Nearly three dozen conservative nonprofits and think tanks sent a letter to members of the House of Representatives on Monday, urging them to reject a Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution that would overturn the Federal Communications Commission’s recent order killing net neutrality rules.

Democrats in the House of Representatives are attempting to force a vote on the net neutrality CRA by securing signatures from a majority of House members on a discharge petition that would pull the bill out of committee and bring it to the floor. But to succeed they need support from dozens of Republicans.

The letter from the conservative coalition comes as momentum appears to be building for the Democrats.Rep. Mike Coffman (R-Colo.) recently became the first Republican to sign their discharge petition. A survey conducted by Republican pollster Bryan Sanders was released earlier this week showing that opposition to net neutrality could hurt Republicans in key House battleground districts this November. The poll found that opposition to net neutrality could be a significant factor tipping the scale towards Democratic candidates for a majority of undecided voters in the districts where the poll was conducted.

wife from Ga

Also vying to succeed Suthers as Colorado's chief legal officer was Republican contender Cynthia Coffman. Coffman served as chief deputy under Suthers. Coffman's husband, Mike Coffman (R), is a three-term U.S. Representative from Colorado's 6th Congressional District and a formerColorado Secretary of State.^[3][2] Like Quick, she had the connections and access to deep pockets necessary for running a legitimate statewide campaign.

Quick and Coffman were uncontested for their respective party nominations in the June 24 primary and advanced automatically to the general election. Libertarian attorney and party activist David K. Williams was the only third party candidate on the November ballot. Coffman won the general election on November 4, 2014.

Money in the race

The Republican Attorney Generals Association spent $2.6 million on Coffman's campaign as of September. Quick was operating on less than one-quarter of that amount, and he tried to compensate for the relative funding shortage by "walking 2.6 miles a day in campaigning."^[8]

Rep. Mike Coffman (R-CO): Climate change is a conspiracy; only ‘radical environmentalists’ get grants.

Al Gore may feel like the conversation on climate change has improved, and feel a little hopeful that the planet can be saved, but the growing, rather late-in-the-day consensus is only making the nut-job climate science deniers more vehement.

One example is Rep. Mike Coffman, who told a local Colorado radio station that you can only get a grant to do science research if you “submit to the…orthodoxy of climate change by the radical environmentalists.” Coffman also said 97 percent of scientists were wrong, and that climate change is “naturally occurring” with “man-made influences” being “debatable.”

Positions, record and controversies

Abortion

Coffman supports making abortions should be legal when the life of the woman is endangered. He would support making Medicare, Medicaid, and federal subsidies prohibited from being used on abortion procedures. ^[1]

Spending

Coffman would see to increase spending on education, environment, and international aid. He would seek to maintain current levels of spending on defense, FEMA, homeland security, both state and federal law enforcement, medical research, national parks, public health services, scientific research, space exploration, and transportation and highway infrastructure. He would support cuts to agriculture, United Nations, and welfare and the elimination of arts funding. ^[1]

Taxes

Coffman supports slight decreases in family income taxes across the income board. He would support maintaining the current alcohol, cigarette and gasoline taxes but would like to greatly decrease the capital gains, inheritance and corporate taxes. ^[1]

Campaign Finance and Government Reform

Coffman Supports increasing the amount individuals are permitted to contribute to federal campaigns. ^[1]

Education

Coffman supports allowing parents to use vouchers to send their children to any public, private, or religious school. He would support increasing Pell Grant programs and decreasing Stafford Loans. He supports banning university financial aid officers from owning stock in or accepting gifts from student loan lenders and requiring universities to disclose financial relationships with lenders. He supports eliminating all federal education standards and testing requirements for K-12 students (No Child Left Behind). ^[1]

Employment

Coffman supports increasing funding for national job-training programs that retrain displaced workers or teach skills needed in today’s job market. He supports reduced government regulation of the private sector and would encourage employers to offer child care services, flex-time scheduling, comp-time, and unpaid leave for family emergencies. ^[1]

