This is an update on the Evie Hudak recall. On October 20, 2013 we sent out a CAIRCO update onColorado Senator Evie Hudak's voting record on illegal immigration. We noted that:

1. Hudak voted for instate tuition for illegal aliens this last 2013 Colorado legislative session . 2. Hudak sponsored and voted for drivers licenses for illegal aliens . 3. Hudak voted for the Colorado law enforcement (dis)trust act that repeals 2006 legislation that made sure

local government did not restrain law enforcement and public employees from cooperating with Federalimmigration enforcement.

We mentioned you might want to ask friends and family in Senate District 19 to consider signing the petitionto recall Hudak.

The Evie Hudak recall campaign has half of the signatures they need and with a month left to go. Thissuccess has brought about harassment of petition signers and volunteers. The opposition to the recall is:

- Blocking people from getting out of their cars. - Parking in front of people so they can't leave after signing the petition.

- Yelling obscenities at people, usually the elderly and women, who are trying to sign. - Blasting bullhorns at the volunteers at close range - hurts your ears! - Putting out door hangers and robo-calls that insinuate that the petition gatherers could be criminals andchild molesters. - Taking lots of video and photos of license plates and of volunteers trying to scare them. - Sticking cameras right in the face of the volunteers

For more information, see the blog post Should Evie Hudak be recalled for her votes supporting illegalimmigration? , which includes references to recent articles on this offensive behavior.

The recall effort could use your help. They need:

- Petition gatherers to cover more areas. - Volunteers to make phone calls. - Sign wavers. - Photographers and videographers to capture protester behavior.

The Recall Hudak office is at 64th and Simms in Arvada. Address: 11651 West 64th Ave, Suite E1, Arvada, CO 80004

This is an opportunity to change the Colorado state legislature to reduce bias in favor of illegal aliens.Consider taking time to volunteer.

Please note that CAIRCO is in no way affiliated with this or with any other recall campaign. We do,

however, hold our elected public servants accountable for their actions on the immigration issue.

Another election is pretty much in the bag and while there is atleast one race undecided, winners and losers have mostly been determined. Analysis does show perhaps afew disappointing outcomes but all-in-all, statewide and local outcomes were satisfactory.

Colorado Amendment 66: The billion dollar a year tax hike backed by unions, out of state interests andGov. John Hickenlooperwent down in flames. Voters once again demonstrated that they have no stomach forthrowing good money after bad in an attempt to fix a broken education system without truly meaningfulreform. The outcome on this measure coupled with the high profile school board elections across the stateshould put liberals and unions on notice that parents expect more from the education system. Sadly theywon’t get it.

Colorado Proposition AA: I ignored this issue leading up to the election. Quite frankly I abhor the factthat Coloradans approved the so-called legalization of marijuana two years ago. Increasing access to illegaldrugs and then screaming NIMBY when these places setup shop in your neighborhood shows how ignorantvoters can be. As for this tax, I am fine with it although I would have made it much, much higher.

Thornton City Council: Retreads Mack Goodman (Ward I) and Val Vigil (Ward II) were reelected, a very un-noteworthy accomplishment since they ran opposed. Sam Nizam will be taking the seat in Ward III, largelybecause he essentially had no opponent beyond a write- in candidate who didn’t campaign. In Ward IV,

Jan Kulmann delivered a massive slap down of union-backed Adam Matkowsky and will replace Randy Drennenon the dais. Kulmann will provide a much-needed counter to the leftists on council and Matkowsky can nowfeel free to move on to whatever his next job / location will be.

Adams 2 Five Star Schools Board of Education: Rico Figueroa will retain the district 4 seat after union-backedAmy Speers was booted off the ballot due to her illegal entry into the race. The race for School DirectorDistrict No. 3 is still up in the air with Kathy Plomer currently leading Debbie Christensen by 784votes. However, Adams Countyreports that there are 8,000 ballots left to count so there is still a glimmer ofhope that Christensen can knock off union patsy Plomer.

Thornton Ballot Issue 2B: Voters approved an extension of the open space / parks and rec tax. This is goodnews for the community.

Thornton Ballot Issue 2C: Once again voters knocked down self- serving politicians’ desire to have a ‘seat forlife’ on city council. Council term limits will stay at two terms as they should. Future councilmembers woulddo well to remember this is the second time we have told them no – don’t try again.

