The
opportunity which now presents itself with the recall election of State Senator
John Morse is historic. More than any
event in recent Colorado history, this moment has come about because of the
hard, diligent work of so many ordinary citizens who, like our founding
fathers, found themselves disenfranchised by a political leader who arrogantly
chose not to listen to those he claimed to represent. These citizens stepped up to protect
freedom. Now they look to you for
leadership.
Through
the hard work, sweat and selfless sacrifice of these citizens who labored to
gather these signatures, we stand at this historic moment where a sitting
Colorado State Senator may, for the first time, be recalled from office and the
citizens can and will once again self-govern.
Because
this moment is bigger than any one of us and because we continue to lose our
rights as citizens, we step forward today and ask you to sacrifice in the same
way that so many in our community already have to get us to this point.
We can
only have one Republican candidate on the ballot to replace Senator John
Morse. In fact, Senator Morse's greatest
hope is that he can continue to split our community and that somehow he can
preserve his own political hide by the usual divide and conquer strategy. His plan is to use previous divisions in our
party and the egos of our candidates as his greatest weapon. We are here to say no more.
We
implore you to agree to participate in a process which will allow for a single
Republican candidate on the ballot. We
ask that the duly elected Republican Central Committee of Senate District 11
decide which candidate shall be the best candidate to face the Democrat (likely
anti-freedom liberal Michael Merrifield) in the recall election. We are not asking that you put your fate in
the hands of the Chair of the party - but in the most grassroots organization
available. We further implore you to
commit that you will respect that process, abide by the decision of the SD11
Central Committee and wholeheartedly endorse and campaign for the candidate who
makes it through that process.
This
election is not about you. It is not
about us. It is about free people
governing themselves. It is about the
restoration of our rights as citizens and our ability to govern ourselves as
free men and women. When our political
leaders choose to ignore us, we have no choice but to band together, sacrifice
and throw off the chains that bind us.
As
leaders of the conservative movement in Colorado, we understand the magnitude
of the moment and we are stepping forward to be leaders that are taking a
stand. Nothing in this recall is more
important than replacing John Morse with a Senator that will respect our rights
as citizens. We implore you to lead and
to make that same choice. We've elected
self-serving politicians like John Morse before. We need you to be different and lead.
Sincerely,
Congressman Doug Lamborn

Is there a place for CO residents to sign as well? I'll put my name on that.
