The grassroots group that organized to recall State Senator Angela Giron for her anti-gun votes — Pueblo Freedom and Rights — has launched two TV ads that should put to rest any notion that they are somehow part and parcel of an all-powerful “national gun lobby.”
The first spot pushes back against the lies coming from Giron’s campaign that her opponents are somehow out-of-state interests, or “extremists from Denver.” It features the three plumbers from Pueblo who initiated and ran the recall effort speaking direct to camera earnestly about their grassroots effort.
The ad has a charm about it — far from a slickly produced spot, it’s a raw, amateurish ad that underscores the grassroots nature of the recall effort. No political professionals are they, but everyday citizens fed up with their rights being violated by a Senator who won’t listen.
The second spot features video of Senator Giron saying that a question about whether she will protect Second Amendment rights is not a yes or no question.
Down in Pueblo, most voters probably don’t see it that way. The Bill of Rights ain’t shades of grey.
Check out the second ad after the jump:
Thanks for your efforts on the recall, get it done!
Too bad that they're interpreting the 2nd amm. from 1700's instead of 21st century, and just being pawns of the terrorists at the top of the NRA, who don't give a crap about your rights and are laughing at their pawns. Brains over guns people, brains….
Why don't we all do something similar?
How is that funny? Are those outside of her district not allowed to comment or be informed of what's going on with the recall election? What I think is funny is how you ended a statement with a question mark.
Anthony Kimo Ricci Well put young man! Thank you for your hard work and dedication. Don't give up after this recall election, win or lose. America needs more fine young men like you to protect her and her Constitution from those who seek to destroy it.
It's about time someone told the truth, THANKS GUYS!
Really like the ad guys. Good job and spot on and the truth, hope Giron gets the boot.
A guy from Organizing for America with Chicago license plates is running Giron's campaign in Pueblo. The Dem machine sees this battle as vital. They seem afraid of The People.
Kris Hulet Its called hard work and dedication. i know them personally. Adam and Victor are my uncles and i helped with all this from the very beginning. We got so many donations and volunteers to help with recall. We did fundraisers and scavenged enough money to put up a tv commercial so everyone can know the real truth. Its been us from the beginning and we will be there till the end. Any candidate is better than she is at this point. If she doesn't want to uphold the constitution then she gets the boot and we will vote for someone that will. Half truths? Like what? The FACT that she did not listen to her constituents or the FACT that she would not protect the 2nd amendment. The FACT that she has lied and said that the organizations against her are wealthy outside groups. The FACT that she paid for supporters to harass us while trying to gather signatures to recall her. The FACT that a 14 year old boy carrying a US flag was almost hit by a car swerving into his path with a pro-angela sticker. Your kind of people make me sick saying we are the liars. and if you agree with all of the stupid, useless, and a waste of time gun bills trying to or already been past then i would be more than happy to explain why each one is stupid, useless, and a waste of time. if you don't want me to then just know this: I am 16 years old and more intelligent than you. Have a nice day!
P.F.R.
The recalling Rep. Diana DeGette also? the retard that thought MAgs were only usable once?
It would be nice to see money from around the United States pour in to support this recall effort against these treasonist dictators, all of their out of state money they receive should be match dollar for dollar. Intersting how the democrats accept all of the out of state funds and influence that comes with it, yet makes all kinds of noise that the locals are doing that to them. How typical!
I want to know where the local groups managed to get so many funds to mount the campaign they did? This was a huge and expensive campaign which I don't believe is a locally funded movement and I wish they had the integrity and transperancy they expect from the other side. I am tired of the half truths they use to accuse and the negative comments I get from people who have never met or spoken to Angela. Good luck finding a "good" candidate to replace her. Good luck finding a representative that is not swayed in some manner by the party they claim. You all want Jesus to be your rep at the state and he isn't going there.
Awesome. Hold her accountable!!! Make your voice heard!
Thank God Ubama is going to declare martial law soon and we can finally dispense with this hilarious notion that government is accountable to the people.
Help me out with figuring out if there is yet another clear lie in the Giron support ad? Her ad says she is 'already on the ballot' for 2014. I can't find anything anywhere about who is 'on the ballot.' Indeed, only thing I can find (not recall related) about her in 2014 is talk about her running for the US Senate…
Can anyone help me find the right 'official' place to confirm she is actually on the ballot?
This is between Angela and the people she represents, I wish that outside interests would stay out of it.
Just wanted to say I saw your 2 commercials and I live in Pueblo. I support what you guys are doing. If you have not seen this video I think it is one you should show people it is a little long but powerful and educational. Please let me know if you have seen it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vry0AdNTZz0
funny that most commenters are not from her district?
I am not from Colorado (my friend who posts this information is). LOVE IT! I am praying that you achieve your objective. Goverment is out of control.
Angela Giron, is the one following the out of state anti gun extremists and their money
should come back and visit.
Good stuff!
These are great. Short, sweet and to the point!
if people only knew that the out of state interest are giving money to her campaign, via Bloomberg NY City mayor, plus other left wing groups.
YES! Those ads are exactly spot on. They will mean more to the Citizens of Pueblo than the lies & smoke screens produced by Bloombergs PAC's! So proud of these fine young men – true, honest, down to earth PATRIOTS!
Oh yea!
Very good! Thank you for speaking up!
Have to say I appreciate when the PEOPLE stand up to their actions and publicly refute the political scams. Let's see how does that go… "We the PEOPLE…."
Good stuff
YES!
LOVE THESE!