Thornton Ballot Issue 2D: One young, noisy Thornton resident thankfully failed to get his way and age limitsfor city council will remain as-is.

Thornton Ballot Issue 2E: Voters went ahead and bailed out council and their inability to perform their jobunder previous provisions of the city charter in the event of a mayoral vacancy. With this measure passed, thebattles forMayor Pro Tem are going to become highly contentious and should a vacancy occur, council will beone person short of a full body until the next election cycle.

Thornton Ballot Issue 2F: The commonsense measure to handle continuity of government in the event of adisaster passed with ease.

Thornton Ballot Issue 2G: Unions were given more members within the fire department ranks by the votersdue to the expansion of the definition of ‘fire fighter.’ This is disappointing. Voters don’t often understandthe repercussions of issues like this unless they do some research.

Note: As mentioned above, Adams County still has thousands of votes left to count. The conclusions reachedabove on the local races are based on tallies as of Wednesday morning and while any of the outcomes couldchange as the balance of ballots are counted, it seems unlikely (other than the one school board race). It isdisappointing that yet again our clerk and recorder has failed to provide timely results from an election.

Steve House , a healthcare consultant from Brighton, will announce his candidacy for governor Monday

I see a technology revolution coming that will best beserved in states that have three advantages going for them: An agricultural base, abundant and productivenatural resources, and a highly educated population,” House, who is the Adams County GOP chairman,said in a statement. “Colorado has all three of these advantages and with the right leadership in place anda streamlined government we can be a leader.”

WHO’S FUNDING HUDAK DEFENDERS’ SCARE TAC TICS?

We’re not quite sure, that’s who.

Complete Colorado reported Friday on another attempt to scare Jefferson County residents awayfrom signing recall petitions for State Senator Evie Hudak (D). ”Democracy Defense Fund,” whichhad previously been responsible for door-hangers claiming that signature-gatherers were criminals, isnow using robocalls for the same purpose.

A poster on the Grassroots Radio Facebook page found the TRACER record for the DemocracyDefense Fund, registered on October 10, 2013, for the purpose of opposing the SD19 recall. Whilethe principals for DDF are local to Colorado, the Fund’s entire $25,000 bankroll came on an October18 donation from a group named Environmental Majority , out ofWashington, DC.The PAC is expressly partisan, and solely focused on elections.

The $25,000 expenditure represents more than it had spent in the 2014 cycle up to this point. Notmore than it had spent on specific races. More than it had spent, period.

The PAC reported receipts of roughly $29,000 in the first half of the year, about $23,600 camethrough the site ActBlue, which serves as a small-donor platform for progressive and Democratcauses, sort of a partisan Piryx. Of the $21,000 spent, about $9300 went to the Massachusetts

special Senate election to replace John Kerry; just under $6000 went to the New Virginia PAC, othermoney went to various Democrat digital consulting firms. Small Potatoes.

Yet, with just over $8000 cash on hand reported at the end of June 2013, the Fund found $25,000 forscare-robocalls and scare-door-hangers in the Hudak recall race. Admittedly, Hudak has a 100%Lifetime rating from the Colorado Conservation Voters . But still, she’s a state senator, not aCongressman or a US Senator, and Environmental Majority states:Our objective is straightforward: elect a pro-environment Democratic majority in the United StatesCongress and raise the political importance of environmental issues, especially climate change.

It appears that the decision to funnel the money through Environmental Majority, rather thanimmediately through Democracy Defense Fund, may have been deliberately made in order to avoiddisclosure until after the signature-gathering period ended. DDF has already been fined $50 for beinglate on one reporting deadline, but according to TRACER, their next filing would be due November25. The Hudak recall effort has until December 2 to turn in its petitions.Since 2013 is an odd-numbered year, it appears that the FEC will only require Environmental Majorityto file a new report by January 31 of next year, well after the Hudak signatures have been gathered orhaven’t been. This means that we may well not kno w who’s been funding the scare tactics thatHudak’s defenders have been using until the issue of there being a recall election at all is settled.

UPDATE: Colorado Observer notes that Environmental Majority has also given $5000 to Stand WithEvie.

