@DFADCoalition @LWVColorado We’ve held elections in hard times before – during a Civil War, two World Wars, a Great Depression and a Dust Bowl. Generations of Americans have stepped up to fulfill their responsibility and sustain our democracy. That’s our job now. And Congress needs to do its part. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

@DFADCoalition @LWVColorado Protecting our elections won't be easy with this president, this Senate, and the broken politics in D.C. But those aren’t reasons to throw up our hands. They’re invitations to roll up our sleeves and keep pushing our government to make sure everyone can vote safely this fall. — PolitiTweet.org

Just wrapped up a virtual town hall with the @DFADCoalition and @LWVColorado about the importance of securing our fundamental right to vote during this pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

As the #COVID19 crisis has so clearly brought to light, we are doing too little to provide nutritional assistance to our nation’s most vulnerable families, and particularly our children. Thanks for introducing our plan to reform #SNAP in the House, @RepJoeNeguse. — PolitiTweet.org

No one should have to choose between their health and our democracy. We must do everything we can to make sure everyone can vote safely this fall. Tonight I'll be taking questions at the Protect Our Vote Virtual Town Hall at 7PM MT. Join here ➡️ https://t.co/7vkTlDdWtD https://t.co/gy2do5V1m9 — PolitiTweet.org

During the COVID-19 crisis, we cannot show enough appreciation for nurses serving on the front lines. On #NationalNursesDay, we recognize every nurse who is working long, hard hours to keep us safe. Thank you for your continued care and dedication. https://t.co/v2IYY2mvnU — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks, AG @pweiser. The House strengthened and reauthorized #VAWA, which helps protect survivors of domestic and sexual violence, over a year ago. The Senate must absolutely act. — PolitiTweet.org

Today, I introduced a plan to use automatic triggers to ensure expanded unemployment benefits continue to flow to workers for the duration of the #COVID19 pandemic & the resulting economic crisis. Here’s what leading economists & policy experts are saying about our proposal ⬇️ — PolitiTweet.org

On #TeacherAppreciationDay, we thank our nation’s teachers for their creativity and leadership in the face of an unprecedented crisis and for inspiring and educating the next generation of leaders. https://t.co/eXjKCT5c8l — PolitiTweet.org

It's impossible to overstate the heroic efforts of our teachers during this crisis. From quickly adapting to distance learning to providing moral support to their students and their families, teachers are the glue keeping our communities together during this difficult time. — PolitiTweet.org

Colorado is now one of the top states nationwide in filling out the #2020Census. We can’t stop there – let’s go for the top spot. If you haven't responded yet, you can still complete the census online, by phone, or by mail. Visit https://t.co/3xFaAENKeT for more information. — PolitiTweet.org

Main Street businesses have taken a hard hit. My bipartisan proposal with @SenToddYoung would support the hardest-hit small- and mid-size businesses now and into the future as we make our way out of this crisis. Read more here ⬇️https://t.co/wBNlZgvZUu — PolitiTweet.org

@SenJackReed @RepDonBeyer Today’s plan would also serve as a bridge to a permanently reformed and strengthened unemployment system that is automatically responsive to future downturns. Read more about my comprehensive UI reform proposal here ⬇ https://t.co/YwGAiu0G8u — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Today, @SenJackReed, @RepDonBeyer and I released a plan to continue expanded unemployment benefits until the economy heals. Our plan will help sustain people whose lives have been upended through no fault of their own. https://t.co/kaKIE8injU — PolitiTweet.org

Everyone deserves to have their legal rights respected. I joined @RepJoeNeguse, @RepPerlmutter, @RepDianaDeGette, and @RepJasonCrow in calling for EOIR and ICE to make changes to uphold due process rights of immigrants detained in Aurora during the pandemic. https://t.co/65cLMWBS6m — PolitiTweet.org

#COVID19 has affected everyone–that’s why it’s essential we ensure every American who is eligible for a stimulus payment receives one. If you haven’t received yours, and you previously haven’t been required to file a tax return, check out these resources ⬇️https://t.co/HYeBeLIijz — PolitiTweet.org

My wife @DaggettSusan sent me to Washington well-prepared: with home-made face masks to wear all week. It’s still critical that we stay home and socially distance, but when you have to go out, please keep wearing masks to protect our communities and #FlattenTheCurve. https://t.co/IDGnjF6ieu — PolitiTweet.org

As the unemployment rate rises due to the #COVID19 crisis, it's critical we provide Medicaid programs in Colorado and across the U.S. with the federal funding they need to expand coverage and services for millions of eligible Americans. Our letter ⬇️ https://t.co/83YpbVIYPn — PolitiTweet.org

.@mcuban- We actually have a plan to do just this: Health Force. It calls for recruiting and training hundreds of thousands of Americans to fight #COVID19 by meeting our most urgent public health needs, like contact tracing. Check it out ➡️ https://t.co/XTiPz6IUXC — PolitiTweet.org
