Honorable President Trump, Colorado Is the Epicenter of National Security Honorable President Trump, Colorado is the epicenter of national security space and the only permanent home for U.S. Space Command. We are the past, present, and future of the mission. The mission of U.S. Space Command is vital to our national security and way of living. Colorado offers an unparalleled environment that will ensure the operational success of the mission for generations to come. We are home to multiple military installations and major commands, including critical elements of the nascent U.S. Space Force, a thriving aerospace industry consisting of major prime contractors and small businesses, and groundbreaking academic and research institutions. We offer a fully-integrated ecosystem of commercial, academic, and civil space assets that support the mission and offer vital synergies. In fact, Colorado has the second- largest aerospace economy in the country with the highest density of private-sector space employees of any state. Colorado’s unmatched aerospace ecosystem produces unparalleled unity of effort, speed, and agility to guarantee a secure, stable, and accessible space domain. Colorado provides the existing command structure, base infrastructure, and communications platforms necessary to successfully host additional national security initiatives and ensure coordination of efforts without committing restrictive additional funds. We have spent decades actively and deliberately cultivating the ideal environment necessary to support the mission and its personnel. The cost of attempting to rebuild what Colorado already has will cost significant taxpayer dollars. Nestled against the Rocky Mountains with over 300 days of sunshine annually and one of the healthiest and most active states in the nation, we know that Colorado is the ideal location for military members, their families, and space professionals to live, work, and train. According to U.S. News and World Report, Colorado offers four of the five best places to live in the United States, including Colorado Springs. Colorado has all the amenities that will both attract and retain a highly educated, productive military space operations workforce. Colorado provides an exceptional environment for military veterans and retirees. More than 60,000 military members and their families reside in Colorado and approximately 400,000 veterans call the Centennial State home. We are committed to supporting our military members and their families, both in and out of the uniform. U.S. Space Command, and the space professionals and their families that support the mission, are part of our community. They are our friends, neighbors, and colleagues. We are proud to continue to be their home and hope to keep our community whole. We the undersigned strongly urge you to keep U.S. Space Command at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs, Colorado. We are the legacy site and the only permanent home of the mission.

  • April 16, 2015 Dear Legislator: Attached You Will Find a Petition
    April 16, 2015 Dear Legislator: Attached you will find a petition, signed by over 3,100 Coloradans from over 200 communities, asking you to do whatever you can to ensure that Colorado’s students benefit from our state’s nation-leading economic recovery. You will also find 600 comments and stories, conveying the impact that inadequate education funding is having on schools in Colorado – including those in your district. Please note, for your convenience the signatures are organized by city. The Coloradoans who have signed this petition seek to convey to you the urgent need to repay the debt we owe our students after years of budget cuts. They seek to remind you that there are still decisions that the legislature could make during this legislative session to increase education funding this year and for years to come. The decisions you make – or that you fail to make – in the next four weeks will have a profound impact on the quality of education available to every student in Colorado. We hope you will carefully consider the words, stories and comments attached to this letter as you help determine Colorado’s moral and fiscal path. Thank you for your service and for your attention to the future our children, our state and our economy. To: Governor Hickenlooper and Members of the 70th General Assembly: We are parents, grandparents, educators, businesspeople and community members who have a simple message for you now that Colorado’s rebounding economy is producing revenues above the TABOR limit. Keep the surplus for kids. In bad economic times, Colorado’s kids suffered well over $1 billion in cuts to education.

  • The Arc of Colorado 2019 Legislative Scorecard
    The Arc of Colorado 2019 Legislative Scorecard A Letter from Our Executive Director: Dear Members of The Arc Community, Once again, I would like to thank each of you for your part in a successful legislative session. We rely on your expertise in the field. We rely on you for our strength in numbers. For all the ways you contributed this session, we are deeply appreciative. I would like to give a special thanks to those that came and testified on our behalf; Stephanie Garcia, Carol Meredith, Linda Skafflen, Shelby Lowery, Vicki Wray, Rowan Frederiksen, and many others who I may not have mentioned here. This session was a historic one. For the first time in 75 years, one party had control of the house, senate, and governor’s office. Additionally, there were 43 new legislators! We enjoyed a productive year in which The Arc of Colorado monitored 100 bills. Of those that we supported, 92% were signed by the governor and 100% of the bills that we opposed died. This high success rate means that individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families will have more opportunity to better live, work, learn, and play in their Colorado communities, with increased support. We are excited about many of this year’s outcomes. In a very tight budget year, the Joint Budget Committee was able to free up money for 150 additional slots for the Developmental Disabilities waiver waitlist. After three years of involvement, we finally saw the passing of HB19-1194, which places restrictions on suspensions and expulsions of children from preschool, through to second grade.

  • General Assembly State of Colorado Denver
    General Assembly State of Colorado Denver August 14, 2020 Colorado Oil & Gas Conservation Commission 1120 Lincoln St #801 Denver, CO 80203 Via email: [email protected] Nearly a decade in the making, the Colorado legislature passed Senate Bill 19-181 last year, charging the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) “shall regulate oil and gas operations in a manner to protect and minimize adverse impacts to public health, safety, and welfare, the environment, and wildlife resources and shall protect against adverse impacts on any air, water, soil, or biological resources resulting from oil and gas operations.” This historic bill shifted our state focus to better prioritize health and safety as we also regulate this important industry. SB19-181 also made a significant change to the agency itself shifting the COGCC to full time members who can focus on these key issues. In the coming months, we know that your hard work will be key to implementing the legislative vision of this law. Your presence on this commission is intended to ensure fulfillment of the agency’s new mission. Truly, our constituents and local economies are relying on you, in this role, to help improve their overall wellbeing. This is no small task, which is why your expertise and willingness to join this effort makes us proud. We appreciate your support improving protections for public health, safety, and the environment. Due to the previous mission, COGCC commissioners and staff were often drawn between competing interests, often in conflict. This led to permits granted for oil and gas facilities that were not protective of public health, safety, welfare, the environment and wildlife.

  • S/L Sign on Letter Re: Rescue Plan State/Local
    February 17, 2021 U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 U.S. Senate Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Members of Congress: As elected leaders representing communities across our nation, we are writing to urge you to take immediate action on comprehensive coronavirus relief legislation, including desperately needed funding for states, counties, cities, and schools, and an increase in states’ federal medical assistance percentage (FMAP). President Biden’s ambitious $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan will go a long way towards alleviating the significant financial strain COVID-19 has placed on our states, counties, cities, and schools, and the pocketbooks of working families. Working people have been on the frontlines of this pandemic for nearly a year and have continued to do their jobs during this difficult time. Dedicated public servants are still leaving their homes to ensure Americans continue to receive the essential services they rely upon: teachers and education workers are doing their best to provide quality education and keep their students safe, janitors are still keeping parks and public buildings clean, while healthcare providers are continuing to care for the sick. Meanwhile, it has been ten months since Congress passed the CARES Act Coronavirus Relief Fund to support these frontline workers and the essential services they provide. Without significant economic assistance from the federal government, many of these currently-middle class working families are at risk of falling into poverty through no fault of their own. It is a painful irony that while many have rightly called these essential workers heroes, our country has failed to truly respect them with a promise to protect them and pay them throughout the crisis.
