But the resolution's author, state Sen. Joyce Foster, D-Denver, said it is co-sponsored by 30 of Colorado's 35 state senators and is similar to ones overwhelmingly approved by the U.S. Senate and U.S. House.

"It's got wonderful support from both sides of the aisle," Foster said Sunday.

By Jeremy Pelzer, PolitickerCO.com Reporter

CD-6 Republican candidate Mike Coffman has returned a $500 donation from Rima Sinclair, a Republican state House District 6 candidate whose pro-Palestinian statements have angered many conservatives.

Sinclair's name also appeared prominently on an invitation asking supporters to attend a Coffman fundraiser held last week.
