Hudak recall organizers "could not be more thankful" to Dudley Brown

Yesterday, Fox 31 Denver reported that GOP Chairman Ryan Call doesn't support the latest recall effort against Democratic Senator Evie Hudak, saying the recall could "undermine" Republican efforts to win elections next year.

But Fox 31 didn't report who is backing the Hudak recall effort. That would be Dudley Brown, Director of Rocky Mountain Gun Owners, according to the RMGO website as well as Laura Waters and Mike McAlpine, who are apparently leading the petition-gathering effort.

On Peter Boyles' KNUS morning show today, Waters and McAlpine thanked Brown for his in-kind support. They also said they did not vote for Ryan Call when he ran for GOP State Chair:

Laura Waters: I want to say a big shout out to Dudley Brown and the Rocky Mountain Gun Owners.

Boyles: Oh, he's our guy. We love Dudley.

Waters: Those guys have come alongside us. They are helping us by mobilizing their members and getting the message out that we need volunteers. And we could not be more thankful to Dudley and his group…

Mike McAlpine: I gotta echo what Laura says. Nobody is as tall as man who stands on principle, and that's Dudley Brown. He is a rock star….

Boyles: By the way, who voted for Ryan Call to become the head of the GOP?

McAlpine: I'm looking around the room, no one is raising their hand, Peter.

Boyles: And what about you [to Waters]? Nobody's hand is up.

McAlpine: [laughing]

Boyles: How did this guy get this gig?

    1. Wow!

      I'd be interested in knowing how life for them would be if all their Somalian style anti government ideas were actually implemented.

      All his carreer, boyles has had the luxury of screaming for chaos that up to now he knew adults in government would prevent.

      Should this crazy bunch he now supports actually sieze power, that luxury will undeniably turn to palpable fear……..of the same types he has championed.

  1. As a resident of SD-1and constituent of Brophy, now endorsed by RMGO in his gubernatorial aspirations, I'm very interested in his position on this recall.  If they're successful in recalling Senator Hudak – the majority of the state Senate would flip – and I assume Brophy would be the most serious contender for Senate President?  A seductive proposition for any politician.  But, the chance of appearing as though you've supported, what a general election voter in a state-wide race may view as an over-reach, must surely be giving him pause.

    1. Given that Bill Cadman is the senate minority leader, my guess is that he'd be more likely to be the next senate president rather than Brophy. As a rule, people who are running for higher office (see Waller, Mark) don't take on major leadership positions; they're more likely to step down from those positions.

    1. Dog barking, keeping me up. So I'll respond to Cook here, re the supposed scandal about Senator Hudak's social media use.

      Senator Hudak was using social media to communicate with constituents, and she did post and tweet quite a bit, but almost all on legislative topics. I'm one of her 2,186 FB friends.

      Now, she's shut down all social media contact with her constituents, doesn't send out anything at all. Too bad, really.  Hers were definitely more informative than say, those of Amy Stephens:

      Rep. Amy Stephens @Amy_Stephens 3 Oct

      A great day for liberty, the swearing-in of Senators Herpin & Rivera!

      Kent Lambert @KentLambert 8 Oct

      MT @ColoradoForKopp: Enjoyed visiting folks @ Liberty Arms in Fort Collins. Must repeal legislature's new gun laws.

      Like Minority leader, Mark Waller, who also tweets quite a bit, most of which are legislation-related, and some of which are not: Mark Waller @Rep_Waller 4 Oct

      Just picked 5 gallons of tomatos in anticipation of the freeze tonight. I guess its time to start focusing on the upcoming #coleg session.

      Waller told CBS news in their "expose" of Hudak: "Everyone tweets."

      We live in an age when people expect instant updates. Legislators tweet, and their tweets are followed, by reporters, constituents,  and the randomly curious. That's how it is.

      Colorado Peak politics distorted what Hudak did put out those 2 days of the legislative hearings. However, anyone can look it up.

      What she put out on Sept 26 and  27 was an update on Colorado ACA,retweeeted Vote Yes on 66, another ACA update, a teacher article, the "Yoga advice". She also tweeted 18 times during both days, 6 of them on the judiciary-related hearing topics, 6 on education related topics including legislative topics and a book whose author she introduced at a PTA board meeting, Between Sept 26 and 27, 18 tweets –  6 on prisons /judiciary topics, 3 on ACA / health reform, 6 on education issues, (4 of these were legislation-related) 1 LGBT responding to Sen. Lambert,  and 1 completely extraneous “water on mars” tweet. 

      Women legislators are definitely being targeted more post-recalls, by the gun lobby. Here's an interesting article on it.
