Allard shuts down Senate website's contact page
By Jeremy Pelzer, PolitickerCO.com ReporterDon't bother contacting U.S. Sen. Wayne Allard's Senate office anymore - at least, not online.
With Congress adjourned for the year and the Loveland Republican retiring in a few months, the "contact" page on Allard's Senate website has been disabled, as first reported by the Colorado Independent.
"The United States Senate has effectively recessed for the remainder of the year, and will not be considering new legislative proposals," a statement posted on the contact page reads. "I am retiring, and so my Senate career has also ended. Accordingly, I feel that your thoughts and views on this matter would be best addressed to my successor. The benefit of hearing from constituents on legislative and governance issues should be extended to Colorado's newest Senator and not archived with me."

Quote of the Day
"With respect to Hank Eng's campaign, one of the problems with the campaign is that it started a little bit late and he wasn't able to get his name out; he wasn't able to get his message out and so nobody knew who he was. And that's something that I'm not going to allow to happen in my campaign."
- David Canter, an attorney from Highlands Ranch who has announced he will seek the Democratic nomination for the state's 6th Congressional district seat in 2010, on how he will run a different campaign from the one 2008 Democratic candidate Hank Eng did against U.S. Rep.-elect Mike Coffman.
