Dear Friend,

noshutdown.jpg
Later today, we are sending the signatures and comments from our
petition demanding that members of Congress from Colorado take no part
in the Republican effort to shut down the government at midnight
tonight over Obamacare.

There's no nice way to say it: Republicans in Congress, including
Reps. Mike Coffman, Scott Tipton, Cory Gardner, and Doug Lamborn of
Colorado, are about to hurt everyone in America--just to keep up their
tantrum over losing the health care reform battle three years ago.
This morning, the national news outlet Politico sums it up with their
story titled "Government shutdown would threaten fragile economy." [1]

Last week, local media reported that the threatened shutdown may
already be impeding efforts to recover from this month's terrible
floods along the Front Range of Colorado. [2]

This has to stop. We've already talked about the tens of thousands of
federal workers in Colorado who will be furloughed and how Colorado's
tourism economy will take a massive hit from the closure of national
parks and monuments. Basic functions of government like our education
system will be severely impacted. Payments to doctors for services
under Medicare could stall. The Centers for Disease Control will have
to stop monitoring for influenza just as flu season gets going. I
could go on and on describing the bad things that are about to happen.

Republicans in Congress are solely to blame for manufacturing this
unnecessary crisis. This includes Colorado's Republican
delegation--Reps. Mike Coffman, Scott Tipton, Cory Gardner, and Doug
Lamborn. If you haven't already, click here now to demand they back
off their irresponsible threats to shut down the government over
Obamacare while there is still time.  And if you have signed,
send this message to your friends and ask them to demand an end to
these partisan games.

And starting tomorrow, be on notice: we're going to hold them
accountable for their actions.

Sincerely,

Amy Runyon-Harms
