You are pursuing the American Dream. You work hard, doing your best to provide for your family, but many times there's just not enough left at the end of the month. You're living paycheck-to-paycheck, and you know the idea of getting ahead is a joke.
You're not living life, you're enduring life. Pursuing the American Dream? Silly you.
America's aristocracy perpetuates the illusion of the American Dream to keep the proletariat in its subservient role, working hard for too little and always striving for more. The Koch brothers and their ilk count on you to buy the lie.
Indentured servant Gardner will do and say anything to hide his alliance with the Elites. Beware of Cory Gardner: he will seduce you with deception and blind you with fear.
Gardner and his obstructionist pals in the House of Representatives have gridlocked Congress, making it impossible for the government to do its job.
Gardner votes to block progress on ANY issue more than 90% of the time.
Gardner is an extremist who gets his "science" from the Bible. It's hard to believe that anyone in 2014 uses the Bible as a textbook, but it's Cory's go-to source.
For religious fundamentalists like Gardner, science contradicts their faith-based view of the world.
At a time when our country faces serious challenges that have scientific solutions, you can depend on Gardner to vote against science.
CLIMATE CHANGE
He believes climate change is "hyped by the media." Like other evangelical fundamentalists, Gardner refuses to open his eyes and see the changing world around him. Instead, he believes whatever happens is part of "God's plan."
STEM-CELL RESEARCH
It's no secret that Gardner opposes a woman's right to make medical decisions for herself. Gardner has sponsored numerous "personhood" bills throughout his political career, changing his position once he announced his candidacy for the senate.
He's playing to the crowd, knowing the majority of Coloradans don't agree with him.
Gardner believes life begins when the egg is fertilized, an imperceptibly small clump of cells known as a zygote.
Why does his belief matter?
Stem-cell research shows great promise for treating and even curing a wide-range of diseases. It's even possible that stem-cell research will permit the paralyzed to once-again walk.
But it will never happen if Gardner has his way. He thinks he knows better, and he wants to impose his beliefs on you.
For Gardner, a zygote is a human being with a soul. In other words, Cory thinks you don't have any more rights than a clump of cells. Your health and well-being don't matter.
Gardner won't back any stem-cell research, with funding or otherwise.
The sky is the limit for what scientists could discover and develop for the benefit of humanity–yes, including you–but Gardner uses his religious beliefs to put a stranglehold on science.
Cory Gardner is hostile to science, and that's something we can't afford.
The Koch brothers are spending millions to advance their agenda by smearing Sen. Mark Udall and repairing Gardner's public image.
Gardner has repeatedly sponsored "personhood" legislation, but flip-flopped on the issue when he entered the senate race.
Like his billionaire buddies, Gardner denies climate change, saying it's "hyped." He even sponsored the "Oil Above All" Energy Strategy Bill.
Gardner doesn't care that you got laid-off. He has voted many times to give corporations tax breaks for shipping jobs to China, India, and elsewhere.
Gardner is a religious fundamentalist, and he and his brethren are on a mission to "bring this country back to God."
Why should you take this threat seriously?
Because Gardner and his Tea Baggers will not hesitate to strip you of your First Amendment rights.
Freedom of Speech? Gone.
Freedom of and from Religion? History.
Voting for a religious extremist like Gardner is the same as casting your vote for the Muslim extremists in the Islamic world: the Taliban. Al-Qaeda. ISIS.
Too much to believe?
Visit any conservative evangelical church. Its members are pained by what they perceive to be America's "fall from Grace." Subjugating the people of this country to their extreme religious views is their mission. They blindly believe they are "victims" under "attack" by "unbelievers."
Don't underestimate this fringe of society. They will wage religious war if necessary, hoping–praying–to become martyrs for their cause.
Sound familiar? It should. Gardner and his followers are no different than the religious fundamentalists we spent trillions of dollars and thousands of American lives fighting in the Middle East.
MARRIAGE EQUALITY
Cory Gardner bases his entire argument against same-sex marriage on inconsequential, isolated passages in his version of the Quran–the Bible.
Gardner was "saved by the bell" by state, federal, and the Supreme Court.
Marriage equality is sweeping the country, so it's no longer susceptible to unwelcome religious legislation. Gardner no longer has to expose the truth about his medieval beliefs about same-sex marriage.
Gardner can now hide his primitive views behind the cloaks of the court.
