GOP Slandering Salazar with lies

Slandering Salazar
Something's rotten in the Rockies -- and the smell can be traced to a trade group funded by insurance and pharmaceutical companies. The Virginia-based company began airing an ad that accused Colorado Senate candidate Ken Salazar of standing by during a devastating cyanide spill at a mine in Summitville, Colorado. The problem is, the ad is baseless. Not only did the disaster occur before Salazar became head of the state's Department of Natural Resources, he recovered millions from the polluters to clean up the site. LCV came to Salazar's defense against what the Rocky Mountain News calls the "Summitville Slur," airing an ad that sets the record straight: As state Attorney General, Ken Salazar created Colorado's first environmental crimes unit, fined polluters, and put them in jail. His stellar environmental record has earned him an LCV endorsement in his bid for Colorado's Senate seat.

I've been trying to put together "a case," if you will, about Colorado's U.S. Senate race between Salazar and Coors. Several of my family have moved to Colorado from Massachusetts and are leaning toward voting for Pete Coors. I find it hard to believe but that's what they are telling me.

This article that you've posted and the endorsement of the League of Conservation Voters (re the environment) is helpful w/ its endorsement of Attorney General Salazar.

Do you have anything else, e.g., exposing Pete Coors for who he really is -- a rightwing extremist? Please see my other post in this forum (states -- Colorado) about this at: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=142x1578

Anybody else what to help build a case for Salazar and against Coors?
