Colorado State Senator Evie Hudak, who was facing recall due to her gun control votes, resigned on Wednesday rather than face recall. By resigning, she was able to keep the seat Democratic, since a resignation would be filled by Democratic committee appointment, rather than fighting and likely losing in a recall, as prior Democratic gun control advocates had done.
Prior to her resignation, however, the unions tried a very unsavory tactic to stop people signing the recall petition. As Frontpage notes:
In a desperate effort to convince Coloradans not to sign any more recall petitions, the Democracy Defense Fund distributed these door hangers accusing the petition collectors of being criminals and pedophiles.
Though Colorado Democrats have denied any connection to the door hangers, the Democracy Defense Fund lists Kathryn Wallace as its registered agent. Wallace has run for office several times and appears to be affiliated with the Jefferson County Democratic Party.
More significantly, the Democracy Defense Fund is drawing its money from reliable liberal donors. Mainly unions who play power games with the forced contributions of workers.
