Jared Polis Withdraws Fracking Lawsuit In Order To Gather More Evidence

Jared Polis Withdraws Fracking Lawsuit
FILE - In this Sept. 4, 2012 file photo, Rep. Jared Polis, D-Colo. addresses the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C. Of the four openly gay members of Congress, the two longest-serving stalwarts are vacating their seats. Instead of fretting, their activist admirers are excited about a record crop of gays vying to win seats in the next Congress _ and to make history in the process. A common denominator in all the races: neither the gay candidates nor their rivals are stressing sexual orientation, and the oft-heard refrain is, "It's not an issue." If anti-gay innuendo does surface from lower echelons of a campaign, there are swift disavowals _ even conservative candidates these days think twice about being depicted as biased against gays and lesbians.
