CO Mountain Lion Ballot Initiative: Continuous Updates

[lak2004]

Worry it might be a little too late, I think a ton and I mean a ton of people have already cast a mail in ballot….

Agree. I wrote an LTE in my local paper but it hasn't even been published, pretty pisses about that.

Last I saw was about 1 million votes. There are about 6 million people. Not too late. Keep pounding the drum. It’s worth the fight.

Agreed, just voicing my worries, I think there are 3ish million legal voters. Who knows how many ole Jenna tried to register though

Denver Post editorial board came out against Prop 127. Not sure it matters to most voters but it may sway some.

The Denver Post editorial board opposes the ban on mountain lion, lynx and bobcat hunting

Coloradans are being asked to ban mountain lion hunting and the hunting and trapping of bobcats and the endangered lynx should the animal ever get delisted.

Interesting article. I think it echoes a major concern from lots of reasonable urban/suburban voters with no real equities in hunting: Prop 127 would force a misguided, poorly written policy on CPW and Colorado. I think even folks with little exposure to hunting can see the clear anti-hunting intent in Prop 127.

Just sealed my envelope. I can't be worried about it now.

There's lots of "NO" signs here in the metro Jefferson county, it seems like it'll go fine. Cross that bridge when we get there.

I live in Fort Collins, and I have not really noticed any signs or advertisement supporting 127 but I have seen quite a few against it including a big one on I-25 driving back from DIA this morning. This is just observational evidence but hopefully it's a good omen.

Watching the Workd Series just saw a Vote No commercial. That’s good air time!

I found this posted on another website. Looks like they are now insulting these wildlife conservation groups. Their true colors are coming out. Do they really care about wildlife management?

That’s comical. Because their donors are so legit ha. What a bunch of clowns

I am cautiously optimistic about this not passing.

I'm amazed looking at the Colorado, Denver, Fort Collins, etc Reddit pages. The overwhelming majority are against 127 which I wouldn't have expected from your typical Reddit demographic.

I get a smile on my face every time I see a No on 127 sign while driving through Boulder and Larimer Counties!

Thank you to everyone that has spread them along the Front Range!

I guess RMEF, MDF, and WSF are now “dark money DC groups”. Hahaha. These folks will stop any nothing to push their anti-hunting agenda. Keep the pressure on. We can beat this. Denver Post and Denver Gazette both came out against Prop 127 this week.

I find it comical that the folks that put something on the CO ballot that was primarily funded by and organized by out of state folks have the gall to comment about national organizations fighting back against this. You idiots are the ones using national organizations and money to meddle in state politics in the first place.

Absolutely. Wayne Pacelle, CEO, and Samantha Miller, campaign director, are both employed by Animal Wellness Action/Center for a Humane Economy. They are the major donors, providing labor and funding. Based out of……. You guessed it Washington, DC.
