Please act TODAY to stop the passage of John Hickenlooper's Fix Our Forests Act.

Hi all, I posted yesterday about Hickenlooper staying silent re: No Kings, but he was present at a rally and did post about it today. My apologies for my error. I will be more careful going forward.

Team Breslin showing up strong at No Kings Denver. Everyone I spoke to was determined to take back our country!

Weak Dems like Hickenlooper treat MAGA chaos as policy debate. Trump’s fascism isn’t a debate - it’s a threat. “Wait it out” till 2026 is a dangerous delusion. Community groups and activists fight back daily. Leaders must too. I sound the alarm in every speech. We can’t afford silence.

Absolutely. It is why I am running against Hickenlooper.

thank you!

A primary message of mine in running against Sen. John Hickenlooper is the failure of too many congressional Democrats to use their platforms to generate opposition to Trump's destruction of our system of government. Hickenlooper is a case in point.

Judging from social media, Hickenlooper has almost nothing to say about Trump’s destruction of our democracy. He is either clueless or cautious. Either way, he needs to go. Yesterday, Sen. Chris Murphy laid it out on the Senate floor. I will do the same, have been doing the same as a candidate.

US Senators should lead the way in defending Democratic priorities, not wait for direction from on high.

Where are Democratic versions of ads like that defending OUR positions? Democrats have minimal power in Congress but still maintain an impressive ability to message and shape public perception, but that power seems to be unused or poorly used.

I see efforts by various individuals and groups, but not the massive coordination necessary to shift public perception in a shorter timeframe. I saw a Youtube ad yesterday that tried to debunk the Medicaid cuts, and though it was dishonest, it was effective.

But I think it also points to a need for a media/public outreach campaign by Democrats in Congress and at all levels of government to make sure that every American understands how Donald Trump is dismantling our democracy and making people's lives so much harder.

There was reporting today that Trump didn't seem to understand the effects of the expiring ACA subsidies. Perhaps that holds out hope that the subsidies will be restored.

As a federal employee, I experienced a number of shutdowns, which are expensive, stressful for employees and the public, but sometimes necessary, and that is the case here. So, I appreciate congressional Democrats taking a stand.

I, for one, am tired of big money being used to paper over the unacceptable: his ongoing support for Israel, his allegiance to business interests and his indifference to the destruction of the environment.

You probably heard Hickenlooper raised 100k for the state party. Hickenlooper and CDP are promoting the news on FB. The state party needs the money, of course. But it also feels like a way to lift his reputation among Democrats.
