NEW: Effort to recall @GovofCO Polis needed to turn in 631,000 valid signatures today. Recall organizers turned in zero signatures. #copolitics#9NEWS
This may sound like an embarrassing failure but remember the last recall effort still raised tens of thousands of dollars and was last seen spending those donations at a ham radio shop.
The Colorado Secretary of State's website notes that no recall petition signatures were turned in while the "Dethrone Polis" recall page announces that "Signature Collection is Complete"
But for real, @jadedview, still curious what you guys bought at the ham radio shop with those Polis recall donations. I left you a few messages seeking comment. You're also welcome to post the answer here.

The lasting memory I have from The National Museum of African American History and Culture are the photos of Black children being screamed at by white adults. Wondering what kind of lives the children went on to lead. And whether the adults and their descendants are horrified.
So it stuns me that, generations later, there are so many more Americans who want to be captured in images cheering racism. And I wonder what they will think decades from now. And what their children will think if they ever see those images.
