We Are Losing Our Senator

Less than four months in Washington, and Senator Ken Salazar is already forgetting where he is from. When the Senator left for Washington he was a conservative Democrat who wasn't going to be a part of this blind filibustering of judicial appointments. I even watched him wide eyed in the television lights say so after the President's State of the Union Address.

Now he is being coddled and led around by the Democratic leadership dancing around like a puppet with someone else pulling his strings. Wednesday he was under tow with Senator Lieberman on the attack against Focus on the Family. Thursday he spent his time reading articles from the Washington Post to Senators from the floor of the Senate, and then took some time out of his busy day to once again attack Focus on the Family. Somehow the Senator believes that Focus on the Family standing up for the rights of their membership and trying to hold Senator Salazar to his campaign promises is a threat to religious freedom.

Here is a simple message to the Senator. Come on back to Colorado for a little visit, because we are trying to talk to you. Reread the press clippings from the last election and remind yourself of the promises you made, and how the Democratic Party found success here in Colorado by coming back to a more conservative tone. Have lunch with Tom Daschle and get a few pointers on how to listen to the people of your own state. After all, we deserve a little of your attention since we elected you.
