Get Your Customers Back!  Join Us Today!

On February 21st, a group of bar owners and interested parties gathered at Murray Street Darts in Colorado Springs for a Civil Disobedience Rally. After very heated and angry discussions, the bar owners decided to enact the protest. Starting immediately after the rally, the bars that signed up are allowing smoking in their bars. We are prepared to be ticketed and to fight all tickets to jury trials and the end result will be a class action suit. We decided that all legal remedies have been exhausted and we will not let the state legislatures put us out of business.

With this protest, we are collecting $1 donation ashtray funds to pay for any tickets.  Our ultimate goal is to get our customers back and clog up the court system and have this illegal law repealed.

You are invited to join the protest now because it is spreading like wild fire. Your last fight at this illegal law is now!  If you are a bar owner that has been struggling financially and feel this illegal law is wrong and you want your rights and customers back we have room for you.

We have started smoking again in OUR bars!  We are protesting this ILLEGAL LAW.  Bar owners throughout the state have grouped together to protest the loss of our Constitutional rights.  As a group, we plan to make the state legislators reverse this law.  Each Bar will allow smoking in their bar & collect $1 donation per ashtray to help fight any tickets that may be issued.  We WANT to get these tickets, which we will fight with a jury trial and back up the court system.  If any fines are imposed, they will be paid by our Donation Fund.  You WILL bring your customers BACK into your bar.  The State of Colorado has no problem putting you OUT OF BUSINESS..........this Protest WILL bring all of you IMMEDIATE RELIEF.  Those who have already joined have already got all of their business back.  We need EVERYONE'S participation.  It will only work if we have a large number of barowners stand up and protest with us.

Civil Disobediance Protest

The Rules:

1.  Post a sign in front of your building or window that reads:  "CIVIL DISOBEDIANCE PROTEST" at bottom put the words "smoking ban" circled with a line through it.

2.  Have your customers donate $1 per ashtray each time they come into your bar.  ALL FUNDS COLLECTED will be put into ONE account for any tickets that may be issued.  These funds will ONLY go to pay the fines of those that have joined the protest.

3.  All participating bars agree to FIGHT any tickets all the way to a jury trial, and will not waiver.  We are looking for strong people who are not going to give up and stick this thing through until we make a difference in the legislature.

*Smoking in your bar IS NOT a violation of your liquor license.  Protest as a group and save your business.  Call Bruce Hicks at 719-351-6838, and get your customers back today!
