New recall effort targets Democratic Colorado Senator Evie Hudak for her support of gun-control laws

A renewed and spirited effort is underway to recall Sen. Evie Hudak, a Democrat from Westminster, less than six months after an initial effort faltered.

Organizers from within Senate District 19 were certified by the secretary of state late Friday to begin gathering signatures to have a recall placed on the ballot. The group, "Recall Hudak, too," must gather about 18,900 valid signatures within 60 days, and on its website the group even has a running ticker that counts down to the deadline.

"She has infringed upon our constitutional right to keep and bear arms. She has voted to make all citizens less safe and to drive hundreds of jobs from Colorado," reads an excerpt of the petition language e-mailed by Mike McAlpine, a spokesman for the group.

The effort puts in motion what many in Colorado political circles have feared: a never-ending election cycle.

Hudak's Democratic colleagues, Senate President John Morse and Sen. Angela Giron, were ousted in September by voters in their southern Colorado districts for backing controversial gun-control laws.

Hudak sent 7NEWS this comment about the recall effort:

"It appears a small group is seeking to undo the will of voters, who re-elected me to the Senate last November. Unable to defeat me then, they are now attempting a political power grab using a low voter turnout, no mail ballot recall election strategy. The perpetual recall of legislators that we are now seeing is an obstacle to governing and addressing the needs of Coloradans, especially those impacted by devastating floods. The approval of a recall petition will not change my focus on the 2014 legislative session, during which I will advocate for women and seniors, and for the best education we can provide our children – just as I have always done."

And the rest of you can go to hell. Supposed to represent all the people,
not the selected few of your choosing.

Small Group? Then you have nothing to worry about. I seem to recall the same nonsense from 2 of your recalled comrade clowns who had the same viewpoint. What did you win by last time? About 500 votes? LoL.

If it's a "small group", you have nothing to worry about. Right Slick? I'm afraid it's those pist-off, American gun owners who are about to send your freeloading political career down the toilet and into the sewer.

Wow, one look at Evie’s picture above motivated me to make a small donation from behind the iron curtain surrounding the People’s Democratic Republic of Maryland.

How you Colorado folks are out there volunteering.
