You are not speaking for Coloradans. I am ashamed to know that about you. You too, should feel ashamed.

I am very happy that you have taken the initiative and expressed your disappointment in AG Suthers and his actions regarding the health care reform issue. I am a resident of Colorado who absolutely believes in the bill and absolutely opposes AG Suthers and this politically motivated move against health care reform. I hope that AG Suthers listens to this sage advice and removes Colorado from this rediculas lawsuit. Bravo!

]]> Comment on Gov. Ritter Welcomes New Solar-Leasing Firm Sunrun to Colorado by FreeCleanSolar http://blog.coloradodems.org/2009/10/gov-ritter-welcomes-new-solar-leasing-firm-sunrun-to-colorado/comment-page-1/#comment-293 FreeCleanSolar Fri, 16 Oct 2009 17:34:01 +0000 http://blog.coloradodems.org/?p=532#comment-293 Anything that promotes the adoption of solar energy should be applauded. Leasing is one option that makes sense for some homeowners, but it has some drawbacks. Notably, the savings are significantly less compared to other purchase methods, there could be balloon payments, it requires a very high credit score, and there could be complications upon a sale of the property. A property sale requires the new owner to sign a leasing contract or a balloon payment for the current contract. If you are worried about the upfront cost for solar panels, there are many financing programs available to homeowners with good credit. Some loans are tax-deductible too. Buying the system outright will generate the greatest savings. To learn more about solar costs, savings benefits and financing , then visit <a href="http://freecleansolar.com" rel="nofollow">FreeCleanSolar.com</a>. You can also search a nationwide network of 300 local solar installers and find information about state solar rebates and federal tax credits. The bottom line is that many home and business owners can afford and save with solar power today. Anything that promotes the adoption of solar energy should be applauded.

It will save the tax payer billions of dollars and they would have much better care than we have now. I do not know how any office holder can be against saving us billions of dollars and giving us all quality health care during this time when so many people have no jobs and no health care coverage.

One of the 2 no votes changed their mind and is now a co-sponsor of HB 1273, the Colorado Guaranteed Health Care Act. HB 09-1273 seems to be within one vote of passing the Colorado house. In 2006 and in 2008, California passed similar legislation only to be vetoed by the California Governor.

The best solution of a single-payer, private provider national health care system is evident by the overwhelming empirical body of knowledge and research that supports such an approach. When we have more political leadership from people like yourself, politically feasibility is no longer an issue. Please make this a part of your legacy. There are millions of stories like the single mom that you referred to if you will continue to listen. Sincerely, John Valvano Thank you Congresswoman DeGette for getting the problem right.
