With all the negative attention on Rocky Mountain Gun Owners of late, you'd think the outfit might want to hide its name when it attempts to influence voters. On the other hand, RMGO isn't known to care about what normal people think.
It appears, though, RMGO has actually gotten the message that its RMGO name scares people. Instead of simply using its independent expenditure committee "RMGO SUPERPAC" to oppose at least one state senate candidate, RMGO is sending money to do so to an entity called "Colorado Liberty PAC."
Exactly $55,000 of the $60,000 donated to Colorado Liberty PAC comes from RMGO, according to campaign finance records. (The other $5,000 came from the "Colorado Tea Party.")
And the designated filing agent for Colorado Liberty PAC is Joseph Neville, who runs RMGO in Colorado and serves as its notorious lobbyist here. So RMGO apparently controls Colorado Liberty PAC. Neville did not return an email seeking comment.
In turn, Colorado Liberty PAC is sending mailers attacking SD 22 candidate Andy Kerr, who's Jeffco district is populated by people whom, RMGO has apparently concluded, don't like the RMGO brand.
See a Colorado Liberty PAC mailer attacking Andy Kerr 10-2014.

Gee, I can't imagine why anyone would give pause at being associated with Dudley's strutting goose-steppers . . .
. . . including Dudley, and his strutting goose-steppers???
The combative hubris of RMGO is stunning….
RMGO is counter-suing Colorado Ethics Watch, after CEW nailed RMGO for undisclosed contributions to Colorado Senate candidates.
RMGO is apparently betting on a friendly Secretary of State (Williams), as there isn't any way Joe Neguse would put up with undermining Colorado campaign finance disclosures.
Someone really should write a diary on the RMGO vs Colorado Ethics Watch battle…..
Let's hope it goes to court. If you've never seen RMGO's crackerjack legal team (aka Shawn Mitchell) channel it's full Clarence B Darrow glory, you're in for endless guffaws!!!
