Support Independent Candidate for the U.S. House in Colorado’s 7th District

________________________________________

(I will be supporting Ron Tupa, running for Congress in Colorado’s 7th District. He is running against the current incumbent, Brittany Pettersen. I would encourage those of you who live in her district to do likewise.

Tupa is an experienced, principled independent candidate that would make a fine congressman.

It is time, actually, beyond time, for people to find viable alternatives to both the Democratic and Republic Party, people who run for office who are not controlled by the military industrial complex and the financial oligarchy whose suffocating control has reduced the U.S. political system to near naught, and stripped its democratic content to next to nothing.

Ron Tupa is running as an independent candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives against Brittany Pettersen in Colorado’s 7th District (basically Jefferson County). His main opponent in the race is Brittany Pettersen,

Personal Background:

Ron Tupa, a single dad and proud parent of two teenagers, one who just finished high school and the other who will soon graduate, served as a Colorado state legislator at the time affiliated with the Democratic Party. His political career started with leadership roles with the CU College Democrats and the state chapter of Young Democrats.

From there filled a fill a vacancy representing Boulder in the Colorado House of Representatives. After six years in the House he moved up to the State Senate and served there for another eight years before being term-limited out of office at the age of 42.During his 14-year legislative career Tupa sponsored over 200 pieces of legislation and passed nearly 100 into law – a respectable 50% passage rate, and this as a member of the minority party for eight of those 14 years.

Support Independent Candidate for the U.S. House in Colorado’s

We’re 6 weeks out from the election & the presidential debate made one thing perfectly clear: don’t expect ANY progressive change when it comes to defense spending, healthcare reform, income inequality, or immigration policy. Once again, Green Party candidate Jill Stein is the only progressive presidential candidate in the running – and it’s not even close. Sure, Vice-President Harris & the Democrats are better than Trump & the Republicans on many issues, but is the political status-quo – this perpetual “lesser-of-two-evils” major party matchup – REALLY the best America can do?? I just can’t accept that!

At the Congressional level, I’m one of the few progressive candidates running for Congress here in Colorado! I’m running AGAINST the status-quo & have made political reform & getting corporate money out of politics a centerpiece of my campaign:

A sampling of differences on issues:

I’m for cutting the $1Trillion Dept. of Defense budget – my opponent supports DOD $

I’m for a Ceasefire in Gaza & suspending military aid without it – my opponent opposes

I’m for Medicare for All – my opponent opposes & takes Big pharma / insurance PAC $

I’m for progressive immigration reform – my opponent supported non-progressive policy

I will address tax & income inequality if elected – my opponent is silent on this issue

With just 7 days to go before the end of the final fundraising Quarter, this is the last big push before the November election. I’m making a final appeal to supporters so we have the resources I need to reach other progressive voters in CD7. While my opponent is accepting $1000 checks from corporate PACS and AIPAC, I rely on lower dollar grassroots support to fuel this campaign. So if you want to support a true progressive candidate for Congress from Colorado, please consider making a small dollar donation before 9/30! 

$25 helps with travel in CD7; $50 buys digital ads; $100 goes a long way toward the cost of literature! I appreciate any support you can give in the next 7 days prior to Nov. 5^th. Visit www.rontupaforcongress.com to contribute – thanks!

Independent candidate for US CONGRESS

Colorado Congressional District 7

p.s. Over the last 43 days of the campaign I will be introducing my candidacy to thousands of voters, just like at the Independent National Convention in Denver & the Broomfield Days parade this past week. So please pass the word along and forward this email to other progressives!
