ProgressNow Colorado Sign Up Information

Dear William,

Less than two weeks ago, we wrote asking you to contact Colorado House Minority Leader Patrick Neville, and tell him to stop putting Colorado lives at risk during the COVID-19 pandemic with his outrageous and irresponsible rhetoric: openly encouraging resistance to stay-at-home orders to combat the pandemic, and comparing the battle against this deadly disease to Nazism.

Yesterday, a local reporter asked Gov. Jared Polis about these outlandish statements from Minority Leader Neville and other Colorado Republicans. You have to watch his powerful response:

Reached by the Denver Post after yesterday's briefing, Minority Leader Neville "declined to apologize." [1] And even now as the evidence grows that everything we've done to fight this pandemic is working and has saved untold numbers of Coloradans, Neville and his small but noisy fringe of far-right activists who wield disproportionate influence in the Colorado Republican Party are giving their supporters advice that could cost lives.

Enough is enough. Sign our petition calling on Colorado House Republicans to remove Patrick Neville from his position as Colorado House Minority Leader immediately.

A new poll shows that 75% of Coloradans support Gov. Polis' response to the pandemic--over 30 percent higher than Trump's 43% approval. These weeks of staying at home have been difficult, but the alternative of allowing the pandemic to rage unchecked would be so much worse it's unthinkable. Coloradans understand the stakes, and we're doing a great job at slowing the spread of COVID-19 by staying at home.

Now let's make sure the whole country knows that Colorado House Minority Leader Patrick Neville does not speak for the rest of us. Sign our petition demanding House Republicans pull the plug on Neville's disastrous term as House Minority Leader. We'll deliver your signatures and comments to the House GOP, other elected officials, and the press.

Thanks again for helping Colorado get through this emergency with our health and our dignity intact.

Sincerely,

Alan Franklin

Dear William,

In response to the nationwide outcry this year over police brutality after the murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis Police, Colorado took decisive action to pass with overwhelming bipartisan support the strongest reforms to police accountability laws ever introduced in our state. Police in Colorado no longer have qualified immunity to brutalize the public with impunity.

But then Greenwood Village let Colorado down. This week, Greenwood Village passed an ordinance to shield their police officers from liability under Colorado's new police reform law. This action flies in the face of everything Black Lives Matter and progressive lawmakers have achieved in Colorado to stop police brutality, and we can't let it go unanswered.

Click here: join me, other artists like Wesley Schultz from The Lumineers, the Flobots, and music fans across Colorado promising to stay away from Fiddler's Green Amphitheatre until Resolution 40-20 is repealed by the Greenwood Village city council.

It is unconscionable to me that anyone--particularly Black artists and fans--should have to support a city government that has doubled down on racist police policies, just to perform in Colorado or attend a musician's performance. All Colorado music fans and musicians must reject this egregious, backward, and wholly unjustified attack on the Black Lives Matter movement.?

Click here: pledge to not play or attend concerts at Fiddler's Green until Resolution 40-20 is repealed.

Thanks for taking timely action this weekend to put a stop to police brutality everywhere in Colorado.

Sincerely,

Nathaniel Rateliff

Dear William,

On Wednesday, a violent assault on the U.S. Capitol by extremist supporters of outgoing President Donald Trump resulted in the deaths of five people, and the first violent breach of the U.S. Capitol since the War of 1812.

Thankfully, this unprecedented attack on federal lawmakers trying to carry out their constitutional responsibility and certify Joe Biden''s victory in the presidential election failed. In its wake five people are dead, and millions of dollars in damage has been done to the U.S. Capitol building.

Two members of Congress from Colorado, Reps. Lauren Boebert and Doug Lamborn, helped incite the extremists who stormed the U.S. Capitol with their support for baseless objections to the election results in battleground states. Lauren Boebert shouted at Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday, "Madam Speaker, I have constituents outside this building right now." Moments later, they stormed into the House chambers.

There is only one way for Lamborn and Boebert to make this right.

Sign our petition demanding that Reps. Lauren Boebert and Doug Lamborn resign from Congress immediately.

"The basic and fundamental responsibilities of our elected officials are to represent the will of the people-to uphold the tenets of our constitution and respect our democratic institutions," reads the letter signed by Colorado state lawmakers, local elected officials, and progressive advocacy groups from across the state. "You, Rep. Lauren Boebert and Rep. Doug Lamborn, have betrayed the trust of Colorado voters by helping incite violence against the body you were elected to, a body designed to serve us."

The events of this week are a reminder that democracy is not an idle responsibility. The choices Americans make at the ballot box matter. Donald Trump had made the consequences of making the wrong choice painfully clear. We must never again allow a demagogue who values personal power over American lives to occupy the White House.

Sign the petition now: Reps. Lauren Boebert and Doug Lamborn must resign. We''ll deliver your names and comments to their offices and the press.

Thanks for your help holding these misguided politicians accountable for the death and destruction they caused this week.

Sincerely,

Ian Silverii
