Congresswoman DeGette,
I’d like to offer my sincere congratulations on your reelection as my representative from Colorado District 1. I’d also like to thank you for your involvement in the bipartisan letter to the congressional leadership on a budget deal. I believe that the congress cannot effectively govern without compromise. I know you’ll be working hard in the next few weeks to help negotiate a deal that both sides can live with.
I’d also like to thank you for your work on the “Respect States’ and Citizens’ Rights Act”. While I support the Federal Government’s role in ensuring our rights as individuals are respected by the states, I do not support its efforts in limiting those rights. The citizens of Colorado have decided to take on the risks and responsibilities of legalizing marijuana. As long as that decision does not adversely affect other states, the Federal Government’s job is to protect and uphold that decision, for better or for worse. Federalism is one of the many concepts that make this nation so great.
