2. Has the state fixed the issue with deadlines that plagued the Morse recall?

   1. I believe that they have fixed those issues in SB14-158, which was signed by the Governor and is law. The gum-up was with the issue of successor candidates if the officials are recalled….Marilyn Marks cooked up a scheme in which some Libertarians and a DINO (Richard Anglund) were able to petition onto the special recall election ballot, throwing off the dates so that mail in ballots could not be used (because there wasn't enough time to get the mail in ballots back from the overseas military voters).

      I haven't read the whole bill in detail to see if these particular issues were fixed, but I think that they were. Also, Colorado was successful in expanding voting rules so  military voters can  email/fax in their voted ballots, which again Marilyn Marks tried to derail, (and Fox News did a hysterical interview with Wayne Williams about)  is still law, so that shouldn't screw things up again.

3. Easiest 45 signatures I've ever collected.  It was cathartic for people.  They came grinning from ear to ear and left thankful for the opportunity.  The best were those who admitted their buyer's remorse, and there were many of them.

   I've said it before, this clown club could have accomplished so much of their agenda had they politely and quietly gone about their business.  Instead they have managed to piss off everyone, Dems and Repubs, parents and teachers, and most disgustingly, the students themselves.  No organizer could have ever brought together the coalition that these clowns have brought against themselves,  

   One would be remiss not thanking Julie Williams, she has brought a whole new level of the stupid to the table and was overwhelmingly the favorite petition to sign for so many.

   1. The interest level and swift collection of requisite signatures is certainly encouraging. Looking forward to viewing the show down from a distance.

4. Hey CheeseheadBurger, where are you?  Why aren't you telling us these folks on the Jeffco School Board got elected by a landslide and the recalls are unAmerican, or whatever it was you were babbling?

   1. Dear Ex Lurker: are you really that dumb, or just imitating something similar, like a teabagger (given that I believe in civility, that's the hardest anyone will hear from me)? Again, the truth be told: margins of victory in 2013 for the Witt 3:

      Williams 61% to 38.9%  (that's 22 points)   Witt:  58.1% to 41.8%  (16+ points); Newkirk 53.9% to 46%  (7.9 points).  From any kind of overview at all, two landslides and one nearly so.

      Kindly show me where I said the recalls were unAmerican. A careful check of the record will find that you are wrong. You might also consider that getting signatures is one thing (I have yet to see a single signature collector in the retail/commercial areas in my part of Lakewood). Actually winning elections is something totally different. Best that you save your crowing and bragging until after election day. And who knows? If there are candidates against the 3 who actually want to do something beyond a return to the bad old days (Amendment 66 anyone? Lost by 30 points), they might get my vote instead of the Witt 3.   Regards,   C.H.B.

5. Signatures probably shouldn't be submitted before August 5, just in case Faye Griffin decides to go out in a blaze of glory and certifies the signatures early just to screw over the recall.
