					<description>If you are going to mention "our" Congresswoman by name than I think you should also mention that Betsy Markey has a very energetic campaign to unseat Musgrave!   Folks who wish to volunteer can go to www.markeyforcongress.com and sign up.   

Already, the DCCC has indicated that Musgrave is one of only 40 seats they are targeting with support.    Betsy Markey already has the support of Emily's List and very soon they will, I am pretty sure, put some "real" money into this campaign.   

With all her flip flopping in DC (she says one thing here and returns to Washington to vote the opposite) Musgrave will have a race on her hands.    I think her constitutents are tired of the same old same old empty rhetoric.   She is not "green", she is not "progressive", she is not bipartisan.   And, we are not fooled.</description>

					<description>Dear Colorado Democratic party:

I question the ethics of using this website to put forth one's own candidate endorsement. 
I find it strange that one person in a position of access/authority can use this state &#38; national forum to endorse ONE candidate.
It's not that I'm complaining about the endorsement of Barak Obama. I think he is wonderful, but if I were not an Obama support, and I supported someone else, how do you think this might look?

I'm not complaining that this person who is doing this on this web site is a bad person, or that he supports a bad candidate. It's just that it seems this is not the forum for it.
This democratic website, and "the party" belongs to all who are democrats in Colorado, not just one sub group with in the party.
Please give close attention to YOUR ethical conduct, and level of integrity on this website that is publicly supported by Democrats from ALL walks of life.

I believe you have an ethical problem, and while it may not seem like it to you, you should be on the receiving end of this type of behavior, and just see how that might come across to you.

If you say you don't care, then you are no better than what we have in Washington right now. But I"d like to believe you DO care, and will quit this type of behavior here.

Sincerely,
A democrat for ethical integrity</description>

					<description>I see that you would like to elect a "Democrat from Colorado to replace Wayne Allard".  How about electing a 
"Democrat from Colorado to replace Ken Salazar, one of the worst BlueDog Demirats in Washington.</description>

The Blue Dog Demirats are completing their task of selling out the country in the treasonous tradition of their predecessors, the "Centrist Democrats" who sold out to the Republicans (fascists) in the 1980s.</description>
