Protecting Your Privacy Rights
Friday, May 17, 2013Our constitutional right to be free from "unreasonable searches and seizures" applies regardless of whether we are talking about letters kept in a desk or emails stored online. Even though the way we connect as Americans has changed - with emails, tweets and Facebook replacing more traditional forms of communication - our constitutional right to privacy must remain protected.

Strengthening Our Families and Communities
Tuesday, April 30, 2013When I came out in support of marriage equality in August 2011, I joined a small core of 18 senators who publicly stood for progress on that issue. Like many Americans, there was a point when I struggled with accepting the idea of marriage for gay and lesbian couples; I thought perhaps civil unions would be a workable compromise. But over my years in Congress, I have met more and more Coloradans who understand what this issue really boils down to: It is about love and commitment, about basic dignity and about being able to protect your families.

Tuesday, April 23, 2013Thank you to everyone who participated in my renewable energy Twitter Q&A hosted by ACORE.

Our Country Deserves Solutions
Friday, April 19, 2013The horror of the Newtown shooting, arriving on the heels of the mass shootings in Aurora, Columbine, Virginia Tech and Tucson, has appropriately reignited a national debate over gun violence. Sadly, this week even a bipartisan compromise to expand background checks to keep firearms out of the hands of criminals and the mentally ill, drafted by two conservative U.S. senators - Republican Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania and Democrat Joe Manchin of West Virginia - failed to pass the U.S. Senate, despite being supported by 90 percent of Americans and over 70 percent of NRA members.

Udall Urges Senate to Level the Playing Field for Main Street Businesses, Colorado Retailers
Video | Monday, April 22, 2013Video requires Flash PlayerMark Udall urged his colleagues to pass the bipartisan Marketplace Fairness Act, a common-sense bill to level the playing field for Main Street businesses and Colorado's brick-and-mortar retailers. The proposal would end the competitive advantage online-only retailers have over local businesses by authorizing states to require that out-of-state retailers collect local sales taxes that are already owed under current law. The legislation would ensure that Colorado Main Street retailers are not penalized for creating jobs in Colorado.
