Two Democrat Colorado State Senators Recalled - Amateurs Responsible

FYI: Gun rights advocates recalled two Democrat state senators on September 10th.  One of the senators was the President of the Colorado Senate, proving that grass roots organizations can be effective, even if they’re run by amateurs.

One of the best accounts of the winning effort has been written by Charles Cooke of National Review Online.

This passage from the article indicates the significance of what was accomplished  . . .

. . . This was the recall that was never supposed to happen — let alone be successful. The nine men who set the ball rolling weren’t supposed to be capable of organizing a town hall, let alone taking down the state-senate president. And yet they did it. Victor Head, a plumber who had never been politically active, took down a senator in a district that went Democratic in 2012 by ten points; a group of six concerned men from the AR15.com chat room removed the state’s top-ranking legislator. “We are a quiet people,” recall founder Tim Knight told his victorious friends when the results became known at the Stargazers Theater. “You may be tempted to ignore us. Clearly, that would be a mistake.”

What is it about plumbers? First, Joe the Plumber in Ohio and now Victor in Colorado. Evidently, because of their unique occupation, plumbers immediately recognize crap when they see it and then do something about it.
