Congressman John Salazar and Congressman Mark Udall recently added an amendment to the balanced energy bill that passed overwhemingly in the US House of Representatives on August 4th. The Salazar/Udall amendment would prevent drilling on the public lands on top of the Roan Plateau. We would like to acknowledge the leadership and commitment of our Congressmen on this important issue! 

We would also like to acknowledge Senator Ken Salazar efforts in negotiating the 120 day review and comment extension for the State of Colorado on the Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) recently issued Roan plan, which will allow Governor Ritter the opportunity to officially weigh in on a topic that is important to so many Coloradans.
