Petition to recall Senator Hudak of CO - please help!

[ClangClang]

There is now a Colorado Recall effort against State Senator Hudak.

http://www.recallhudaktoo.org

This comes only 1 short month after the successful campaigns to recall Senators Morse and Giron, also of CO, who showed a blatant disregard for the will of their constituents over numerous pieces of legislation including a ban on standard capacity magazines and introducing a state limit of 15 rounds.  I have no connection to the recall effort whatsoever.  I don't even live in CO but I still made a donation.  After recalling TWO anti-gun senators in CO earlier this year, adding a 3rd to the list would be a major hat-trick and proof that the will of the people is on our side.  This fight is crucially important to the preservation of the 2nd amendment.

Oct 2007 Amanda Collins was raped at gun point in the gun-free U Nevada-Reno parking garage, 50 feet from the campus police dept. office. Her assailant, James Biela, later raped at least two other women and murdered another. Collins had a carry permit for self defense but had complied with university gun policy and left her gun home. Her rapist did not. "Had I been carrying that night, two other rapes would have been prevented and a young life would have been saved."

Mar 2013 Amanda testified before the Colorado legislature for the right of gun permit holders to carry on campus. Colorado Democrat Sen. Evie Hudak told her that "statistics are not on your side." That guns are useless for self defense.¹

The problem with Hudak's statement is that even the federal NCVS victim survey statistics show that victims who resist (especially with guns) fare better than victims who submit. (NCVS uses screening questions so that only self-identified victims are eventually asked if they defended themselves and tends to under-report self-defense especially with guns.)

When her comments became a controversy Evie Hudak claimed the stats were: "The Colorado Coalition Against Gun Violence says that for every one woman who used a handgun to kill someone in self-defense, 83 were murdered by them."²

Notice that is not for 84 women who used a gun in self-defense, 83 were murdered with a gun. It is an apples to oranges comparison: women self-defenders who kill compared to women who were murdered with a gun. Unless Hudak wants to claim that all women who were murdered with a gun were defending themselves with a gun and were killed with their own gun.

PLEASE consider donating a couple bucks at the website above.

(Mods, I hope this falls within the rules here.  My apologies if there's a rule I missed that doesn't allow for this kind of post.)

I tried to donate but the site did not work.  What shall I do?

She is one of the most pernicious nasty repugnant women in Colorado politics.  She served on a statewide committee that I chaired and proved to be a solid socialist.  Please advise.
