Rep. Udall’s town meeting
I went to the Rep. Mark Udall’s town meeting this week, and was discouraged to hear him confirm his support of the war in Iraq. Even though he says he is completely against it, he will support funding it, without any stipulation that the funds be used solely to bring the troops home. He seems to go along with all those who say, “Oh , what terrible things will happen if we irresponsibly leave? “ I would counter that with, “What GREAT things will happen if we responsibly leave?” Rep. Udall did not detail any plan as to how funds should be used.
If you are unwilling to AGAIN send billions of dollars to continue this war, please call all three of these officials. The vote on funding is coming up soon. Phone calls do make a difference.
Senator Allard: 202-224-5941, or in Colorado at 303-220-7414 Senator Salazar: 202-224-5852, or in Colorado at 303-455-7600 Representative Udall, who wants to run for the Senate, 202-225-2161, or in Colorado at 303-650-7820 Rep. Udall seems to be under the impression that only a small group of citizens in his congressional district want to stop funding the war, and that hundreds of thousands of other Coloradoans agree with him that we should continue funding it. Please set him straight!!! There are so many of us he hasn’t heard from! Also encourage him get in touch with his constituency by having more frequent town meetings in larger venues so that those who come can participate.

are you trying to get invited to live in the peoples republic of boulder with this bs?
careful what you say about udall as you could end up in jail and he will be so sorry that it is such a long sentence you get. thats his record so far.
"...encourage him get in touch with his constituency..."
At least he has a realistic idea of what the hard cold facts are...if you represent his constituency it's no wonder he ignores you...

Posted by Keith on September 23, 2007 11:44 AMThere are things worse than war. Like losing one. Sun Tsu: "The purpose of war is peace- under the victor's terms." We can have complete peace right now if we are willing to surrender and live under the guidelines islamic terrorists set for us.
Hey, maybe that's a good idea. I would not have to put up with crap like my wife (or any woman) voting, driving or even thinking she is other than property. Of course, we would have to get rid of a few (ok, maybe all) constitutional amendments. Thats a small price to pay to be able to burn books, stone adulterers to death, cut heads off journalists, and kill anyone who doesn't submit to the will
mullahs. Allah Akbar!
