Colorado’s almost 32 million acres of farmland help feed families across the world and contribute more than $7 billion to our state’s economy. This World Food Day, let’s take a moment to thank the farmers and farmworkers who work hard to put food on our tables. — PolitiTweet.org

The Camp Hale-Continental Divide National Monument was years in the making. Thanks to the veterans, Tribal and local leaders, businesses, and outdoor advocates who came together, future generations will be able to visit and learn about this historic site. https://t.co/VclARakpiT — PolitiTweet.org

Just minutes from the State Capitol, #MyLocalRefuge is the @USFWS Rocky Mountain Arsenal Wildlife Refuge - home to more than 330 species of wildlife that help promote the preservation of public lands. During #RefugeWeek, take a day to visit a refuge near you! — PolitiTweet.org

As I wrote with @RepJoeNeguse, this new National Monument is a victory for Colorado — providing much-needed resources and protections, protecting Colorado’s environment and public lands, and ensuring our veterans' stories live on. https://t.co/b9CxPmzMRX — PolitiTweet.org

For years, I've proposed fixing the Affordable Care Act's family glitch so more families could access affordable health plans. I applaud @USTreasury for closing the coverage gap this week in time for #OpenEnrollment next month. — PolitiTweet.org

As the first Hispanic woman elected to the State Senate, Polly Baca has paved the way for young Latinos hoping to make a change in their communities through public service. As we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, let's take a moment to recognize leaders like State Sen. Baca. https://t.co/D9Nq5Ll7UT — PolitiTweet.org

Today was for the 10th Mountain veterans — from WWII to Afghanistan — for whom Camp Hale has become a refuge and a place of peace. With this designation, we offer their service the dignity of public remembrance. https://t.co/OdjodLQva8 — PolitiTweet.org

With this designation, we offer our veterans the dignity of public remembrance, safeguard this place and its extraordinary history, and ensure that we can share the story of the 10th Mountain and their contributions. Colorado will be forever grateful. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

This proclamation reflects the vision and compromises of local officials, veterans, sportsmen, environmental groups, and so many others. The result is a victory for Colorado’s environment, our outdoor economy, and the legacy of public lands we owe the next generation. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

After the war, many veterans returned to Colorado to build our ski and outdoor industries. Theirs is an extraordinary story - a deeply Colorado story - of service, vision, entrepreneurship, and an abiding connection to the outdoors and our public lands. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

In 1945, the skills of 10th Mountain made history at Riva Ridge, where they climbed over 1,800 ft up a vertical cliff in the dead of night to dislodge Axis soldiers from the high ground. Their heroism helped break the German line and clear the way for Victory in Europe. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

It also honors the legacy of the 10th Mountain Division. During World War II, 15K soldiers from across the country came here. Some had never seen snow or been in the mountains. But over two years of relentless training, they became the world’s most capable mountain soldiers. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Its history goes back to before Colorado was even a state. According to the tribal history of the Ute people, their ancestors lived here “since the beginning of time.” This designation honors their enduring connection to the land and their rightful role in helping to manage it. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

This is a historic day for Colorado, and I want to thank @GovofCO, @RepJoeNeguse, @SenatorHick, @SecVilsack and so many others for their leadership to make it possible. This designation means more Americans will come to appreciate the extraordinary history of Camp Hale. — PolitiTweet.org

TUNE IN NOW as I join @POTUS in Colorado to officially designate Camp Hale-Continental Divide as our nation’s newest National Monument. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

BREAKING: @POTUS will designate Colorado's Camp Hale and the Tenmile range as his first national monument. I can't think of a better choice.   This wouldn't have happened without the tireless work of a broad coalition of Coloradans who have fought for these protections for years. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

A broad coalition of Coloradans supports making Camp Hale and the Tenmile Range a national monument. I delivered over a dozen more letters to @POTUS urging him to take action – read more from Tribal leaders, ranchers, businesses, and outdoor champions ➡️ https://t.co/bsMHp1qL5y — PolitiTweet.org

For World War II veteran Francis Lovett, who trained at Camp Hale, and Afghanistan veteran Brad Noone, Camp Hale's significance as a place of solace spans decades. Hear them share why this special and historic site deserves protection as a national monument: https://t.co/VtjB2qfJRh — PolitiTweet.org

This #WorldMentalHealthDay, we recognize that managing our mental health is as important as our physical health, but too many lack access to vital resources. We must continue to invest in quality mental health care to expand access to all -- here and across the globe. — PolitiTweet.org

Today, I joined students and community members from @FLCDurango for Indigenous People's Day.

Recently, Congress passed the Violence Against Women Act and the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, to strengthen and expand protections for survivors of domestic violence. We must do more to protect victims and survivors of domestic violence. #DomesticViolenceAwarenessMonth — PolitiTweet.org
