Back in the Saddle Again,
Out where a friend is a friend ...

Lineup for Saturday December 10, 2011

Bell Policy Center President Wade Buchanan opens with some new ways to consider financing higher education, among other topics.

We the People. Hear that before? How about We the Corporations? Not so much? Good!! Daniel Williams joins us in showing the importance of people, not conceptual constructs, determining our future. Move to Amend is on the job.

Hungry? If that is not your choice Weld Food Bank can help. Assistant Director Bob O'Connor tells how all of us can help, if only a little bit. Is some better than none? I think so.

Finally, stay in school. Help a kid stay in school. Hear from some young folks who are making a commitment to keeping kids in school. This is a high risk investment with a nearly unlimited return. The Man calls these kids "At Risk." Can we please call them "With Hope?" Let's all find out how we - all of us have to commit - can improve the odds of success from Ruzan Mistry and Jose Serrano. Real people. Real work. Wow.

Tune in. It's good for you.

Cheers!
Ken

Occupy Something!
Lineup for October 15, 2011

It's rare to get an afternoon to talk about anything important during college football season, but here we are.

Sen. Rollie Heath on Proposition 103 - Colorado still has a 50% high school dropout rate. Proud of that? Or shall we restore funding for education?

Occupations Around the World - Northern Colorado
Jeannie Hartley, Occupy Denver; Daniel Williams, Occupy Fort Collins; Corey Dyben, Occupy Greeley. Sorry, but we just won't have time for the 800-plus manifestations planned around the world Saturday.

Rhonda Solis - remember her?! - and Marilena Ortega representing Hispanic Women of Weld County, building community from a strong foundation.

Tune in at the usual time!
