As of this week, millions of Americans are now paying thousands more for health insurance.
If the President and Congressional GOP think Washington has the capacity to "run" Venezuela right now, why won't they fix the insurance cost crisis they've created here at home?

Quick question: Is conviction worth the cost?
As a former police chief and paramedic, I knew what gun violence looked like in real life. So as a State Senator, I acted. My constituents voted me out for it. But the laws stayed.
Was it worth it?
Yes.

When political survival is on the line, do you follow conscience? I chose conscience over career—and paid the price. But the #gunsafety laws I ushered through in 2013 are still on the books. The question for all of us: What are we willing to stand for? #CivicResponsibility #Leadership #CourageToLead

Gun makers often market firearms in ways that put the public at risk—appealing to kids with cartoonish imagery, video game references, or images of children with guns. Like Big Tobacco once did, they aim to hook future customers and encourage parents to “start them young."

If you think passing tough effective gun laws is hard, try picking out your child’s tombstone.
That’s much, much harder but something Americans are forced to do every day because of guns.
We know because that’s what we had to do.

Mountains & Modern Politics: A Metaphor for the Climb
Navigating today’s political environment feels a lot like climbing a mountain. The path is steep, the air gets thin, and every step forward can feel like a battle against gravity itself.

Behind every law is a story. Ours began in Aurora and Newtown, and led to five new gun safety laws in Colorado. The fight for safer communities is far from over.

I'm proud that the gun-safety laws we passed will remain on the books despite my removal from office. Going forward, I hope that politicians and voters across the country will find ways to build on our successes in Colorado... Read this #Newsweek article from 2013: www.newsweek.com/2013/09/20/c...
Rampage. Regret. Repeat.
Can we ever stop the cycle? How one lawmaker lost his job fighting for gun control. And why he'd do it again.

The 2013 recall was more than an election—it was a test of our democracy. Using recalls as a weapon threatens every leader who dares to do what’s right. We can’t let intimidation win.

Donald Trump is threatening me with arrest and execution because I’m upholding my oath to the Constitution and standing with our troops.
It tells you all you need to know about this President’s disregard for the rule of law.
