Tell Con Man Cory Gardner: the lies must stop

From the moment Cory Gardner entered the race for the U.S. Senate, he has been covering up his long political record--a record that ranked him as the 10th most right-wing member of Congress, according to National Journal.

Days after getting into the Senate race, Gardner claimed to have disavowed the Colorado Personhood abortion bans he’s supported for years, even though he is still sponsor of federal legislation that would do the same thing: ban abortion and many common forms of birth control. Gardner claims today that he “never” supported the disastrous shutdown of the federal government last year. But the truth is, Gardner did support the shutdown, voted with his party at every step to shut down the government, and publicly defended the Republican strategy. Gardner claims today that he has been vocal for immigration reform, but in Congress and the state legislature, he has repeatedly voted with the Tom Tancredo wing of the Republican Party. Gardner voted to stick taxpayers with the bill for cleanup of toxic waste sites. Gardner even told a Colorado senior living on a breathing tube, “we got to protect Medicaid,” even though he repeatedly voted for Congressional budgets that restrict and slash Medicaid benefits.

From banning abortion to immigration reform, his support for the disastrous shutdown of the federal government last year, and now brazenly lying about his record on renewable energy--it’s painfully clear at this point that Cory Gardner cannot be trusted.

On every issue that matters to women and families, Gardner is not only trying to claim a new position; he is trying to pretend his old votes didn’t happen. Colorado deserves better than a serial liar in the U.S. Senate.

    Subject: So many lies, so little time
    Dear Friend,

    No politician is perfect, but Cory Gardner could truly be one of the most deceptive candidates Colorado has seen in years. Just this week, the Associated Press reported that one of Gardner’s latest TV ads, which you’ve probably seen, claims credit for “launching” Colorado’s green energy industry. The truth is Gardner opposed the landmark 2004 law, Amendment 37, that made Colorado a leader in the renewable energy economy. And the bill that Gardner sponsored never funded a single renewable energy project before being repealed.

    Tell Cory Gardner it’s time for the lies to stop.
