“$15 Million or Colorado? $15 million or Colorado? Definitely $15 million.”
We now know how much Sen. Mark Udall was willing to sell Colorado out for- $15 million (give or take). The eco-extremist Tom Steyer is hoping to have a $100 million dollars to spend in just seven races this election cycle. Which means, if Steyer distributes his hoped-for funds evenly, it only took less than $15 million dollars for Udall to choose a San Francisco eco-extremist’s wishes over those of Coloradans. As The Associated Press reports:
NextGen Climate Action said it plans to spend at least $50 million contributed by founder Tom Steyer, a retired hedge fund manager and longtime Democratic donor, and another $50 million the group is seeking to raise from likeminded donors. The money will be used to back Democrats and attack Republicans running for Senate in New Hampshire, Iowa, Colorado and Michigan, and for governor in Pennsylvania, Florida and Maine.
We don’t know what is more insulting: Udall selling Colorado out for only $15 million, or that he values keeping his own job more than creating jobs for average Coloradans. Then again, it has been Udall’s continued “me-first, Colorado-second” attitude that has put Udall’s job in danger in the first place.
Opposition to the Keystone XL pipeline is nothing but an extremist issue pushed by those on the margins of the Democratic Party. The chance to switch America’s energy supply from chaotic regions to a much more stable neighbor makes sense and has been embraced by many mainstream Democrats such as former Colorado Senator Ken Salazar. For Udall to favor extreme special interests over what is best for Colorado shows he no longer deserves to be our senator. Every ad Steyer pumps into Colorado will just be another reminder of Udall’s betrayal of Colorado.
Tell Senator Udall to Stop the War on Youth
July 8, 2014 by Free The Future
Senator Mark Udall claims to have the best interests of Colorado in mind, but his actions in the Senate say otherwise:
Rather than stop irresponsible government spending, he voted multiple times to increase the debt ceiling.
He has consistently voted to increase out-of-control government spending, leaving 18 year olds with a $800K lifetime share of the national debt.
He supported the Internet sales tax that would cripple small businesses in Colorado and take more of your hard-earned money.
He voted “Yea” on Obamacare, which caused more than 250,000 Coloradans to lose their insurance despite promises from Udall that we could keep our health insurance if we liked it.
He voted for an unsuccessful stimulus that cost Americans $185,000 per job.
Senator Mark Udall has had many opportunities to stop the policies that are harming Colorado. But he didn’t – instead, he has doubled down and supported the government’s reckless expansion that has left young people with higher taxes, fewer jobs, and more debt.
This has to end. Contact Senator Udall via Facebook, Twitter, or phone and tell him to stop the War on Youth that is harming our future!
