Some stories of interest:
Preventive reproductive health care pays off
Conservative Pundit Fail
How's this for pollution: Their GodD$#% water is on fire!...makes you distrust it when Shell oil tries to reassure you: Shell official confirms thirsty nature of oil shale, denies push to ‘corner water market’
On Being A Better Democrat
Interviewing Minuteman Project's founder, KOA news anchors did not identify his organization's links to white supremacists...why is no one willing to talk about the right wing's ties to actual hate groups?
Four-Corners Tree Die-Off Tied To Global Climate Change Drought
Oil giants have “cornered the market” on Western Slope water rights, study says...this doesn't bode well for Colorado's drinking water. And more on the same issue: More evidence oil and gas development is contaminating drinking water
Ethics panel set to hand down ruling on former Colorado Secretary of State Coffman allegations
Climate Change: IPCC Update and Effects on the U.S.
Bureau of Land Management is about to offer up another set of parcels for auction for oil and gas leases...we don't really need more environmental destruction and more carbon dioxide emissions and more threats to our drinking water. We need a NEW energy policy based on 21st century technology.
Speaking of which: Boulder county is looking at new rules that will make it easier for homeowners to install small wind turbines...and why wind power is good for our economy as well as our energy needs: A thousand people turned up for a job fair in Pueblo for 400 manufacturing jobs with Vestas to make wind turbines.
Colorado's stimulus money can be tracked here, and here...we really want transparency when it comes to where this money goes.

COLORADO FOOD CO-OPS
It took nearly 7 years living within a few blocks of one of the biggest food co-ops in America before Joy and I joined it. We were definitely reluctant. But, in the end the lack of good produce and the decline of our local supermarkets led to us joining. And the result is a slighly more inconvenient shopping trip each week, but much healthier, higher quality and cheaper food. I recommend joining a co-op if there is one nearby. You will save money and eat healthier. So I will list some local food co-ops in Colorado:
Valley Food Co-op

Durango Natural Foods

This is one of the best sounding co-ops I have come across because it coordinates producers with consumers online and provides delivery. THIS is how a 21st Century food co-op.
Modeling from the Oklahoma Food Cooperative and the Nebraska Food Cooperative the High Plains Food Coop is a grassroots network of High Plains and Rocky Mountain Front Range producers and consumers uniting interests in locally grown food and other locally made products. The High Plains Food Cooperative strives to be a business that is environmentally sustainable, economically viable, and socially just. To foster a local food community and promote a culture of stewardship by cultivating farmer-consumer relationships, promoting the enjoyment of healthful food, increasing food security through diversity, and enhancing overall rural sustainability. We bring the farmer's market to your front door.
Once you join, you can order online and they deliver! The Online Food Market is intended to bring fresh, healthy, locally grown and produced food to you, the buyer, in a cost-effective and easy manner. Product selection will vary by season. While many of our producers are organic, we also support the sustainable practices of the small non-certified farmer. We believe in the quality and freshness of foods and whether food is produced in an ethical and sustainable manner.
In summary, you'll use the computer to purchase fresh, local produce and other locally produced goods in quantities you can use.
Producers can also sell their products through this co-op.

Here are some other groups and events in Colorado:
Progressive Majority Colorado: According to the Almanac of American Politics, Colorado is "at the front edge of economic, cultural and political change." Unfortunately for progressives, the political change that's occurred since the 1990's has come in the form of right-wing politics — dominated by religious and social conservatives who have, in turn, soured the national political debate.
This is truly a state where we are at a stand off — one side wins and one side loses — and who wins can shape the electoral mood of the country.
That's why Progressive Majority set up shop in Colorado — to bring true progressives into politics and create positive change that would last. We're recruiting progressive leaders to run for office who can also galvanize progressive voters who have been shut down by the loud voices of the ultra-conservative right.
Colorado remains a battleground state despite its vocal right-wing movement. It hasn't been won in the last two presidential elections, but Democrats have fared better at the state level — including winning slim margins in both the House and the Senate in 2004. Now, Progressive Majority is tapping an emerging demographic that leans progressive, recruiting candidates they can connect to, and building a progressive power base that will take control of the state — and keep it.
Progressive Majority has leadership programs, and helps progressive candidates run successful and efficient campaigns. Sign up for email updates here.

Colorado chapter of National Stonewall Democrats—a grassroots network connecting LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) Democratic activists through over 90 Stonewall chapters throughout the United States.
Colorado Café Scientifique in Denver: The Café Scientifique idea started in England a few years ago, based on the French Café Philosophique. In the Café Scientifique, people (often science buffs) come together in a friendly pub after work and hear an informal (no PowerPoint!) introduction to an interesting current scientific topic, led by an expert. We take a short break for refreshments, to meet new people, and chat, and then we return for questions and answers and general discussion. All questions and comments are welcome, as this isn't a seminar, it's a chance for all of us to express an opinion, expert or otherwise.
We meet at the Wynkoop Brewing Company. Check the website for upcoming events. We start at 6:30 PM in the large & comfortable first floor Mercantile Room and go to approximately 8:00 PM. Because we have been getting large crowds, it isn't practical to serve meals at the tables. We invite you to come early and get dinner in the regular restaurant, or wait until we're through (about 8 PM) and eat then. The Wynkoop's food is great! There is bar service throughout the session, and the Wynkoop people have generously offered to provide snacks for our guests. Café Scientifique meetings are FREE. The Wynkoop is generously providing the facility; we buy our own food and drinks. Seating is limited, and the event is popular, so you may want to arrive around 6 PM to be sure of getting a seat.
