 Bill Ritter for Governor of Colorado (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.netlab.uky.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Colorado has a diverse and colorful history and Bill Ritter is the ideal candidate to take that heritage to a new level in the 21st Century.
Colorado is fortunate to have a man running for governor who believes that justice, tolerance and mercy are not mutually exclusive.
I urge all Colorado voters to closely observe the candidates in debates and other public forums, and ask themselves this question: "Which candidate is truly speaking from the heart and not from notes outlining the party line?" I believe that the answer, like Bill's vision for Colorado, will be crystal clear.

With Governor Evans on the bandwagon, federal legislation was passed that created the Union Pacific Railroad Company; yet this legislation did not become the catalyst for rail construction its supporters hoped it would be.
Governor Evans arranged for the election of constitutional convention delegates, and oversaw five days of deliberation.

At 35, he holds the second-highest office in the state of Colorado, and is one of the youngest and highest-ranking Black elected officials in the nation.
If the governor thought the young man he tapped for the state's No. 2 spot would sit quietly in his office and only emerge for ceremonial purposes, he was quickly disabused of that notion.

 04-27-05 Governor Proclaims Colorado Trauma
DENVER – Governor Bill Owens has proclaimed May as Colorado Trauma Awareness Month, a time to recognize the contributions of the state’s nearly 6,000 emergency medical service providers and to elevate public awareness of ways to improve public health by reducing the impact of trauma in Colorado.
Considering that about 30,000 Coloradans annually are admitted to the hospital due to injury, this informatively preventive component of Colorado Trauma Awareness Month is as beneficial to the people of Colorado as is allocating sufficient resources to emergency medical services.
Nearly two-thirds of deaths among Coloradans ages 34 and younger are due to injury, according to the governor’s proclamation, and unintentional injuries are the collective leading cause of death and disability for Americans ages 44 and younger.

 American Civil Liberties Union : ACLU Says Colorado Governor’s Veto of Emergency Contraception Legislation Puts ...
DENVER -- The American Civil Liberties Union today denounced a decision by the Governor of Colorado to veto legislation that would have allowed women to obtain emergency contraception (EC) directly from a pharmacist without needing a doctor’s prescription.

In a recent report by the Guttmacher Institute, Colorado ranked 40th in its efforts to help women avoid unintended pregnancy, and attempts over the last several years have been unsuccessful at expanding access to EC.
