06/16/2008	RESOLUTION HJR 1007
THIS OFFICIAL COPY OF THE HOUSE JOURNAL PROVES DOUGLAS BRUCE DID NOT VOTE AGAINST VETERANS, AS HIS POLITICAL OPPONENTS CLAIMED.
03/14/2008	THE BOY BEHIND A CAPITOL IDEA
Green, D-Golden, said of someone so young calling her about state business. “I gave him a little job. I told him I wanted to get a petition going ... I wanted to get some signatures on the petition.”
03/06/2008	Colorado House Joint Resolutions
03/06/2008	Colorado Senate Joint Resolutions
02/20/2008	Resolutions are nice, but they’re not real support
As an Iraq war veteran, I would like to commend Rep. Douglas Bruce for his stand against symbolic resolutions and other wastes of the Legislature`s time.
02/20/2008	GOP Reaction to Vote Pure Grandstanding
State House Minority Leader Mike May`s grandstanding and hysterical reaction, kicking Rep. Douglas Bruce off the military committee, is despicable.
02/19/2008	Lawmakers can honor vets by working on their behalf
If our distinguished legislators in Denver really want to show true patriotism and concern for military people, they wouldn’t waste valuable time declaring Bruce a traitor and spoiler over an empty resolution. Instead, they should actively fight for the rightfully earned benefits of veterans and military retires in Colorado.
02/19/2008	Email from Ed Vigil
As a Veteran who fought in the jungles of Viet Nam and Cambodia, I want to thank you for the effort you have placed on helping us veterans.
02/18/2008	Email from Anson Rohr
As a Desert Storm veteran, I fully support Rep. Douglas Bruce. He is absolutely correct that the business of the legislature is protecting the interests of the people of Colorado, not empty statements of "support" from legislators who lie about their professed love of the military.
02/17/2008	You`re fired, Rep. Bruce (2nd op-ed)
Rep. May, the General Assembly isn`t your high school student council. It`s not a popularity contest, in which the self-styled cool kids conquer the nerds. It`s government, where politicians get to oppose symbolic fashion statements.
02/15/2008	Bruce simply wants to stick to important issues
I don`t need a ceremonial legislature — I want someone who understands my priorities and sticks to the issues.
02/15/2008	Rep. Bruce and the feel-good mob
Like most Americans, Bruce respects and admires the brave men and women who work in our military. What he doesn`t like are resolutions that serve no purpose other than validating groupthink.
01/25/2008	Anti-turtle Vote (1st op-ed)
It’s too bad Bruce stood alone, and that other legislators weren’t willing to give students a very important lesson: Frivolous requests for state sanction of turtles, bugs and songs should always be dismissed.
