New York just made a monumental decision to ban fracking! After activists demanded that the health effects of fracking be studied, a two year investigation by the state's own commission confirmed what the movement has been saying all along, that fracking cannot be done safely. Now, I urge you to do the same. Hydraulic fracturing for oil and gas is a dangerous process that threatens our health and environment. I urge you to follow New York's lead and ban fracking in Colorado to protect all families from this dangerous process.

Please back President Obama's diplomatic approach to Iran. Now is not the time to undermine negotiations with calls for increased sanctions or unrealistic demands for a final deal. Don't lead us down a path that could lead to another senseless war in the Middle East.

We are calling for the immediate resignation of ALL board members and the nomination and vote of an entirely new board. We recommend one exception - and that is for the purposes of continuity, Casey Stenzel should be asked to stay on as interim treasurer. The new board can then consider if he should remain on the board in this capacity or be removed and replaced.

Dear President Obama, Thank you for calling national attention to the plight of bees and other pollinators. These important creatures are an integral part of healthy ecosystems – but they continue to die off in dramatic numbers. Your recently-announced pollinator initiative is a step in the right direction, but we need to make sure this effort results in real protections for bees. We need to ban bee-killing pesticides now! A mounting body of scientific evidence points to one class of systemic insecticides — neonicotinoids (neonics) — as a key factor in bee declines. Neonics can kill bees outright, and at sublethal doses, they impair bees’ brain function and suppress their immune systems — making them more susceptible to diseases, pests and other stressors. This problem is urgent. Beekeepers report continuing unsustainable losses and many have gone out of business. The EPA’s plan to complete its review of neonics by 2019 is not an acceptable timetable for beekeepers and our food security. I urge you to listen to the growing body of science that tells us we need to ban neonics. They are a key part of the problem and need to be tackled head on. Thank you,

Every child should get a fair shot in life. Recent studies show that kids who attend preschool not only do better in school as they grow older, they're also more likely to go to college and get a good job. At the upcoming Conference of Mayors, please lend your support to the proposal to provide a strong start to every child and build an early learning nation.

I am asking you today to publicly oppose the gas storage projects proposed for the shores of western New York's Seneca Lake—a drinking water source for 100,000 people and critical to the region's local tourist economy. You should seriously be questioning the very need for these storage facilities, and instead protecting the region’s resources and economy by developing carbon-free renewable energy in this state.

We ask that legislature include funding for the New York State Spinal Cord Injury Research Program in the budget this year.

To stop observing Daylight Saving Time (DST) in all states throughout the US in order to change over to a New Standard Time (NST). The NST consist of instead of moving the clock forward one hour in the spring to moving it up just a 1/2 of an hour and then keeping it PERMANENTLY FIXED at that time. The NST is being proposed to all states as the SET IT AND FORGET IT (SIFI) Proposition
