Half of Colorado is floating away and its Congressional delegation is unanimous in requesting Federal disaster relief.

Every member of Colorado’s congressional delegation, Republicans and Democrats, has come together to request emergency federal relief as our state recovers from this enormous natural disaster. Gov. John Hickenlooper has already stated that federal relief legislation may potentially be necessary to provide the funding the state needs to address the damage done. The damage to roads and bridges alone is estimated to be many times the state’s annual transportation budget.

Fine, happy to help. Just out of curiosity, though, how did your delegation feel when half of New Jersey was washed away by Hurricane Sandy? “How many Colorado Republicans voted against Sandy aid? Literally all of them.”

When it happens to you it’s desperate and you need all the federal money you can get. When it happens to other people, it’s “Too bad, so sad, buzz off.”

Just wanted to get that straight.
