  • With Wilderness, Process Matters
    Nov 4, 2009  - Protecting Colorado's natural treasures means protecting our state's identity and its prosperity.

  • Freshman rep: Going rogue on my blog
    Oct 30, 2009  - My communications director, Lara Cottingham, gets upset with me regularly about my blogging. (She says every time I "go rogue" it gives her ulcers.)

    Sep 24, 2009  - (CNN) -- After a month of heated debate on health care reform, it's time to play some hardball. As we settle back in to Washington, I am glad to see President Obama step up to bat and reissue and re-energize his call for reform. I am optimistic that the U.S. House will pass a bill to reduce t... More
  • The Case for Detention Reform
    Sep 15, 2009  - For the inaugural edition of the Denver Huffington Post, I thought I'd write about an issue that is close to my heart -- reforming our nation's immigration detention facilities, which hold tens of thousands of immigrants who were mostly picked up for trivial offenses like speeding or loitering and a...

  • This isn't much of a recess for Congress
    Aug 6, 2009  - (CNN) -- It's hard to believe that eight months have gone by and my first year in Congress is two-thirds complete.

  • Winning the Health Care Debate
    Jul 23, 2009  - Health care reform is the single most important step we can take to help families and rebuild our economy.  With Americans losing jobs and struggling to care for their families, now more than ever, I am committed to passing legislation that will reform our system to provide health care for all....
