Show Summary – Western Skies #137–
August 10, 2006
LAMBORN WILL FACE FAWCETT IN COLORADO'S HOUSE DISTRICT FIVE
After the bruising Republican primary in House District 5, party leaders
hold a unity rally in Colorado Springs. We hear from primary winner Doug
Lamborn, and his Democratic opponent, Jay Fawcett. [LISTEN]
DEMS CALL FOR PAUSE IN DRILLING IN COLORADO ROADLESS AREAS
Both Senator and Representative Salazar ask the federal government to wait
until the state's Roadless Areas Task Force finish its work before auctioning
the oil and gas drilling rights to roadless lands in Colorado. And we hear
from a local hunting guide who says the Bush energy policy is undermining
his job, and his support for the president. [LISTEN]
REMEMBERING SGT. JAMES P. MULDOON
Just a month before he was to come home on leave, Ft. Carson soldier Sgt.
James P. Muldoon was killed in action in Iraq. We take you to his memorial
service, where his commander talks about Muldoon's selfless service. [LISTEN]
GUERILLA BOOK CLUB MARKETING
Boulder Author John Shores made a painful discovery after the publication
of his first book, "Beneath a Marble Sky." Just because you get published,
doesn't mean your book is going to sell, or even that your publisher will
spend much money marketing it. So the 37 year old is taking things into
his own hands, reaching out to the hundreds of informal book clubs that
have sprung up across the country. Almost by accident, he's writing a new
chapter in book marketing. [LISTEN]
