are embarrassed by the Republican congressmen all who got their seats through gerrymanding and tea party false campaigning. Some of the counties which had the most disastrous flooding are ones that want to secede from Colorado, recalled two good state legislators for voting for reasonable gun control, want to "keep the government out of their lives" While their reps are telling their constituents how hard they are working to get FEMA and emergency money for homes, roads and bridges.

Colorado has a huge number of federal workers and contracts, military bases, science and research Depts and labs. Today Scott Tipton had the gall to go before the House and say the Republicans had nothing to do with the shutdown; they are the ones who are trying to fund the military, NIH, CDC, Headstart, but the Dems don't care about them.
