DENVER– A new television ad starting today in Colorado’s 4th congressional district urges citizens to contact Congresswoman Betsy Markey and tell her it’s time to start working for Colorado. To view the ad, click here.

The ad states that to small businesses, Besty Markey is the same as Nancy Pelosi.

“Betsy voted for Cap-and-Trade, the new energy taxes that would cost Colorado thousands of jobs, and Markey betrayed us by voting for a government health care plan that cuts $500 billion from Medicare,” the ad states. “Tell Betsy Markey: ‘It’s time to start working for Colorado again.’”

The $330,000 ad buy will run on network and cable channels in the district starting today and continuing until August 19. It is part of Americans for Prosperity’s November Is Coming initiative – providing citizens a mechanism to tell politicians if they support freedom-killing legislation, like cap-and-trade or one of the endless bailouts, then citizens will remember in November.

“Betsy Markey needs to hear from citizens on these key issues,” said Jeff Crank, state director of Americans for Prosperity-Colorado. “Her decisions are already killing jobs and raising taxes, and the Colorado economy can’t afford more of Markey’s policies.”

The television ad also encourages citizens to sign AFP’s November is Coming petition. More than 371,000 Americans have signed the petition at www.NovemberIsComing.com addressed to “Elected officials” and states that “If you vote Yes to big government programs or any other freedom-killing legislation, I will vote NO on you in the next election.” The petition goes on to list key policy actions the petition signer opposes:

“Fail to support efforts to repeal ObamaCare and replace it with real reform that puts patients first; vote yes to cap-and-trade energy taxes or fail to stop any related EPA regulation; vote yes to any more bailouts; or fail to stop any attempts to regulate the Internet.”
