We were wrong. Recall target Democratic Senate President John Morse isn’t going gently into that good night. He’s going to let the Los Angeles Times do the heavy lifting for him. How courageous. This morning, the newspaper published a piece about the Morse recall effort that attempted to frame Morse’s recall as a reaction to the massive overreach on gun regulation by the Colorado State Democratic legislators. That’s just a symptom of the problem – Morse was elected to represent Coloradans and has failed miserably, bowing to special interests (ahem, Mayor Bloomberg) instead.
Fortunately, I Am Created Equal’s Laura Carno set the record straight about the Morse recall, telling the Los Angeles Times:
“What’s at stake in this recall election is the definition of the relationship between citizens and their government officials. We hire you. We can fire you.”
That Morse ran off crying to a newspaper in Los Angeles should come as no surprise since he’s relied on primarily out-of-state sources to come to his rescue. Maybe this just further underscores the need to recall Morse. Does Colorado need a damsel in distress, who is now indebted to Mayor Bloomberg, as State Senate President?
Here is a Challenge to the Recalled John Morse, if you lose this recall election and are removed from office at the cost of over $200,000 tax payer dollars, you should pay the public back out of your personal funds, the current funds in your war chest should be held in case of default! If you win then you will agree to be tarred and feathered by your constituents.
I really resent people who live outside the state (whatever that state is) giving money to politicians in my state. I really do. I, however, do not know how to get it changed. Any ideas. I think it happens under the term "freedom of speech."
Thanks Laura Carno! Words that define well the recall. In this situation, though, why exactly should we give a shit about what the LA Times says – or in any situation, for that matter, considering they never pick the correct side of an issue.
When you go on national television and ask your junior senators to "ignore the desires of your constituents", you deserve at best to be recalled. Sadly, tarring and feathering is now frowned upon.
Thank you Laura Carno!
