Show Description


The Aaron Harber Show: Colorado Now! TM” (www.Colorado-Now.com) is a nonpartisan public affairs series providing a forum to inform citizens while simultaneously bringing people together who often are in conflict. As an initiative to restore civility to the political process, it features the State’s top opinion leaders and experts engaged in substantive and potentially transformative discussions. It will examine some of the exciting activities, projects, and developments led by a wide range of Colorado people from many backgrounds, professions, and walks of life.

Addressing the State’s critical need for a forum where issues can be debated seriously and in a civil manner, “Colorado Now” is the place citizens can turn to for accurate information. A sample of the issues being considered for inclusion are (1) The Economy & Jobs, (2) Economic Development Initiatives, (3) the Budgetary Crisis, (4) Health Care & Health Coverage, (5) Wellness, (6) K-12 Education, (7) Higher Education, (8) Vocational Education & Training, (9) Transportation, (10) Energy Resources & Development, (11) The Environment, (12) Recreation & Tourism, (13) Immigration, (14) Policies, (15) Constitutional Challenges, (16) Campaign Reform, (17) Political Campaigns, and (18) Governance.

In 2012 “Colorado Now” is combining the best elements from these successful public affairs initiatives: “Colorado Election 2010” (www.Colorado2010.com), the Truth in Political Advertising project (www.TIPAP.org), and “The Senate In Balance” (www.SenateCO.com), with a special focus on key policy issues and the 2012 Colorado General Election.

By educating citizens, “Colorado Now” will lead an effort defusing the impact of the Politics of Personal Destruction because well-informed voters will not be as susceptible to the strategies of vicious political manipulation commonly deployed today.

Guests on “Colorado Now” include the State’s top elected officials, business leaders, academic and scientific experts, special interest group representatives, Media representatives, other key players in the governance of the State as well as everyday Coloradans doing extraordinary things. The shows will engage multiple sides in rigorous debates as a mechanism to proactively involve citizens. Anticipated guests include…
