Governor unsure what to do with protesters

Denver (AP) -- Gov. John Hickenlooper says he isn't sure what
legal options the state has to deal with protesters who have camped
out at the state capitol protesting corporate greed. Hickenlooper told KOA-AM radio on Tuesday that he is concerned about the illegal encampment on state property but didn't indicate that he was prepared to order the state patrol to clear out the park. Patrol officials said Sunday that they had no plans to remove the campers and tents. Hickenlooper says he supports rights to free speech but he has concerns about the camp. He says he is worried it will set a precedent for future protests.

    Send them to Aspen where the Super rich reside. He should make sure they bring their own bags.

    Give em Bill Ritter and John Salazar's address and explain to them that they are the ones who wrecked Colorado's economy with their explicit support of the green energy scam and Obummercare.

        My position on public property does not mean I support the OWS but I defend their right to gather.

The Digital TV Transition

Temporarily Unavailable - ID: 8708137

What You Need to Know

TV sets that currently receive programming through cable or satellite are not likely to be affected by the transition to digital. However, TV sets that rely on "over the air" broadcasting with an antenna (set-top or rooftop) to receive a signal will be affected by the cutoff of analog broadcasts in 2009. You will need to consider one of the following options:
  • Purchase a digital-to-analog converter box that plugs into an existing television. The boxes, which are expected to cost between $50 - 70 will be available for purchase in 2008. Beginning on January 1, 2008, U.S. households can request up to two coupons valued at $40 each. Each coupon can go toward the purchase of a single set-top converter box that will allow you to continue watching FREE "over-the-air" television on an analog set. CLICK HERE for more information.
  • Subscribe to a cable, satellite or telecommunications service provider if all desired local broadcast stations are carried by that service.
  • Purchase a new television set with a built in digital tuner. Any of these steps will ensure that "over-the-air" television consumers will continue to receive programming.
