A Message from Todd Mata, Arapahoe County Dems Chair.
PLEASE EMAIL TODD AT todd@arapahoedems.org IF YOU PLAN TO ATTEND; WE ARE ANTICIPATING A LAST MINUTE CHANGE OF TIME OR VENUE, AS IS TYPICAL OF COFFMAN, AND WANT TO BE ABLE TO NOTIFY EVERYONE IF THIS OCCURS:
Guys,
Rep. Coffman is having a townhall on August 27th at the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office here in Centennial. The tea party is expected to have a strong presence, given its proximity to the metro area. It would be a darn shame & embarrassment for the Arapahoe Dems if we couldn't get our Democrats and progressives to come out.
As we all know, his voting record for the folks of Arapahoe County and Colorado is abysmal. For that reason, I am asking each of you to go to this townhall and ask him in person when he is going to stop pandering to the small teaparty minority in CD-6 and special interests and actually start representing Coloradans. Here are some specific questions to ask him:
Instead of working with the President and Democrats in Congress to propose meaningful legislation that will help put Coloradans back to work, why is he proposing legislation that will disenfranchise millions of American citizens by requiring English-only ballots.
Ask him why he refuses to increase taxes on the wealthiest 1% in the US, but is more than happy to take away Medicare and Medicaid from our senior citizens.
Ask him why he refuses to support H.R. 1084, a bill which would require the contents of fracking fluids to be publicly disclosed as needed to protect the public health, just as with other toxic discharges. This is especially important to the folks of Arapahoe County as fracking is set to commence in Aurora.
Those and other questions need to be answered so that the people of Arapahoe County can see whose interests Coffman is really representing. If you long for the day when we vote Coffman out of office, this is your time to show Arapahoe County that we can do better than him.
Please send me, Pam Gail, John Buckley, Matt Salek and Mary Prtichard an e-mail response if you will be attending this townhall. In a show of solidarity for all Coloradans, I'm asking all attendees to wear a blue shirt and make sure you sign in at the townhall (Townhall address below).
