2008 CapWatch Meetings Update

In January, Representative Randy Fischer joined CEC for the Denver Kick-off. He spoke to the group about his upcoming legislation, and emphasized the critical role constituent calls and emails play in influencing their representative’s decisions!
Denver CapWatch volunteers have made education and outreach calls to fellow constituents regarding HB-1280 to "Protect Instream Flow Water Rights" and HB-1312 calling for "Transportation Investment Efficiency"

In Steamboat and Craig we held two Capitol Watch educational forums to many eager volunteers! We are excited about our growth to a new part of the state.
