Dear Friend,

Vote NO on the recall
I feel like I just recovered from the 2012 elections.

And here we go with another important election here in Colorado. This
time, a small group of far-right conservatives is trying to recall two
Colorado senators. Why? Because those two Senators voted in a way hard
right conservatives didn't like. 

Now we need progressives from across Colorado to stand up and defend
Senate President John Morse and Senator Angela Giron from these
unwarranted attacks.

John Morse has lived in Colorado Springs his whole life. There he has
given back to his community in many ways. Before serving in the
Colorado legislature, he served as a police officer and an emergency
medical technician.  

Angela Giron is from Pueblo and has worked for the Boys and Girls Club
of Pueblo for almost thirty years. Like Sen. Morse, Angela Giron has
done great work representing her district in Pueblo as a state
Senator. 

Unfortunately, both of these good people are under attack by a small
group of far-right conservatives trying to undo the democratic
process. They are using an underhanded recall to try and take out
Senate President John Morse and Senator Angela Giron. It's a wealthy
few trying to thwart the will of the people. They are funneling money
and lies into this recall attempt to punish good legislators--leaders
who get things done for the people of Colorado.

We can't let this happen. John Morse is a good man who has looked out
for everyone in Colorado Springs. Angela Giron has represented Pueblo
with distinction. Let's fight this recall and do the right thing for
John and for Angela. 

What can you do? The most important thing EVERYONE who lives in these
two districts can do is vote NO on the recall. Then make sure your
friends do too. You'll receive your ballot in the mail in a few weeks,
and you need to return it by Tuesday, September 10th.

If you don't live in Colorado Springs or Pueblo, there is still much
you can do to help. Tell everyone you know in these districts that
this recall election is critically important--tell them to vote NO on
the recall, and to get their ballots in by September 10th. Show your
support on Facebook and Twitter. Contact the campaigns to get
involved: A Whole Lot of People for John Morse, and Pueblo United for
Angela. And if you can--contribute.

Believe me, I wish there wasn't another big election coming up so soon
after the last one. The recall process exists to deal with legislators
who are corrupt or who have done something illegal, not so a
disgruntled few can force elections every time they disagree with a
vote. The only way to stop these costly and unnecessary recall
elections from becoming the norm is to stop them cold right
here. 

Thanks for doing your part to defend the gains we've made in Colorado
this year.

Sincerely,

Amy Runyon-Harms
