With Father's Day being celebrated this weekend, ProgressNow Colorado is highlighting Rep. Cory Gardner's vote as a Colorado state legislator to protect "deadbeat dads" from having gambling winnings seized for back child support.
When mothers and kids needed Cory Gardner the most, he turned his back on them. Gardner had the chance to vote for a straightforward bill asking casinos to collect overdue child support from gambling winnings–and Con Man Cory instead voted to protect deadbeat dads.
As a Colorado state representative, Gardner voted against HB07-1349. This legislation required gambling casinos to collect payments from the winnings of individuals who owe back payments for child support. Gardner was one of just nine legislators who voted against HB07-1349 on final passage, which passed with 54 votes. (Source: HB07-1349 Repass Roll Call, Colorado House Journal, 5/4/07)
We should all be able to agree that parents have a responsibility to their children, and the state must enforce child support orders to protect the most vulnerable. Coloradans deserve better than politicians like Cory Gardner who turn their backs on kids and their moms in order to make life easier for casinos and deadbeat dads.

who lobbied Gardner in favor of deadbeats?
Nobody, Cory Gardner just knows the bitch doesn't deserve anything.
Boo Cory Gardner.
Good job Progress Now Colorado.
Actually, really poor job by Progress Now.
You do not want to go comparing the candidates as Fathers do you?
I didn't think so.
Listen carefully. It's about public policy and helping poor kids. It is not about personal attack. I know that's all you have, but I challenge you to defend Gardner's vote against collecting child support as public policy.
Listen very carefully. It was about exploiting Father's Day for partisan political purposes. Nothing more, nothing less.
It was a cheap shot and if you make cheap shots expect them in return.
Reporting on Gardner's voting record is a cheap shot.
Did he not cast that vote? Was it inaccurate, or a personal attack? Nope. Just the facts. No wonder you're so butt-hurt.
AC and Cory are just doing the obligatory lip chapping on Sheldon Adleson's asshole. Fuck those poor kids, do they donate to campaigns or something ? I didn't think so.
Gosh, thanks for that visual, HSGOP….not.
I guess some things just cannot be undone – sorry mamajama !
Still waiting on that "defend Gardner's vote against collecting child support as public policy".
Yeah because addiction, dead vets, murdered Americans are just political fodder to a POS like you.
Good one, AC! How is Jed Udall's court case coming?
Good one Moderatus ! Hey, as long as we're on the subject, how is your mom doing ?
People's children should be off limits in a campaign, you worthless scumbag. I guess IOKIYAR.
+100
Let's hope for Jed, like anyone struggling with abuse (even a respected Senator's wife) can find mercy in a courtroom and the resources for rehabilitation. (and you're an ass, Moddy).
He doesn't have any problem with childhood poverty, either. This is my diary from last Father's Day on his "leadership" in the House on their proposed $40 billion cut to the SNAP program.
