A Whole Lot of People For John Morse is quickly being exposed as a Few Special Interests Saving John Morse’s Hide. In a report on the financial backing of the Morse front group by Morse’s hometown paper, the Colorado Springs Gazette, it is revealed that a Black Hawk casino and big Pharma are bankrolling the effort.
Per the Gazette:
Citizens for Integrity, a Denver-based non-profit, gave $25,000 to Morse’s campaign. Mainstream Colorado, a Denver-based political action committee, donated $15,000.
Mainstream is registered to the liberal front-person Julie Wells and the latest financial report said Wells’ group took in $25,000 from Riviera Black Hawk Casino and another $25,000 from Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America Action Fund. The group has a variety of funding sources however, according to the April 15, report.
It’s kind of sad that the strongest in-state connection the pro-Morse forces are able to generate is a big check from a casino.
Despite the big bucks coming from Black Hawk, with over 16,000 signatures turned in by the Morse recall organizers we’re betting the odds are not in Morse’s favor.
Is it only the Riviera? I think we should boycott them all! just in case…Morse is a bad man, and needs to be gone…
NICE!! THATS THE WAY WE MUST PLAY!!
YES BOYCOTT THE RIVIERA..
Ah, Riviera, going to BackHawk, avoding you. Already not spending any money in Denver or Boulder, not for gas, food, shopping, I can take my own from the 7-11 in Idaho springs.
I smell a casino boycott coming….
I'll never gamble again at the Riviera. (Of course, I gamble nowhere.)
Isn't the Riviera the Mob-owned Casino. Too bad that Morse can get the support from within his own district. He's got to go outside the district and outside the state.. It's the people within his district that should count, but as we have seen with the last session, that's not what it's all about for Morse.. It's all about money and the big money tramps wondering into the state..
See ya Black Hawk, don't care what casino it is, I won't be going there again!
