John Hickenlooper: 51st State Initiative: I got the message on secession

John Hickenlooper: TBD Colorado: share your vision and priorities for our state

Like the Colorado Blueprint, TBD Colorado will focus on listening and not imposing top-down, government-driven solutions. Coloradans will be invited to share their vision and priorities for our state. In the sense that entrepreneurs try to find solutions to the needs and challenges of society, TBD Colorado will seek to tap that same spirit that exists, in part, in all of us in Colorado.

We all have the capacity for creativity and personal reinvention. We all have the capacity to contribute to our communities . and to make Colorado the best state in the nation.
