It was a big week in Colorado. Across the state, recreational marijuana was sold for the first time. And guess what? The world didn’t end.

Colorado is leading the way, and we can’t let the federal government override Colorado voters and regulate our recreational marijuana sales. I’ve introduced the Respect States’ and Citizens’ Rights Act -- legislation that will help prevent the federal government from imposing its own marijuana regulations on states like Colorado. Can I count on your support?

We need to take this on from day one: make an immediate contribution to send a strong message: respect Colorado voters and respect states.

If there’s one thing I know about Coloradans, it’s that we’re fiercely independent. It’s my duty to protect the decisions that voters in our state make, and that’s a job I take very seriously. I’m working hard to make sure that Congress passes legislation to respect states and the overwhelming majority that voted to legalize marijuana in 2012.

Thank you for joining me in this important fight.
