Colorado Democrats applaud and are proud of Democratic Congress standing for working families.
After the longest Government shutdown in history, and the U.S. Senate vote to reopen, Shad Murib, Colorado Democratic Party Chair, issued this statement on November 10 of this year:
“We are incredibly disappointed in those who caved to Donald Trump and spat in the faces of the millions of working people across this country who counted on them to protect their healthcare.
“They didn’t take a deal; they accepted defeat. They chose convenience over courage. Now, Trump and Republicans will rip away healthcare from millions of Americans and make them choose between paying for food, rent, or medical bills.
“This crisis was manufactured by Republicans like Lauren Boebert, Gabe Evans, Jeff Hurd, and Jeff Crank, who controlled every branch of government and played games with people’s lives to please Donald Trump and billionaires.
“We’re proud of senators Michael Bennet and John Hickenlooper and our Democratic delegation: Representatives Jason Crow, Diana DeGette, Joe Neguse and Brittany Pettersen for refusing to rubber-stamp Trump’s assault on Americans’ health care.
“Colorado Democrats will always hold the line and fight for working families.”
A post made on social media from CBS news states that democrats will continue to fight for universal healthcare in the United States. It says that the government should reopen; however, if reopening comes at the expense of families trying to have access to affordable medical care, than the people deserve better.
After plenty of back and forth about bill appropriations, Democrats agree to stand united over a common goal, the goal being standing for the American people. After what many considered a time of struggle, it is important to have a light at the end of the tunnel. A hope for how things will start looking going into the midterm. This is just the kind of thing people need before the holidays.
