URGENT: Hard choices and Colorado’s budget: make your voice heard this Saturday!

As you know, the state of Colorado is facing a major budget crisis in the coming fiscal year. Difficult choices must be made to protect--or sacrifice--essential services we all take for granted every day. Tomorrow, Saturday March 19th, many Colorado state representatives and senators will fan out across the state to hear from constituents, and understand your concerns and ideas ahead of budget debates at the Capitol later this month.
