jimoshel Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 I know we're asked to keep politics off the forum but I'm really curious. Has any of you been aware of the recall election we had here to recall two Senators who voted for a gun law? Magazine size restriction. Any way they got voted out. I'm just wondering how much attention this got around the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ride172 Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 I bet there are a couple people in New York and Washington DC who have been following pretty closely and are now very upset.... They should pay attention, for this movement of the people taking control away from their greased palms isnt going to stop... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ride172 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Who cares if this forum is about "trucks"... The pub is for anything... There are threads here about the stupidest crap, like facial hair and girlfriend pictures... No one said to them, "hey this is a forum about "trucks"".... Jim wasn't pushing a point if view, he was simply asking if anybody heard about it.... In my reply I was simply stating that politicians need to listen to the people not stacks of money...

People are passionate about their beliefs. Me personally, I think dems and reps are crazy.

JeepcoMJ Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Agreed. All politicians suck. Moving on, when did being a politician become a career rather than a self obligated duty to your country? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carnuck Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I saw one side screaming about the other putting $300,000 into the battle, while they were writing a personal check for $250,000 themselves. Pot, meet kettle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimoshel Posted September 12, 2013 Author Share Posted September 12, 2013 Just a run down to show what the little guy can do,WHEN HE WANTS TO. The Senator group received over 1.2 million dollars in donations, $500,000 of that from two billionaire donors. The recall received less than $70,000 in donations. The In Crowd had an entire staff being paid salaries. There was not one paid nobody on the recall crowd. 100% all volunteers. The In Crowd had several advisers from Chicago and Wash DC. The recall group was 100% local. Not one outsider. Just for your information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ride172 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 The recall in Pueblo was started by a working class tradesman and his friends... They had never participated in anything political, they just decided to act and stand up for themselves... He claims he didn't receive any NRA money and won by 20 pts... His opposition was well financed and even had Bill Clinton doing prerecorded phone calls for her... The will of the people won when they stood together.... Say it together now, "I WILL NOT COMPLY" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But voter turn our was very low, so the enthusiastic few turned out and most of the potential voters stay home. Sadly, a common story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
