WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:04.120
<v Speaker 1>I've got the Colorado share person of the GOP, Britta

2
00:00:04.200 --> 00:00:06.320
<v Speaker 1>Horn on the phone with me on the horn with me,

3
00:00:06.360 --> 00:00:09.839
<v Speaker 1>as we say, Britta, and we've got some big news.

4
00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:12.599
<v Speaker 1>When is the assembly happening and where?

5
00:00:12.599 --> 00:00:21.000
<v Speaker 2>Britta csu Pludlow April tenth and eleven, Friday and Saturday,

6
00:00:21.079 --> 00:00:24.559
<v Speaker 2>all in one location. We are so darn excited about it.

7
00:00:24.879 --> 00:00:27.280
<v Speaker 1>So what is there? Let's let's talk like we're only

8
00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:29.800
<v Speaker 1>talking to transplants who just moved here and have no

9
00:00:29.879 --> 00:00:33.200
<v Speaker 1>idea about our political system. What is the State Assembly?

10
00:00:33.240 --> 00:00:34.159
<v Speaker 1>And why do we have it?

11
00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:38.039
<v Speaker 2>So? Obviously because it's state statue, so both sides have it,

12
00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:40.679
<v Speaker 2>and it's saying that you have come a assembly. Whether

13
00:00:40.759 --> 00:00:43.280
<v Speaker 2>in person or online, we choose to do online to

14
00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:46.640
<v Speaker 2>see each other because we like family and we like interacting.

15
00:00:46.679 --> 00:00:49.320
<v Speaker 2>We like the relationships community, we like being a part

16
00:00:49.359 --> 00:00:51.240
<v Speaker 2>of each other looking at each other face to face.

17
00:00:51.880 --> 00:00:53.600
<v Speaker 2>So at the State Assembly it will be.

18
00:00:56.039 --> 00:01:00.479
<v Speaker 1>Well, wait, Britta, wait, stop staying now. Wait yeah, I

19
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:02.359
<v Speaker 1>can hear you now as you said the state Assembly

20
00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:06.120
<v Speaker 1>and then and then he dropped out Assembly.

21
00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:07.959
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna try to find a better spot. I'm driving

22
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:12.200
<v Speaker 2>up a help. State Assembly will be where don't we

23
00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:15.879
<v Speaker 2>decide who's going to be, you know, for our candidates

24
00:01:16.079 --> 00:01:19.280
<v Speaker 2>or Republicans, And we have so many to have, you know,

25
00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:21.760
<v Speaker 2>especially with the governors and then some others. We have

26
00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:24.560
<v Speaker 2>some single feats right now because that could change as well,

27
00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:27.920
<v Speaker 2>but we're making sure that somebody gets at least thirty

28
00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:31.959
<v Speaker 2>percent from that body of people to be on the

29
00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:35.200
<v Speaker 2>primary ballot to win on June thirtieth, to be our

30
00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:38.959
<v Speaker 2>single candidate for governor all the way down all the

31
00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:41.920
<v Speaker 2>different seats and then out of host district seats, the

32
00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:46.680
<v Speaker 2>Senate district seats, Judicial district seats, all the seats.

33
00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:50.120
<v Speaker 1>So now you just said a single candidate. So people,

34
00:01:50.519 --> 00:01:52.719
<v Speaker 1>what's the situation with people petitioning on.

35
00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:55.840
<v Speaker 2>Well, I can still petition on absolutely, but I'm not

36
00:01:55.920 --> 00:02:00.560
<v Speaker 2>talking just governor. So right now, one person for ad

37
00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:02.799
<v Speaker 2>right now. He just announced yesterday, right.

38
00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:05.079
<v Speaker 1>And I have I have seen I have DA Michael

39
00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:07.040
<v Speaker 1>Allen coming on the show tomorrow to talk about that.

40
00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:10.759
<v Speaker 1>So that an attorney general's race is going to be critical,

41
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:15.560
<v Speaker 1>especially if Jennet Griswold manages to get that nomination. I

42
00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:18.680
<v Speaker 1>just I think Democrats have to be smarter than that.

43
00:02:18.759 --> 00:02:21.800
<v Speaker 1>But I don't know so we got to get get

44
00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:24.439
<v Speaker 1>that attorney general candidate going. Now, Britten, let me ask you,

45
00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:27.879
<v Speaker 1>how are the how are the ballots going to be counted?

