Last night, as promised, Governor Mark Warner from Virginia came to Colorado to help support my campaign, and I want you all to know that the results exceeded my wildest imagination in every way. We had a huge, enthusiastic crowd. We had all of our Colorado Congressional Candidates. We had our Senate Majority Leader. We had Congresswoman Diana Degette. We raised a lot of money. We got great media. And most of all we fired up a lot of Democrats to go out and fight for change in the next 84 days!

So here's the really important part:

THANK YOU! Read More

...who won't stand up proudly for the things you believe in.

...who believe that "moving to the center" is the way to win votes.

...who think being more like "them" is the way to win back America.

...who won't walk a picket line with you.

...who won't call for an immediate plan to end the war in Iraq. Read More

I get asked about a lot of issues on the campaign trail, but one that comes up over and over is health care, and how we can fix a health care system that is in crisis. So let's jump right in and talk about what we need.

We need a comprehensive plan that provides full medical coverage for every man, woman and child in America! Right now we have over 100 million Americans who are underinsured for health coverage, 44 million Americans who do not have health care coverage at any given time, and at least 20 million who do not have it permanently. I'm one of the them. I don't have any health care coverage. Read More

It is almost a mantra in America today to hear people say they support the troops. We hear it on television and radio. We see it on bumper stickers. It's almost the de facto disclaimer of any politician anymore. But it raises the question: What does it mean to support the troops?

Here's what I think it means.

To begin with, we should never ask our troops to put their lives on the line unless it is for one of two reasons: to defend against a direct attack against the United States, or to make us more secure in some easily definable way. The Iraq war fails both tests. We did not attack the country that attacked us, and we are LESS secure as a result of this war. Read More

When I first got into the race for Colorado's 6th Congressional District against Tom Tancredo, I did an online interview for ePluribus Media that covered a lot of ground. I wanted to revisit that interview now when more people are paying attention, because I think there are some important truths here.

I am posting that interview one question at a time with only minor revisions where needed to reflect the passage of eight months. I look forward to your feedback and will try to respond to your comments as much as possible. Here's number three: Read More

When I first got into the race for Colorado's 6th Congressional District against Tom Tancredo, I did an online interview for ePluribus Media that covered a lot of ground. As many of you have come to expect, I was open and honest with my answers, and it gave some on my campaign staff fits.

But my campaign was significantly under the radar when I answered those questions, and I wanted to revisit them now when more people are paying attention, because I think there are some important truths here.

So I am going to post that interview one question at a time with only minor revisions where needed to reflect the passage of eight months. I look forward to your feedback and will try to respond to your comments as much as possible. So here comes number two:

I was just reading a post by RevRandy in which he said he was "waiting for the Democratic Party to stop playing politics and again be a voice of values and vision." I decided I had to post my response to the general audience, and here it is.

We ARE out here talking about a REAL Democratic message, Randy. Lots of us. But the "leadership" of the Democratic Party continues to throw us under the bus in favor of candidates who "can win" according to the calculus and logic of the folks in Washington. Read More

My name is Bill Winter and I'm running for Congress against Tom Tancredo in Colorado's Congressional District 6.

As a candidate, I'm often told to be careful about what I say so that it is not used against me by my opponents. To that advice I say this--caution is not something I learned in the Marine Corps and the Navy. The Marines are not cautious. The Marines charge in where even angels fear to tread and that is something I will never change about myself. Read More

For sharp, insightful analysis--yeah right!--be sure to read this post all the way to the end. You might also (not) win a pony if you read all the way to the end!

I want to send out my most sincere and heartfelt thank you to all of you who voted for me in the first two rounds of Gov. Mark Warner's Map Changers contest. Because of you we just finished very strongly in the top five in the West from a list of very strong candidates. We will get a much needed $5,000 check from Gov. Warner's PAC as well as a chance to win the final round and bring Gov. Warner to Colorado.

I want to formally and sincerely apologize to anyone who received a robo-call from my campaign at an inappropriate time. I know no one likes to get robo-calls under the best of circumstances, and unfortunately, we had a technical problem that allowed the calls to go on through the night. This is NOT an indication of what is going on with my campaign. This is a one time technical problem that we will resolve immediately! Read More

BILL WINTER, CO-06: "Cut and Run"--a coward's mantra!

By now I'm sure most of you have seen the email that made the national rounds in the last year that showed who among national leaders and pundits had actually served in the military. Naturally, the vast majority of those doing the most cheerleading for Bush's war of choice in Iraq had never served a day in the military, much less seen combat. Just as predictably, those on the Democratic side and speaking out against the war--and the way it has been fought--included a large preponderance of veterans.

I have watched with interest in recent weeks as Congressional and White House republicans desperately try to repair public confidence in their failed Iraq policies by endlessly repeating the worn out phrase "cut and run." What they don't seem to understand is that their policies and decisions have real word repercussions that affect real lives of real Americans. Read More