Environment and Energy

Coffman supports increased development of traditional energy resources (e.g. coal, natural gas, oil) and domestic oil exploration in areas that are currently restricted. He would support further development and use of alternative fuels, research and development of nuclear reactors as an alternative energy source and international voluntary emission targets to limit global warming. ^[1] hmm

Health Issues

Coffman supports expanding eligibility for tax-free medical savings accounts, allowing the importation of prescription drugs into the United States and offering tax credits to individuals and small businesses to offset the cost of insurance coverage. ^[1]

Immigration

Coffman supports decreasing the number of legal immigrants allowed into the country but supports merit-based visas or family-based visas. He supports harsher financial penalties for those knowingly employing illegal immigrants but does support a temporary worker program. ^[1]

International Policy

Coffman supports the United States granting aid to countries when extraordinary circumstances cause disaster and threaten civilian lives and when the security interests of the United States are involved. He supports U.S. leadership in the Israeli-Palestinian peace process. He is in support of imposing greater international sanctions on Iran if it continues to defy United Nations mandates. He supports using greater economic and diplomatic sanctions against North Korea if it fails to abide by its agreement to suspend its nuclear program. He supports continued military support in Afghanistan and U.S. involvement in ending the violence in Darfur. He supports a more conservative American Foreign Policy that is less reliant on nation building as a principle tool for achieving America's foreign policy objectives. Coffman supports the U.S. imposing trade trade sanctions on Venezuela. He supports U.S involvement in free trade agreements and intergovernmental organizations dedicated to trade. ^[1]

Iraq War

Coffman is opposed to a fixed timetable for troop withdrawals from Iraq. However, having served in Iraq with the U.S. Marines, I do believe that the process can be moved along faster than it currently is. ^[1]

National Security Issues

Coffman supports allowing law enforcement agencies to have greater discretion to monitor domestic communications, to prevent future terrorist attacks. He believes the U.S. should hold foreign states accountable for terrorists who operate in their country and is willing to use support preemptive military strikes against countries deemed to be a threat to United States national security. He supports expanding the missile defense shield. ^[1]

Social Issues

Coffman does not support same-sex couples be allowed to marry and would support a federal constitutional amendment defining marriage as between a man and a woman. He does not support federal funding for research on new or existing embryonic stem cell lines. He believes the federal government should stop affirmative action programs. ^[1]

Bio

Michael Coffman was born on March 19, 1955 in Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, to Harold and Dorothy Coffman, and is one of five children. His father served in the United States Army at Fort Leonard Wood, and after 1964, at Fitzsimons Army Medical Center in Aurora, Colorado.

In 1972, Coffman enlisted in the U.S. Army, and was assigned to a mechanized infantry battalion. The following year, he earned a high school diploma through an army program. Leaving active duty for the U.S. Army Reserve in 1974, he entered the University of Colorado, graduating in 1979. He also studied atVaishnav College in Chennai, India, and the University of Veracruz in Mexico for a year. Upon graduation from the University of Colorado, Coffman transferred from the Army Reserve to the United States Marine Corps in 1979, becoming an infantry officer. In 1983, he transferred from active duty to the Marine Reserves, serving until 1994. In 1983, he created an Aurora, Colorado-based property management firm, serving as senior shareholder until 2000.

Coffman began his political career serving as a member of the Colorado House of Representatives from 1989 to 1995. Shortly after winning re-election in 1990, he took an unpaid leave-of-absence from the statehouse during his active duty service in the Persian Gulf War, during which he saw combat as a light armored infantry officer. In 1994, he retired from the U.S. Marine Corps after 20 years of combined service to the army, army reserve, marines, and marine reserve. When State Senator Bill Owens resigned his seat to become state treasurer, the party's vacancy committee named Coffman the replacement in December 1994. In 1996, he was elected to a full term to the Colorado State Senate unopposed.^[5] He became the Chairman of the Finance Committee.

