I could almost swear that I saw a pop-up "ad" that showed Mr. Obama as a puppet master and Hickenlooper as the puppet.  Someone is being funny at the Denver Post?

This message was relayed from Sheriff Terry Maketa from El Paso County:

"Press Conference April 3, 2013

Tomorrow will be a busy day.  I have been advised citizens are planning a bus trip to the Capitol to express their concerns over the "gun bills," that have been ramrodded through the legislative process.  I for one applaud your efforts and thank you for the exercising of your First Amendment right and taking the initiative to be heard.    Sheriffs from around the state were planning to hold a press conference at the Capitol tomorrow around 1:00pm, however, that press conference has been moved to Thomas Memorial Park, at 2400 North Quebec Street.  All are welcome to attend that event.  It's my understanding it is not far from the Capitol.  I will be attempting to also make an appearance at the Capitol to support our citizens and if the opportunity presents itself I will be happy to speak and share some of my thoughts.  I'm hoping to be at the Capitol around noon.  I would be honored to have the opportunity to say hello and thank you for stepping up and being heard.   What's being done to our rights is wrong and misleading and as I have said, I can not, and will not, stand by in silence.  The rights of law abiding citizens should never be compromised or infringed.  Especially while puppet law makers are hard at work extending breaks and granting more rights to criminals who have proven to be a threat to society.   The unalienable rights of every man and woman should not be in  jeopardy or subjected to attack from government because of the failure of government to protect its citizens.  These rights are not granted by government through the US Constitution or the Colorado Constitution.  They are protections from government and its agenda driven quest for more control and power at the expense of our freedoms."

Listening to a late delayed broadcast of the Tuesday Mark Levin radio show and a caller from Colorado Springs called in and asked for people in Colorado to be at the Colorado capitol at 10:00 a.m. 

 

Not sure I caught the purpose or group.

From Sheriff Justin Smith's Facebook message:

"Several Colorado Sheriffs will be countering the president's Denver campaign stop tomorrow. We will be at Thomas Memorial Park at 2400 N. Quebec St. in Denver tomorrow at 1 p.m. with our own press event- presenting the truth about the overreaching Obama Gun Control laws that Governor Hickenlooper recently signed.

If Senator Morse and his cronies thought Sheriffs would cave when he held their pay hostage, he miscalculated yet again."
