Dear Neighbor,

The right wing is going off the rails in Colorado. Are you ready to
fight back?

Earlier this week, Republican Sen. Vicki Marble of Fort Collins
shocked the entire room in a poverty reduction hearing, launching into
a rambling speech about "problems in the black race" with
diet and health, even though "everybody loves" chicken and
barbeque "down south." She then discussed how
"Mexicans in Mexico" are "much thinner down there than
they are up here." As of this writing, Sen. Marble has refused to
apologize despite growing nationwide outrage over her blatantly racist
remarks--telling a reporter "I went there because somebody had
to start the dialogue." [1]

And here's the real shocker: the same people who brought you
Sen. Vicki Marble are promoting the radical, wasteful recalls of two
Colorado Senators--whose only offense was doing their jobs.

In 2012, Sen. Marble defeated a moderate Republican in a bitter
primary with help from the Rocky Mountain Gun Owners--the same
extremist pro-gun group running TV ads against Senate President John
Morse today in the recall elections. [2] In recent years, the
influence of groups like RMGO has pulled the Colorado Republican Party
farther and farther to the right, and Sen. Vicki Marble is a perfect
example of the consequences.

Enough is enough. Sign our pledge, hosted by our partners at
MoveOn.org, to reject the influence of RMGO and the radical right in
Colorado--from Sen. Vicki Marble's racist babble to the radical,
wasteful recalls in Colorado Springs and Pueblo.

In only two and a half weeks, Colorado faces a test: are we a state
that elects disgraces like Vicki Marble while recalling good public
servants and community leaders, or are we better than that?

Sign our pledge: show everyone that Sen. Marble and the extremists
pushing these recalls do not speak for Colorado. We'll be in
touch with more ways to take action in the critical weeks ahead.
