GOP seeks candidates to challenge Morse on potential recall ballot

Jeff Hays speaks out about the recall effort in El Paso County in the Gazette:

GOP seeks candidates to challenge Morse on potential recall ballot
Published: June 4, 2013, 1:27 pm, by Megan Schrader
Jeff Hays, chairman of the El Paso County GOP, said Tuesday the Republican Party is actively engaged in finding candidates to challenge Senate President John Morse, D-Colorado Springs, should his name appear on a recall ballot.
"I think it’s too early to talk specific names,” Hays said."There are some people who have said they are interested.”

Hays said the precinct leaders from Senate District 11 will meet to discuss the issue.

More than 16,000 signatures were submitted to the Secretary of State’s Office on Monday, and if almost 7,200 of those are registered voters from Senate District 11, Morse will face a recall election. Morse has said he’s skeptical that the petition gatherers did their due diligence to make sure signers were from his district.

That election will likely be sometime after September if the signatures are valid, but when depends on how long the issue is drawn out in court.

Voters in Senate District 11 – southwestern Colorado Springs – will be asked if Morse should be removed from office and if so, who should replace him. Candidates can get their name on the ballot by collecting 1,000 signatures.
"I think you need to have somebody that’s an attractive alternative to the type of legislator that Sen. Morse has been,” Hays said."Someone who is willing to listen to constituents, willing to fight for the people in his district.”

Colorado GOP calls for investigation into IRS, Obama Administration’s targeting of conservative groups

GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo.—On Friday the Internal Revenue Service has been inappropriately targeting conservative organizations whose opinions may differ from Pres. Obama’s.

Colorado Republican Committee Chairman Ryan Call released the following statement regarding the dangerous actions taken by the Obama Administration and the IRS--

"The Obama Administration is using the power of the IRS to target and silence Americans with dissenting opinions. These suppression techniques have no place in a democracy. They are beyond reprehensible; they’re dangerous.

"Every member of Colorado’s Congressional delegation, especially Sen. Mark Udall, must immediately make a public statement against the actions taken by the Obama Administration and the Internal Revenue Service. They must also call for and support a thorough investigation of the actions taken against conservative groups.

"Chief Justice John Marshall famously observed that 'the power to tax involves the power to destroy.' Every American should be concerned when the federal government decides to use the taxing power of the IRS in an attempt to target and destroy political opponents."

Morse and Michael Bloomberg

State Senator John Morse is apparently so desperate for approving constituents, he's going outside of Colorado to find them: Namely, leftist radicals like Michael Bloomberg. We deserve better.
