Kerry Donovan and Rep. Julie McCluskie summoned voters to a \u201ctown hall\u201d in Hotchkiss (Delta County) to discuss the pending \u201cRed Flag\u201d gun bill, knowing the bait of this hot topic would attract a throng.

No. Instead, a purported legislator from (of course) California prattled for over an hour, arguing against common sense that the National Popular Vote Compact (NPVC) is good for rural Coloradans.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">These are our state representatives. They think Coloradans are imbeciles. They think we appreciate their deception, camouflaging their reeducation camp as a town hall on another subject. They think we should defer our national election decisions to California. Why not include carpetbaggers from New York, Illinois, Oregon, Washington and Massachusetts so there\u2019d be a representative from each of the states that would control presidential elections under the NPVC?<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Senator and representative, are you women enough to face a real town hall on the Red Flag bill?<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Maurice Emmer<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND Letter Title\">Aspen<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aspentimes.com\/opinion\/letters-to-the-editor\/liberal-lawmakers-deceive-coloradoans\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: The Aspen Times<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not satisfied with holding the Colorado House, Senate and governor\u2019s mansion; not satisfied with majorities that enact every far-left hobbyhorse imaginable; now Colorado legislators \u201creeducate\u201d the unwashed, knuckle-dragging rubes of Colorado, using \u201cbait and switch\u201d carpetbaggers.