Nasty Politics

Evie Hudak is my representative in the Colorado Senate. I’ve voted against her in every election since I moved

here. Her campaign literature always seems to be depend on scare tactics and misleading information about her

opponents. Unfortunately, it’s worked for her.

She made news earlier this year when she blew off a rape victim’s testimony in opposition to a gun control bill(one of several that were passed this year).

There was an attempt to recall her earlier, but it didn’t succeed. Recalls against two other legislators were

succe ssful. There’s now a second recall effort against her. I signed the petition both times, and talked with one

of the signature gatherers this time around. He said that they’d learned from the successful recall efforts, in

that they were gathering phone numbers or emails as well as name and address this time, and they had liquid-

proof cover sheets on the clipboards this time. Apparently, without contact information the first time, they were

unable to verify a large number of signatures challenged by Hudak’s p eople, and the cover sheets were to

prevent people from walking up and “accidentally” spilling coffee on the signature sheets.

Tonight, I came home to find a flyer hung on my doorknob. It doesn’t mention Hudak by name, but it’s the sort

of scare tactic I associate with her.

Here’s the text of the flyer (any commentary I have will be in italics ):

PUBLIC AWARENESS ALERT

Signature gatherers who have not gone through background checks could be in our neighborhood – as soon as

tomorrow – asking us to sign a recall petition.

DO NOT SIGN THE PETITION

The petition gatherer at your door, asking for your personal information, could have a criminal record.

And, if you sign the petition, your signature and personal information will become public record, available for

anyone to access. Because they have to be filed with the Colorado Secretary of State. If you own real property,

your personal information is already public record.

Don’t Give This Company Your Personal Information. Don’t Sign The Recall Petition . I like how theycharacterize the recall effort as a company. Makes it sound like an evil big business. They do this more than

once.

TO REPORT ANY CASES OF FRAUD, PLEASE CALL 720-588-8496 Here, they’re characterizing signing a recall

petition as being defrauded.

(End of that side of the flyer)

8/14/2019 NSRF November 2013 Newsletter.docx

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/nsrf-november-2013-newsletterdocx 14/27

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE COMPANY BEHIND THE RECALL PETITIONS

* History of hiring petition gatherers with a criminal history, including sexual assault on a child

* History of fraud and forgery allegations in other petition gathering efforts in Colorado Anyone

can allege fraud and forgery, and I understand it’s not unheard-of for people to try to disqualify signatures on

petitions by challenging them in this manner.

* History of paying people who leave the state after they have your personal information Democrats have been

known to use hired petition gatherers, also . If they’re from out of state, as they sometimes are, of course they’ll

leave once the petition drive is over. This makes it sound as though the petition gatherers themselves will be

taking your personal information with them when they leave.

Don’t Give This Company Your Personal Information. Don’t Sign The Recall Petition . Again, implying

that the recall effort is a “company” that will retain your personal information.

TO REPORT ANY CASES OF FRAUD, PLEASE CALL 720-588-8496

That’s most of the text from the flyer. The rest is the “fine print”: on the first side, it says “Paid for by the

Democracy Defense Fund,” which has no web presence I can find, and when I search on the phone number, I’m

told that it is not an assigned number. The Denver Post (in the article I linked earlier) says that there was no

answer when they called them. On the second side, it has five media references (newpaper name and date or

radio station call sign and date). There are no article titles or links to websites on the flyer.

I’ve searched the Denver Post’s archives, and found either a political article or a letter to the editor on three of

the four dates, but only one actual article appeared to reference a recall effort, and I’m not willing to sign up for

a Denver Post account and pay $2.95 per article to examine these articles, so I don’t know what they’re

referencing in those articles.

I hope the recall effort gets enough signatures to go through, but tactics like this work, and they’re what I

expect from Evie Hudak.

If you liked ObamaCare, You'll Love ObamaCar!

In an effort to win back the hearts of the American People, the White House today announced its support of thenew ObamaCar program.

"Too many Americans are driving substandard cars," said White House Spokesperson Jay Carney during

today's press briefing. "In fact, there are a lot of Americans who don't even have cars. That is why the President, by executive order, has initiated the ObamaCar Program."

