When asked “What Will You Do for Atheist Voters?” Ed replied

Thank you for emailing Rep. Perlmutter asking how he intends to represent his atheists in Congress. The simple answer is he will continue to do what he is already doing. Regardless of religion, the constituents of Colorado’s Seventh District agree Congress’s priority should be creating jobs and economic recovery. Congressman Perlmutter works each day to achieve those goals. Republican legislation which promotes religious fundamentals on Americans is a disservice to our nation at a time when we should all roll up our sleeves and focus on solving problems. I hope this answer is helpful. Matt Henken Legislative Director Office of Congressman Ed Perlmutter (CO-7) 1221 Longworth House Office Building Washington, DC 20515 202.225.2645
