Improving the condition of the environment is something that we should all strive to do. Individually there are many things that each of us can do every day to help. To really make a difference elected officials must be taking steps towards a greener tomorrow. There is only one way to get the people that we need to do this in the office and that is by voting.
But before we can do that we must be registered to vote. Some students may be a bit confused by this process, especially if they have just moved here from another state or county, but it is very easy. All you need is to be an American citizen, have an address here in La Plata County and your school I.D. card. You can fill out a voter registration form at the information desk or voter registration table, if it is set up, in the CUB. Voter registration is also available at the DMV (305 S. Camino Del Rio) or the courthouse (1060 East 2nd Ave). Then you are ready to go in November. The deadline for registration is October 6th, so we have to get a move on.
As to who to vote for that is totally up to you. You can get great information on all of the candidates at govotecolorado.com. Also to read the individual environmental policies of the presidential candidates you can go to barackobama.com or johnmccain.com. No matter whom you vote for you must be informed on the policies of that particular candidate. The most important thing is to go out and vote and have your voice be heard.

what are the polices?
the only kinda environmental policies on the ballot is getting rid of oil and gas tax subsidies. then adding a tax to them that proposes to give this money for scholarships to community colleges.
then theres a local initiative of making the energy industry disclose well chemicals.
but besides those, what else is there on the 2008 CO ballot that speaks for the protection of the environment at the state-level?