In 1998, Coffman was elected as State Treasurer of Colorado with 51% of the vote, defeating Democratic nominee Jim Polsfut.^[6] In 2002, he was re-elected with 56%, defeating Democratic State Senator Terry Phillips.^[7]

He resigned from that post in 2005 in order to resume his career in the U.S. Marines, and serve in the War in Iraq, where he helped support the Independent Electoral Commission of Iraq, which oversaw two national elections, and helped establish interim local governments in the western Euphrates Valley. In 2006, he completed his duty in Iraq and was re-appointed as State Treasurer. He served that position for only a few months because in November 2006, he was elected Colorado Secretary of State with 51% of the vote, defeating Democratic State Senator and Minority Leader Ken Gordon.^[8]

2008

Main article: United States House of Representatives elections in Colorado, 2008#District 6

Coffman announced that he would run for the U.S. House seat being vacated by retiring Republican Tom Tancredo in 2008 in Colorado's 6th congressional district. The seat is considered to be the most Republican-dominated district of the Denver-area seats and is also one of the wealthiest in the nation.^[9]Three other candidates decided to run in the Republican primary for the open seat: Wil Armstrong (son of former U.S. Senator Bill Armstrong), State Senator Ted Harvey, and State Senator Steve Ward. Coffman won the August primary with a plurality of 40% of the vote, beating runner-up Wil Armstrong by seven points.^[10]

During the general election, Coffman was accused of corruption. Groups including American Civil Liberties Union of Colorado, Common Cause of Colorado, the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University School of Law, and the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund accused the secretary of state's office of improperly marking 6,400 voter registration forms as incomplete, because they failed to check a box on the form. Incomplete registrations require voters to either re-register or provide extra identification when they go to vote.^[11] Soon after the accusations were made, Common Cause filed suit against Coffman, in his official capacity as secretary of state. The secretary of state's office denied wrongdoing, and Coffman said he believes his office was correctly applying the law.^[12] On October 30, 2008, the court approved a preliminary injunction allowing purged voters to participate in the 2008 election.^[13] Bernie Buescher, Coffman's successor as secretary of state, replaced Coffman as defendant in the case in January 2009.^[14] The bulk of the litigation was settled in January 2010 after changes to Colorado's election regulations, and the remaining portions were decided in January 2011.

The Denver Post endorsed Coffman on October 10, 2008.^[15] In November, Coffman defeated Democrat Hank Eng, an Appleton, Wisconsin City Common Councilman, 61%-39%.^[16] Governor Bill Ritter designated State Representative Bernie Buescher, a Democrat, to succeed Coffman as Secretary of State.^[17]

2010

Main article: United States House of Representatives elections in Colorado, 2010#District 6

Coffman defeated Democrat John Flerlage 66%-31%.^[18]

2012

Main article: United States House of Representatives elections in Colorado, 2012#District 6

In redistricting, Colorado's 6th congressional district was made more favorable to Democrats than previously: its population was evenly split between Democrats, Republicans and unaffiliated voters. In fact, Barack Obama was projected to have gotten 54% in Coffman's district in 2008, which is in line with the statewide results. ^[19] Aurora was added to the district.^[20]

Democratic State Representative Joe Miklosi decided to challenge Coffman.^[21] During a campaign fundraiser in Elbert County on May 12, 2012, Coffmanexpressed doubt that President Barack Obama had been born in the United States and declared that: "I don't know whether Barack Obama was born in the United States of America. I don't know that. But I do know this, that in his heart, he's not an American. He's just not an American."^[22] Coffman later apologized saying that he had "misspoken".^[23] In September 2012, Coffman said that he had a "fundamental concern" that President Obama would use the military to aid his re-election bid in an attempted October surprise conspiracy.^[24]

Coffman defeated Miklosi 48%-46%, a difference of 6,992 votes. At the same time, Obama defeated Romney in the district 52%-47%.^[25] Miklosi won theArapahoe County part of the district 48%-45%. Coffman made up the deficit by winning Adams County 46%-45% and Douglas County 60%-35%.^[26]
