Now if we could only recall Obama!
Keep in mind these were organized and performed by pissed off constituents. It was only after the big money started flowing for defense that NRA & RMGO got involved. The big groups helped counter Bloomberg & others but it is really thanks to a couple people in each district that this happened.Organizing the recalls was the first step, getting the signatures for them was the second, this third step of throwing these two out of the CO Senate gives even more momentum to the people of Colorado telling their elected officials that they're job is to represent the people of Colorado and not the power brokers in New York, Chicago, or Washington.
Congratulations Coloradans and keep up the pressure!

It's enough to get them sweating bullets and every dime they spend during a recall campaign is money they can't spend during the next election (yes I know they're all rich).As much as I might wish it were otherwise, the POTUS cannot be recalled. However they can be impeached by Congress.
Also it is highly unlikely that politician’s who represent districts where the residents overwhelmingly support liberal/progressivism are going to recall any legislator whose views match theirs. San Francisco, CA is a good example.
In other words a recall will only work in certain circumstances.
What do you mean by that?Great, Good for Colorado.
Funny how it's not in the news.... You have to go looking for it.
What bothers me is the left are screaming those old dem catch words "voter suppresion" due to the non mail in ballots.
Any chance they can challenge this recall due to that??
Credit where credit is due. I don't think we could have done it without a candidate like George Rivera. He's well liked and respected by the whole community.
The message to Bloomberg is: "You can buy our politicians, but they won't remain in office if you do".
