Colorado Sierra Club Legislative Tracker 2009

The Sierra Club Rocky Mountain Chapter takes positions on environmental legislation through the work of the Legislative Committee. As we take a position on a bill, it will be listed here along with bill information, updates and actions needed. Your voice does make a difference! When you call or write your representative about a bill, they pay attention! If you would like to receive action alerts by email, please sign up for our legislative announcement list here. We usually send out one or two alerts per week from January through May. We do not add your name to other lists unless requested.
