Here's what I think: I think you'd think like me if you really thought about it.

I know that's arrogant but give me a shot.  

Will John Salazar Oppose Obama Tax Plan?

Republicans want to prevent  House Speaker Nancy Pelosi from making Republicans go out on a limb for the wealthiest Americans just so close to November. With only weeks to go before the election, they're putting  dozens of House Democrats on the spot, demanding a single vote on extending all of the Bush tax cuts -- including the tax cuts that solely benefit the wealthiest Americans.

The GOP pressure might make some Democrats cave, and will certainly make others hide from questions about the Bush tax cuts. But unless Pelosi plays hardball on tax cuts, it's these Democrats who will decide whether the wealthiest Americans get to keep all of their tax cuts.
...
Others are Democrats who might, based on their voting records or their current political vulnerabilities, break with leadership on this issue. (For instance, we've marked Blue Dogs "BD"). Some of these members will no doubt side with Pelosi. Others not listed here might surprise us and side with the GOP. The list is not meant to be a perfect summary of Dem fence-sitters and tax cut proponents. It's to demonstrate that Pelosi has a lot of whipping to do if she's going to win the tax cut fight on straight up or down votes.

Those marked with an "L" "indicate that they've signed a letter to Pelosi asking for all the Bush tax cuts to be extended."  Besides being a Blue Dog, our CD3's John Salazar has signed that letter.  We need to find out if John will support the President's proposal that tax cuts extend to all but the top earners. If you are a constituent, please contact John and ask him.  Report any reply to talk@talkingpointsmemo.com

Blue Dog John Salazar: Aiding Koch Empire, hurting The President

Locals don't like it. Partly because the recipient of the favors, Bill Koch, can't be trusted, and partly because Salazar is pushing this tricky land swap that veers far and wide of the normal process:

[S]ome staffers at the Bureau of Land Management worry that Koch will be getting land with much higher value because of its potential for energy development. They also complain that there was very little opportunity for public input and scrutiny of the deal. There were no public hearings specifically devoted to gathering public comment, as there are with most proposed government land swaps.

"I'm not very pleased about it. It doesn't look like a very good deal for me or other people in this area," said Tony Prendergast, a former Forest Service ranger.

Thank You, Betsy & John

John has raised $7387 there and Betsy, $247,761.  They both need some help.  Why not give them each what you can?  

Some times we need to thank even those whom we sometimes oppose when they have helped the country, their constituents and all of us in Colorado.