The new program will see that all Americans, regardless of age, place of residence, or occupation will berequired to purchase a vehicle suitable to meet the standards mandated by ObamaCar.

However, Carney was quick to point out that this did not mean that anyone would be forced to give up theirfavorite ride.

"If you like the car you are driving now, you can keep your car. Period." Carney read from a prepared statement by President Obama. "Nobody is going to take it away from you. Period."

Carney said this means that nobody will be required to purchase a vehicle they do not want or need. Ever. Aslong as your current vehicle meets ObamaCar standard features, you can drive it as long as you like. Unless themanufacturer decides to recall it.

"But if that happens, don't blame us," Carney said. "That's the free market at work, that's capitalism, at leasthow we define capitalism, in action. We didn't do that to you."

He went on to state that all auto manufactures will be required to produce only ObamaCar-compliant vehicles.

1 Participate in town meetings. Mingle with local, state and federal politicians. Learn about the issuesfacing your community. Meet others who support the same causes you do. Voice your opinion and see

what offices in politics appeal to you.

2 Show your support of the political system by voting in every election. More importantly, bring others tothe polls with you. Talk about the issues with people and inspire them to let their opinions be heardthrough their votes .

3 Help out at a local political office. It doesn't matter if you are a Republican, Democrat or a member ofthe Green Party, all political parties need volunteers. Work one on one with them and learn the politicalprocess. Network with others involved in local politics. Get in on the ground floor and learn the ropes.Look into volunteering for organizations who promote causes like the environment, health care, campaignfinance or immigration reform .

4 Start your own political organization. Whether it's a local off-shoot of a nationwide campaign or it'sspecific to a cause no one has addressed politically, get it going. Involve your friends and family. Haverallies, fundraisers, seminars or even a bowling night. The idea is to spread your passion for the cause andget others to join you.

5 Start a petition on the Internet. Instead of knocking on doors or stopping people at the mall, get peopleinvolved with an online petition. Involve yourself in online political blogs. Post your opinions and getothers to join in with you.

6 Put yourself out there and run for local office. Civic offices come up for re-election all the time. Find aposition you know you could excel in and start your campaign. Call your local political party and ask ifthere are offices up for election. Take to the streets and let people know you are the person for the job.

How to Get Involved in the Republican PartyThere are a variety of reasons to get involved in the efforts of the Republican Party. You might believe ingun rights, be pro-life, or wish for fewer taxes. Of course, you may simply think that the Democratic

Party’s choices for candidates at the presidential, senatorial, or congressional level are not the bestchoices. There are any number of reasons and issues to get involved with the Republican Party, so whenyou are ready to join, follow these steps.

.

1 Have a valid voter registration card and if you don’t have one, get one. If you feel strongly about thisparty and their beliefs, register as a Republican. However you don’t have to register as a Republican if youdon't want to. You can register as an NPA, (no party affiliation) as an Independent or even a Democrat.

2 Do as much research as possible on the Republican Party. Make sure that the issues the partyrepresents are issues that you believe in and that the candidates representing the party are people youhold in high regard.

3 You may wish to support a particular candidate for local government, or state government or you may want to support Republican candidates for the U.S. Senate , or Congress and perhaps even the Republican

Party’s presidential candidate. Once you have figured out at what level you wish to participate, contact theappropriate party office and ask how you can get more involved.

4 When you contact the appropriate party office, make sure you have a plan for how you want to beinvolved in the Republican Party. Your involvement could be as simple as making a donation, or you could

volunteer your time by handing out literature or manning a phone at a call center. Most people involved inthe Republican Party are volunteers. You may wish to become some sort of aid or spokesperson for aparticular candidate as well, but these positions are usually staffed by people close to the candidate. Thesepositions usually require some sort of education in politics, law or the media.

5 Joining a Republican state party might be just the ticket for you. You can volunteer to answer phones,pass out literature, or something as simple as making a donation. This is all that is required to join yourstate's Republican party. Also, your Republican state party will deal with issues in your state that may becloser to your areas of interest.

6 Join the Republican National Committee. You can go right to their website and enter in yourinformation (see Resources). Tell them a little bit about yourself and what you would like to do for theirorganization. You may want to become a volunteer or even take a job with the Republican NationalCommittee.