46
00:02:27.919 --> 00:02:30.800
<v Speaker 1>This has been a very contentious issue lately. I mean,

47
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:33.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure that you guys are already working to make

48
00:02:33.039 --> 00:02:34.879
<v Speaker 1>this a very smooth running assembly.

49
00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:38.599
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, So I have our assembly group. We're sumbling it

50
00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:40.759
<v Speaker 2>right now and getting together making sure we get all

51
00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:43.159
<v Speaker 2>the numbers, all the ballots. Of course we want to

52
00:02:43.159 --> 00:02:45.639
<v Speaker 2>do paper ballots to that I don't I don't see

53
00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:47.400
<v Speaker 2>another the other way to do it. So I'm wear

54
00:02:47.479 --> 00:02:49.280
<v Speaker 2>to do a paper ballots or whatever, just like we

55
00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:51.879
<v Speaker 2>do in our state Central Committee meetings, and we'll make

56
00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:54.879
<v Speaker 2>sure everybody turns them in different colors again to be clear,

57
00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:57.319
<v Speaker 2>you know all the things. So I think that's best

58
00:02:57.360 --> 00:02:59.520
<v Speaker 2>for all of us. But it's going to be a long.

59
00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:02.400
<v Speaker 1>Day for sure, Yeah, I would imagine. So there's a

60
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:04.240
<v Speaker 1>lot on deck. How do people get to participate in

61
00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:07.159
<v Speaker 1>the state assemblies? Again, talking to those new on transplants,

62
00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:08.919
<v Speaker 1>So go to.

63
00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:12.080
<v Speaker 2>Their county party the couch. You may be Republicans, you

64
00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:13.960
<v Speaker 2>got to be a Republican, go to go to your

65
00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:17.039
<v Speaker 2>county assembly. You gotta go first university, your cocus. You

66
00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:19.080
<v Speaker 2>got to go to. Your caucuses are going to be

67
00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:23.520
<v Speaker 2>between March third and seventh. Like I said, for US Republicans,

68
00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:25.879
<v Speaker 2>bands were Democrats. So you got to find out when

69
00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:28.520
<v Speaker 2>your caucus is, go to there, and then go to

70
00:03:28.520 --> 00:03:32.439
<v Speaker 2>your county assembly. So your county assembly will ask the pieces.

71
00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:34.199
<v Speaker 2>But then if you want to be for some different

72
00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:40.199
<v Speaker 2>people as your couch district, confessional district, judicial district, you

73
00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:42.400
<v Speaker 2>got to find those assemblies and go to that because

74
00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:44.520
<v Speaker 2>you need to become a delegate. And we'll make sure

75
00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:46.919
<v Speaker 2>we have all the delegate numbers out however how much

76
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:50.280
<v Speaker 2>everybody can have, and then we come to state if

77
00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:52.159
<v Speaker 2>you're a delegate or an alternate. You can be an

78
00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:54.840
<v Speaker 2>alternate too if I get moved up because things happen,

79
00:03:55.199 --> 00:03:55.560
<v Speaker 2>go ahead.

80
00:03:56.199 --> 00:03:58.840
<v Speaker 1>So how many days? What are we looking at as

81
00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:02.360
<v Speaker 1>a commitment. I'm just thinking of people that maybe work

82
00:04:02.439 --> 00:04:04.919
<v Speaker 1>during the day or you know, because that's a Friday

83
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:07.680
<v Speaker 1>off in Pueblo that people have to take. How many

84
00:04:07.719 --> 00:04:09.840
<v Speaker 1>days do you have to commit to from that first

85
00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:13.919
<v Speaker 1>assembly in your county, your district straight through to the

86
00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:15.280
<v Speaker 1>state Assembly. What are you looking at?

87
00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:18.879
<v Speaker 2>There's let's come package. You've got a contradist one evening

88
00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:21.519
<v Speaker 2>somewhere or a Saturday, Okay, then you have to go

89
00:04:21.560 --> 00:04:24.759
<v Speaker 2>to an assembly that's another day. And then like you said,

90
00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:26.680
<v Speaker 2>for if you're going to be part of a multi

91
00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:30.399
<v Speaker 2>district you know, we want to say these smaller assemblies

92
00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:34.040
<v Speaker 2>that are just you know, hdcs, sds, all them that

93
00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:38.920
<v Speaker 2>could be another day in Denver or Sydney, plublow during

94
00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:41.600
<v Speaker 2>the day. And then for the state Assembly is on

95
00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:44.000
<v Speaker 2>day Saturday, and then on Friday night we're gonna have

96
00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:46.439
<v Speaker 2>our centennial dinner and we're looking forward to have some

97
00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:48.639
<v Speaker 2>really great speakers for that as well.

