Received this e-mail from congressional candidate Andrew Romanoff (D. CO-06), who is running against Tea Party Rep. Mike Coffman (R. CO-06) next year, calling for an end to the government shutdown:
Speeches won’t end the shutdown. A discharge petition will.
The petition would enable the House to take an up-or-down vote to reopen the government. Speaker Boehner has refused to allow such a vote.
Join me in urging Colorado’s Congressional delegation to sign the petition and end the shutdown:

Coloradans are suffering not only from a natural disaster but from a man-made one as well. The shutdown my opponent voted for is damaging our economy and jeopardizing our health. National estimates put the cost at $2 billion and rising -- roughly the same toll as last month’s floods.
Enough is enough.
It’s time for Congress to end this mess. Now:

Sincerely,
Andrew Romanoff

P.S. Coffman is one of the 17 Republicans in danger of losing his seat thanks to the shutdown:
