Dear Friend,

Last week, "Tea Party" Republicans were defeated after
shutting down the government for over two weeks and threatening the
first-ever default on the nation's financial obligations, all to
further their political agenda. The headlines today are full of
stories of Republicans running scared, with many saying they will
never again make the mistake of holding the nation hostage to alter
the law of the land.

But not Congressman Mike Coffman of Colorado. Coffman went on the
radio after the shutdown ended to celebrate--even going so far as to
praise the fact that last week's agreement was "a very
short term measure," giving Republicans "breathing
space" to keep the fight that led to the crisis alive.

What is Coffman thinking? Tell him to back off right now.

Last week, Coffman praised the tactic of threatening a default on the
nation's debts on KOA radio. [1]

"In the last debt ceiling negotiation, we got conditions that in fact
really made a difference in terms of bringing down spending," Coffman
said, referring to the painful sequester cuts from 2011 that have
reduced funding for education, defense, children's health, victims'
rights, and job programs. While most of the nation wants the
obstruction and uncertainty to end, Mike Coffman is actually looking
forward to the next Republican-engineered fiscal crisis.

That's the wrong choice. If you haven't already, sign our
pledge telling members of Congress to swear off the tactics of
shutdown and default for good. We'll make sure Coffman sees it.
Enough is enough.