98
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:53.680
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Yeah, I think that people like people need to

99
00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:56.560
<v Speaker 1>understand the time commitment first of all, because it's not

100
00:04:56.720 --> 00:04:58.839
<v Speaker 1>just you're getting elected to go like if you're a

101
00:04:58.839 --> 00:05:02.399
<v Speaker 1>precinct captain, you have responsibilities, and I think this is

102
00:05:02.439 --> 00:05:05.560
<v Speaker 1>one of the things that people need to understand. But

103
00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:07.879
<v Speaker 1>if you want to be more politically active, if you

104
00:05:07.959 --> 00:05:11.120
<v Speaker 1>want to you know, go out and campaign for great candidates,

105
00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:13.639
<v Speaker 1>then this is a perfect way to dip your toe

106
00:05:13.639 --> 00:05:15.920
<v Speaker 1>in the water and get involved, right, I mean, it's

107
00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:19.560
<v Speaker 1>pretty basic, it is. It is a great way to

108
00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:21.160
<v Speaker 1>meet a lot of people in the party. If you

109
00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:23.560
<v Speaker 1>want to jump in and start working on party politics.

110
00:05:23.879 --> 00:05:27.240
<v Speaker 1>So how so they just need to call their county office,

111
00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:30.399
<v Speaker 1>their their county Republican office and get the details. That's

112
00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:31.040
<v Speaker 1>all they have to do.

113
00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:33.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Our look on Facebook is a lot of them

114
00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:34.920
<v Speaker 2>might not have phone numbers, but they have a web

115
00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:37.120
<v Speaker 2>should have a website, should have a Facebook, should be

116
00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:39.600
<v Speaker 2>able to find them somewhere. You're more welcome to go

117
00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:45.560
<v Speaker 2>to our website clogop dot org and on our page

118
00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:47.759
<v Speaker 2>we also have to click on counties to click all

119
00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:50.160
<v Speaker 2>the counties are there as well, and we really love

120
00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:52.519
<v Speaker 2>when you go over there, sign up for the newsletters,

121
00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:54.639
<v Speaker 2>find out what's going on now at the state level,

122
00:05:54.920 --> 00:05:56.839
<v Speaker 2>but really get your home all the way down to

123
00:05:56.879 --> 00:05:57.680
<v Speaker 2>your local level.

124
00:05:57.959 --> 00:06:00.199
<v Speaker 1>All right, Britt, I'm going to add that to the

125
00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:03.000
<v Speaker 1>blog today, so people can just go and find that

126
00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:05.800
<v Speaker 1>on the blog and then they can get to their

127
00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:08.319
<v Speaker 1>county organization that way. That just seems like a much

128
00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:09.040
<v Speaker 1>easier idea.

129
00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:09.560
<v Speaker 2>Bretta.

130
00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:11.439
<v Speaker 1>I appreciate the time today, and I'm sure that there

131
00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:14.199
<v Speaker 1>are people out there looking forward to this whole process.

132
00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:15.399
<v Speaker 1>You know, I don't know if you and I have

133
00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:18.160
<v Speaker 1>ever talked about it. I hate this process I don't

134
00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:21.160
<v Speaker 1>like the caucus process. I don't like the assembly process.

135
00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:24.439
<v Speaker 1>I think it's an outdated sort of dinosaur that is

136
00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:28.199
<v Speaker 1>great for incredibly passionate members of the party, but for

137
00:06:28.279 --> 00:06:31.439
<v Speaker 1>most people it's just too time consuming. But it's gonna happen,

138
00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:32.800
<v Speaker 1>so you may as well get involved.

139
00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:35.560
<v Speaker 2>That's the way to get involved. Down. If you want

140
00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:36.959
<v Speaker 2>to change it, you need to come on board and

141
00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:39.680
<v Speaker 2>get help us change it. That's what you want, all right, Bretta.

142
00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:43.240
<v Speaker 1>I appreciate the time very very much, and we'll talk

143
00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:45.959
<v Speaker 1>to you soon. You know, I just I do. I

144
00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:49.160
<v Speaker 1>think it's archaic. I've been by the way, I have

145
00:06:49.279 --> 00:06:51.439
<v Speaker 1>been to my precinct meeting.

146
00:06:51.519 --> 00:06:52.199
<v Speaker 2>I have done that.

147
00:06:52.319 --> 00:06:54.800
<v Speaker 1>I have gone and I you know, I tried
