Received this e-mail today from actor, director and environmental activist Robert Redford in support of his friend Senator Mark Udall's (D. CO) re-election bid:
My passion for preserving the West’s open spaces and protecting the environment led me to connect with Morris and Stewart Udall, Mark’s father and uncle, many years ago. We share a common goal of protecting public land and empowering native communities.
In a Washington that has become increasingly obstructive and partisan, Mark has kept his head above the fray and carried the Udall family baton on crucial environmental issues.
Here in the West, he’s worked to ensure local communities have the resources they need to fight wildfires and droughts. Nationally, he’s continued his effort to create a renewable energy standard and create jobs by bringing energy efficiency into the 21st century.
These issues and more have led me to continue supporting Mark.
As he gears up for reelection, I’m thrilled to join Mark in Colorado for an event. And I’d love it if you could join us.
If you make a contribution today, you’ll be automatically entered for a chance to join Mark and me for a VIP reception in Denver.

I don’t need to tell you how much is at stake for Colorado in this election. We cannot take anything for granted and allow an irresponsible Tea Party Republican to replace Mark in the U.S. Senate.
The contest ends tonight at midnight. Please consider making a contribution to help Mark, and we’ll automatically enter you for the chance to join us in Denver for an exciting event.

Thanks for listening.
Sincerely,
Robert Redford
