Who: Congresswoman Betsy Markey
What: Boulder County Canvass Kickoff
When: 10:30, Saturday, May 15th
Where: Collyer Park, Longmont, CO 80501
35 years is a long time.
Until 2008, that is how long Colorado’s 4th Congressional District was Republican. This District has elected Hank Brown, Wayne Allard, Bob Schaffer, and Marylin Musgrave! George W. Bush received 58% of the vote in 2004 here. How far we’ve come. But, you all know it has taken a lot of hard work. Betsy won because of the enormous grassroots work in places like Longmont.
The Honorable Betsy Markey is going to be at Collyer Park at 10:30am this
Saturday. Come see what the campaign kickoff is all about.
Here are some of Betsy’s great accomplishments in the last year:
1.) Credit CARD Act – PASSED.
Betsy Markey’s amendment protected thousands of customers from unfair fees and penalties.
2.) Health Insurance Industry Fair Competition Act – PASSED.
Repealing the special anti-trust exemption that health insurance companies have enjoyed since 1945. It will restore competition to the health insurance
market.
3.) Medicare Premium Fairness Act (HR 3631) – PASSED.
Preventing the increase of Medicare premiums for approximately ten million Americans.
In 2008 we voted for Change. It hasn’t come as fast as we hoped. But if we stop now, we will never know how far we can go to make this a cleaner, safer, and more just country.
Come see Betsy Markey on Saturday and show Longmont what grassroots means.

Both houses of Congress passed H.R. 1 E.H. This bill will make air travel safer, mandate inspection of ship cargo, and allocate funds for Homeland Security based on risk factors. The bill passed the House 371 to 40 and the Senate 85 to 8. The Democrats have passed legislation that will make America safer! This legislation finally fulfilled the recommendations of the 9/11 panel.

Recently the Bill Moyers Journal on PBS devoted a full hour to the subject of impeaching George W. Bush and Dick Cheney — the first such attention by a national network.
The remarkable thing about the response was not its size or intensity. After visiting more than a dozen states to address the issue, I have come to understand the depth of the public’s desire for accountability.

The Senate passed the War Funding Bill (HR2206) by a vote of 80-14 with 6 not voting. There is apparently alot of politicians who can talk the talk, but only 14 who can walk the walk! Some of the more interesting votes against the funding were- Clinton (D-NY), Obama (D-Ill), Dodd (D-CT) all candidates for the Presidency. Some prominent Senators that voted for the funding were- Salazar (D-CO), Biden (D-DE), McCain (R-AZ) Reid (D-NV), Webb (D-VA) and Hagel (R-NE). Two of the most important non-votes were Schumer (D-NY) and Brownback (R-KS).
