Ugh. D senators to introduce Gorsuch (!!) -- Colorado residents, speak up

http://www.politico.com/story/2017/03/neil-gorsuch-scotus-hearing-michael-bennet-cory-gardner-236197

"Gorsuch, a Denver native, will be introduced by both Colorado senators — Michael Bennet, a Democrat, and Cory Gardner, a Republican — before he delivers his opening testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee on Monday. It’s long been tradition that a nominee’s home-state senators give the introduction during the high-profile confirmation hearings."

Coloradans, please contact your Senators - this is crazy. As Robert Reich said today


"Activism works. Here's a portion of an email I received this morning from a Kansas politician who left the Republican Party:
'These town halls are taking a toll on [..] members of congress..."

Please call and send letters! These senators need a backbone.

And on Gorsuch

Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch has close ties to conservative megadonor activist Philip Anschutz
Gorsuch has frequently spoken at Anschultz’s lavish retreats at his 60-square-mile Eagles Nest Ranch. Similarly, Gorsuch shares a limited-liability company with two of Anschultz’s “lieutenants,” the Times notes, with the three of them co-owning a 40-acre property in the Colorado mountains.
