Dear Friend,

Today is Day 9 of the radical right's deliberate shutdown of the
federal government. After proudly standing with his fellow radical
Republicans,

Rep. Mike Coffman is trying to have it both ways. Voters of all
political stripes are realizing the truth: we can't trust Mike
Coffman. These are the actions of a man who knows he is going to lose.

Tell Rep. Coffman to stop playing games, and sign the discharge
petition in the House to force Republicans to reopen the government.

One of the nation's most vulnerable Republicans, Rep. Coffman is
running scared. Coffman knows that the voters are rejecting the right
wing's self-destructive temper tantrum against Obamacare. Coffman and
his fellow Republicans chose to hold our economy hostage to make a
political point, and now that it's backfiring, he's conveniently
changing his mind. At first, Rep. Coffman argued the shutdown of the
federal government by Republicans is "a negotiation" that needs to run
its course, even claiming he was willing to lose his job over it. Just
like he has on so many other issues recently, Coffman is attempting to
appear reasonable, but deep down he remains loyal to the same radical
Republicans who forced this crisis on the nation.

Now Rep. Coffman appears to have had a sudden change of heart after
reading polls that continue to blame Republicans for the standoff,
writing in an op-ed that the time has come to "pass a 'clean' spending
bill to immediately reopen the government." [1]

If Rep. Coffman is serious about ending this standoff, he must
immediately sign the discharge petition being circulated to force
congressional Republican leaders to reopen the government. Sign our
petition telling Coffman to take action now to end the shutdown.

Coffman has earned a reputation lately for paying lip service to doing
the right thing, then refusing to take real action. The voters of
Coffman's district are sick and tired of these games. Coffman must
take concrete steps, not just write op-eds, to end the shutdown of the
federal government before this crisis gets any worse.

Once again, Coffman is trying to have it both ways, but the only thing
that's clear to voters is that they can't trust Mike Coffman. Tell
Coffman to sign the discharge petition to force an end to the
shutdown. We'll share your name and comments with Coffman's office,
the press, and other public officials.

Thanks. Unfortunately, we can't stop the damage that Republicans have
already done, but we can hold them accountable in 2014. Mike Coffman
is first on my list.

Sincerely,

Alan Franklin
