Dear Friend,

Remember in November
By next Tuesday, Coloradans will make choices in 65 state house races.
Over the last two years, we've seen a breakdown in leadership in
the Republican-controlled Colorado House that resulted in nationwide
embarrassment for our state, the failure of important bipartisan
legislation, and, above all, a loss of our legislature's ability
to lead our state into economic prosperity after the recent recession.

In every Colorado House race, the stakes have never been higher:

In 2010, the right wing took control of the Colorado House by a single
seat, in a race decided by less than 200 votes. They have no mandate
to obstruct progress, but Republican House Speaker Frank McNulty has
become perhaps the most obstructionist Speaker in our state's
history. Over the past two years, literally hundreds of important
bills were killed in McNulty's House, including legislation to
create Colorado jobs, adequately fund our public schools, and protect
consumers from ripoffs.

Last May, McNulty and House Republican leadership actually shut down
debate on the last day bills could be passed, rather than allow a fair
vote on civil unions for gay and lesbian couples. Civil unions is
supported by more than 70% of Colorado voters according to polls. But
that's not the worst part: McNulty had to take extraordinary
measures because several Republican legislators were prepared to
support civil unions legislation as well! The bill would have passed,
but McNulty abused his authority to make sure it wouldn't.

This is why every House race in Colorado matters this year. A vote for
right wing candidates for the Colorado House anywhere is a vote for
Frank McNulty and his harmful actions. At our website, Remember in
November

, we've focused on six key right-wing legislators who need to be
held accountable: Speaker Frank McNulty, Majority Leader Amy Stephens,
and Representatives Robert Ramirez, Cindy Acree, Mark Barker, and J.
Paul Brown.

Whether you live in these districts or not, make sure you vote all the
way down your ballot this year! Our state legislature passes (and
kills) legislation directly impacting the everyday lives of
Coloradans. Don't miss your chance to help decide all of these
races, and the leadership of the House. Get the facts on the
Republican-controlled legislature at Remember in November

, and make sure your, your family's, and your community's
values are represented in your vote.

Working together, we're going to put this state back on the road
to recovery.

Sincerely,

Alan Franklin
