Amendment 37

After several unsuccessful attempts in the State Legislature, a committed group of energy advocates thought the voters of Colorado should decide whether or not the state's largest utilities should produce more of their electricity from renewable energy sources.

Starting with a massive petition drive in August 2004, PvH Communications helped spread the word about why Amendment 37 was good for the state's environment and electricity bills. Once this question made it onto the statewide ballot, PvH Communications continued helping with everything from working the phone banks to creating an Internet T-Shirt Shop as a fund-raiser for the Yes on 37 Campaign.

The t-shirt shop raised much-needed funds for the campaign (especially considering how the opposition was made up of most of the state's largest utilities), and Amendment 37 passed by a 53%-to-47% margin. This historic campaign made Colorado the first state in the Union to have its voters approve a Renewable Electricity Standard!

"If you need quality work done yesterday, Phil is your guy. His ability to quickly turn around a project was just what we needed in the fast paced environment of an initiative campaign."

Coordinator of the Yes on 37 Campaign
