on the 'Net...

Caused Sen Hudak to flee to avoid being recalled...

The libretards called Governor Sarah Palin a quitter when she was financially forced out of office. I think Hudak should be publicized as a quitter.

CO citizens will need to also have a change of governor in order to reverse the gun suppression laws.

The Republicans will present bills to repeal...

To be fair, even presenting bills to undo the worst of the damage is more than I expect of the Vichy Republicans. May it be so!

I'm not sure who "Grassroots Citizens of Colorado is but it does not seem to be related to the group that did the recalls of Sens. Morse, Giron. That group has disbanded and formed a new group, Colorado Second Amendment Association (or “C2AA”). www.colorado2a.org Regardless who it is, it's great that the pressure will continue! :)

Last email from BFDF:

To our supporters and fellow citizens

The Basic Freedom Defense Fund was started by a handful of politically naïve Coloradans for a single stated purpose – to bring about our state’s first recall elections in response to a direct attack on our Second Amendment rights. Only three short months ago, we did exactly that. We made history by unseating the Senate President and inspiring other recall movements around the state - and now even around the country - to stand up and hold their elected representatives accountable.

However, we said from the start that we would do what was needed and then get back to our normal lives. That time is here.

The BFDF is closing its organizational doors. Several of us have already resigned and returned to normal, day-to-day lives. Those who remain are in the process of settling final debts, closing down the website and filing our last round of paperwork. This will be the last email your receive from us and we want to use the opportunity to thank you one last time for all the time, money and passion you spent in helping us find some measure of justice for Colorado.

Of course, with that being said… a few of us are not done fighting quite yet.

Colorado was targeted for the legislative assault we faced in 2013 because we were vulnerable. Our greatest defense – an engaged citizenry – was weakened through years of “leaving it to the pros.” We assumed that other organizations and parties, local or national, were on duty and living up to their claims of vigilantly protecting our rights. But they weren’t. And we fell.

There can be no more farming out of our freedoms’ defenses. The time has come for citizens to stand up on their own and start protecting what is theirs. No one else owns your rights but you and no one has a greater vested interest in protecting them than you do. We want to help you do it.

We have formed a new organization, the Colorado Second Amendment Association (or “C2AA”), for the purpose of educating Coloradans about our Constitutional rights and providing the tools, resources and support Coloradans need to defend them. We’ll keep tabs on the legislature and alert our fellow citizens to laws or regulations that threaten our gun rights. We’ll help you learn about the political process and work with your own legislators to ensure that your voice is heard at the Capitol. And, most importantly, we will empower Coloradans to stand together by building a community of modern day minute men and women to act as our eyes, ears and voices at Town Halls and rallies in every corner of our state.

Of course, defending our rights is only half the battle – appreciating them is the other and that will have an equal focus. We’ll solidify and expand the Colorado gun owning community by promoting firearms training, from beginner safety instruction to concealed carry education to tactical and competitive tips. We’ll provide further networking opportunities by connecting certified instructors, FFL holders and range proprietors with our members. And we’ll offer an annual event where members can further cement their ties with fellow Colorado shooters, attend educational seminars to learn more about our rights and heritage and get hands-on introduction to the latest in shooting tactics and technology.

Through the Colorado Second Amendment Association, we want to inspire our fellow Coloradans to stand up for themselves and to stand together to protect – and regain – our Second Amendment rights in this state.

If you want to join with us and help to build this community, we invite you to click on this link and sign up for our newsletter. You can also subscribe at www.colorado2a.org at any point. But please remember, we keep our word and - unlike certain currently unemployed politicians - we respect people’s wishes. Unless you choose to sign up, you won’t be hearing from us (though we expect you’ll be hearing about us) again. We hope we can count on your support.

With our sincerest thanks,

The Basic Freedom Defense Fund & The Colorado Second Amendment Association

I’m really liking you Coloradan patriots. Stomp their commie and fascist nuts into the concrete.

Repeal the laws.

Then pass a law making it a crime for any legislator to introduce, sponsor or cosponsor a bill that would infringe gun ownership by requiring registration, or reguiring a permit, or by an other means. Punishable by no less than 20 years in prison.
