Over the past few years, I've driven almost 70,000 miles through cd three. I have toured well over 100 small businesses, nonprofits, healthcare centers, and attended numerous water and mining conferences, cattlemen and farm bureau meetings. The number one thing I hear, regardless of partisanship, age or background, is that everyone feels forgotten, misunderstood and taken advantage of by Denver and DC. We are tired of big city people telling us how to live, how to work and how to play. We're tired of national partisan politics, of the yelling, the screaming and the anger tainment industry that seeps into our lives. (04:27–04:37)
