Dear Erick, Your action is needed right away to protect our free speech rights in Colorado. Please read the urgent email below and share it with your friends and family. In Liberty, Deb Wells  Dear Erick, The Communist rulers of the Soviet Union didn't arrest its citizens who protested the regime very often. They just declared them mentally ill and put them in special mental hospitals without trial. This was eerily similar to what happened to former US Marine Brandon Raub last year when he was taken into custody by federal officials. They put him in a psychiatric hospital for observation because of his Facebook post where he was critical of many government policies. Despite the fact that he had committed no crimes, he was held without trial for "psychological evaluation." Does the federal government want to have the power to do this in Colorado? When Sen. Kevin Lundberg asked the Secret Service why they needed "Peace Officer" powers in Colorado, the agent said "we need the ability to put somebody on a 72-hour mental health hold." And the General Assembly is about to hand that power to Federal Agents operating in Colorado. Colorado Senate Bill 13-013 has already passed the State Senate, and it gives the United States Secret Service or “Peace Officer” new sweeping powers to make arrests in the state. In reality, this bill is designed to give more authority to the Secret Service to curtail protests of federal government officials and bureaucrats who may be visiting the state. This so-called “Peace Officer” role has been gradually expanding into states across the country and is now being pushed right here in Colorado. It’s vital you contact your State Representative at 303-866-2904 today and urge them to vote AGAINST SB13-013. There’s no doubt that this needless and dangerous bill is being pushed on our state by outside powers, and it is supported by various “law and order” interest groups from within Colorado. The fact is, this bill solves no problems and has the potential to open the door to widespread abuse by Federal Agents operating with virtual immunity in Colorado. If you do not want Federal Agents to have expanded powers within Colorado, contact your State Representative at 303-866-2904 right away. INSIST they stand up for free speech and VOTE AGAINST SB13-013. This vote could happen any day this week! In Liberty, Matt Holdridge Colorado State Coordinator Campaign for Liberty P.S. Your ability to peacefully protest the policies of the federal government is under attack at the State Capitol. The effect would give the federal government the ability to lock you up for up to 72 hours--without charges or trial--any time they want, under the guise of a "mental health hold." The Colorado General Assembly is about to hand over more power to the Secret Service to curtail protests of federal government officials and bureaucrats who may be in Colorado. This bill has already passed the State Senate. It’s critical you contact your State Representative right away at 303-866-2904 and insist they stand up for free speech and VOTE AGAINST SB13-013. A vote could happen any day this week! |
