Coloradans know it’s hard to get any face time with U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO), who hasn’t held a single town-hall meeting this year. It’s certainly not for lack of trying, considering his constituents routinely show up at his office to try and make their voices heard, especially when it comes to incredibly important issues like health care.

Harnessing the power of art to support our madres
Being a parent is difficult regardless of age, gender or the things that can make us feel different. Many parents struggle with a lack of access to a living wage or adequate healthcare or the support they need. This can be particularly difficult for women.

When you claim you are the “fake news” whisperer and it turns out you’re the mark

Former Republican lawmaker calls for execution of journalists and whistleblowers
With all the crocodile tears some conservative lawmakers have been crying about “divisive rhetoric” in the wake of the tragic shooting of a Congressman and others at a baseball practice, you might get the impression they are paragons of rhetorical virtue. As someone who trudges through the FeverSwamps™ daily, I can tell you that is not true.
Chair of CO GOP laments “divisive polarization,” yet he passes on incendiary falsehoods about Democrats on Facebook
Jake Viano, chair of the Colorado GOP, has been eating up all the attention he’s gotten based on the harassment by an anarchist of Republicans in the Denver Pride parade. Viano was all over Facebook lamenting incendiary rhetoric:
If Gardner really wanted transparency, he could have started with his own constituents
On Wednesday, in a report from The Denver Post, U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) said the GOP should have been more open about the bill to repeal and replace Obamacare.
Local GOP activist incorrectly says Handel is the first Georgia Congresswoman, then laments that feminists won’t be celebrating
You might remember Kelly Couey from this post about his wife traveling to Washington to take part in a photo-op with Donald Trump, or his part in a failed anti-Bennett commercial promoted by local GOP activist Laura Carno.
