The self inflicted wounds of embattled Senator Mark Udall are really starting to fester as we head into the home stretch of the campaign. In addition to Udall coming down on the wrong side of big ticket policy issues, our senior U.S. Senator is also poised to lose reelection because of his habit of following people such as Jared Polis and Zane Kessler, executive director of the Thompson Divide Coalition, over the cliff of environmental extremism.
Udall signed a letter on September 17th claiming oil and gas producers cause extreme weather events and that industry polluters threaten communities. A few weeks before, the stumbling Senator told a group of constituents that hydraulic fracturing keeps “us locked into the old system.”
And while on a fundraising swing through Aspen, Udall teamed up with the Thompson Divide Coalition (TDC) in Carbondale for an opportunistic pep rally, cheerleading legislation banning oil and gas drilling in the backyards of his largest donors. The TDC is one of the most outspoken environmental activist groups on the Western Slope, whose goal is to cancel existing leases and “secure permanent protection from oil and gas development on Federal lands in the Thompson Divide area.”
Udall’s obstruction of the naval oil shale reserve; his pandering to extremist of the Thompson Divide Coalition, and his “no” vote on the Keystone Pipeline show a senator walling himself off from rural Colorado, and reelection, one brick at at a time.
Tim Williamson Hey a smart one! No surprise you like this site, huh. You almost spelled all your words correctly. I guess that means you can finally graduate from Middle School.
Yeah, Udall is the punk ASS BITCH OF WIENIES LIKE YOU.
Udall is a douchebag, just like "his dear leader. He supports everything the imposter in the White House
does, so not only is he a rotten Senator for Colorado, he is a rotten senator for the whole country.

Garfield COunty GOP Commissioner Tom Jankovsky: "Tom supports The Thompson Divide Coalition's mission to find a legislative solution to protect the area and has been very clear that 4-Mile Road should not be used as a haul route for gas industry vehicles. 4-Mile Road, Midland Avenue and the route through Glenwood Springs are not compatible with that type of traffic." https://www.facebook.com/votetomj2014
Every local government and three counties–including Garfield–support protecting Thompson Divide. As do many area ranchers, farmers and other rural folk. You probably know this, which makes you all liars.
