A Letter from Mike Coffman to the Voters of the 6th Congressional District:

I have a strong record as a proven conservative with a background of leadership from the military, small business, and from state government.

Congressman Tom Tancredo never waivered on the issue of immigration reform and nor will I.  In the Congress, I will fight for an enforceable immigration system that will include the security of our borders and deny amnesty and a path to citizenship to those who violate our laws.

I’ve been a small business owner from 1983-2000 where I’ve created jobs, balanced budgets, and met payrolls.  In the Congress, I will fight to stop out of control spending, cut taxes, and reduce the regulatory burdens on business to create more jobs and economic opportunities.

I served this nation in both the U.S. Army and in the Marine Corps.  I led Marines in combat during the first Gulf War and recently served in Iraq as a Marine Corps civil affairs officer where I helped the Iraqi people establish their first constitutionally-elected government.  In the Congress, I will fight to make sure that we maintain a strong military, that we complete our missions in Iraq and Afghanistan, and that we never waive the white flag of surrender in the war on terror.

I’ve had four military assignments that have taken me to the Middle East and I fully understand the importance for more domestic drilling and for reducing our dependence on foreign oil.  In Congress, I will fight to make sure that we increase domestic drilling to lower the price of gas, increase the availability of nuclear power, and end government mandates and taxpayer subsidies for alternative forms of energy thus allowing the free market system to work to determine how our energy needs are met.

Thanks for reading this.  I would deeply appreciate your vote for Congress on August 12th.

Sincerely,

Mike Coffman
