Colorado CD4, Medicare and Medicaid, Voting Women's Health

Lineup for September 1, 2012

All seats in the US House of Representatives are up for election every two years. Incumbent Representative Cory Gardner and Colorado Senator Brandon Shaffer are invited to debate the issues they think are important. As of this posting only one has confirmed his intent to participate, so we may go up to the the bumper music before we know who joins us on air.

Lots of distractions, but there a a couple of key factors that tell us whose side candidates are on with Medicare and Medicaid. Bell Policy Center Analyst Bob Semro wraps up our discussion.

Which candidates stand with women, and who stands in the way of their rightful access to health care and family planning? Planned Parenthood Votes Colorado's Vicki Cowart gives us the play list.

ORR is On Air at 2:00 p.m. MDT so tune in at 1310 in northern Colorado or stream at http://www.1310kfka.com .

After today's show I go walkabout for the duration of UNC Bears fall football, so follow @openrangeradio on twitter or check in to openrangeradio.us for updates.

Justice, Medicare, Space and Earth's Future

Lineup for August 18, 2012

Late Fort Lupton native Ricardo Falcon is remembered today in a memorial march and dedication to continue work toward justice. Reports. 
Updating: Nelson Rodriguez and Daniel Salcido are planning to call in. Here are a couple photos from the beginning of the march (clearly illustrating why I am a radio host, not a photographer!)

Fact checking the Medicare debate: what it is now and what is proposed are not always what we are being told. Bell Policy Center Policy Analyst Bob Semro helps us see through some of the fog.

Forever students, Bob Stack and I started a conversation before Curiosity landed on Mars. Today he joins us to continue our talk about how we are learning more about Mars, and why Curiosity is good for you. Things like the International Space Station to look up and see, too! We also will touch on diverse visions for the future of space exploration.
