Dear Friend,

For over thirty years, Colorado consumers have had an advocate working for us at the state Public Utilities Commission to keep our utility rates low. The Office of Consumer Counsel represents residential and small business customers in phone service, electric and gas cases. In the last 30 years, the OCC has helped Colorado consumers save almost $2 billion. Yes - that’s $2 BILLION.

Tell your Senator now that you want to keep the Office of Consumer Counsel around and keep your utility rates low.

Unless the Colorado Senate takes action in the next few weeks, Coloradans will lose this important watchdog--and we could pay millions more in utility charges as a direct result. The Office of Consumer Counsel’s funding is about to run out, and the Republican-controlled Senate is refusing to introduce legislation to reauthorize it.

Click here: send a message to your Colorado Senator right now urging them to reauthorize the Office of Consumer Counsel before the end of this year’s legislative session.
