07/15/2010 Westword Letter
Thank you, Douglas Bruce, for all of the work you have done to control the "out of control" spending of our state government. You are a hero to all of us, even though you don’t hear that very often; I admire your courage and tenacity.
02/10/2010 Douglas Bruce, the ‘hero’
Bruce is a private citizen. He is a champion and hero of taxpayers both locally and statewide. He is free to hire petition gatherers for any cause he wants, free to allow the use of his rental property to anybody he wants, and he does not have to answer to Barry Noreen or The Gazette for any of it.
12/26/2009 Well wishes for Bruce
I for one, am enthusiastic with Mr. Bruce. He is an outstanding patriot who cares about our Colorado Springs life, liberty and the pursuit of “low taxes.”
04/17/2009 Tea Party - SIGN UP HERE
I am a HUGE fan of yours and respect you MORE than any other politician out there. I hold you right up there with Ronald Reagan (a very high honor that no one else has achieved).
08/09/2008 Email from Carlene Jelovchan
There are few politicians these days who can be compared to our founding fathers, and you sir are one of them.
03/16/2008 Email from Mr. K. Mario McNeill
The purpose of my email is to say thank you for standing on your morality! If one was to step on my family bible, regardless to their intention, I too would be extremely upset.
03/15/2008 Email from Mark Lusardi
As a family man living in America over the years I dreamed that someday a statesman such as your self would arise and lead the charge against our innately corrupt government..
03/15/2008 Many in area still support tax-cutting legislator
There`s a clear reason why his detractors must use rather childish measures against him. I say the TABOR fan club is alive and well hereabouts.
03/07/2008 Email from Richard Sisco
You`re an inspiration to me much like Jesus, Ronald Reagan, & the Beatles. Thank you.
02/25/2008 Email from Joe Maus
Rep. Bruce has an exceptionally consistent background of not wanting to waste a single taxpayer`s cent. "Resolutions" almost without exception are wastes of taxpayer funds.
02/22/2008 Email from Don Wrege
As an objective listener outside of your representation, allow me to offer that I, for one, found the way Dan Caplis in particular has treated you on the air to be somewhat disrespectful bordering on insulting.
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.
02/19/2008 Email from Steve Burk
So, good luck to you up there in the Capitol and thanks again for all you`ve done for us `out here`. TABOR was a stroke of genius, and it`s appreciated by everyone...except Liberals... which makes it even all the better.
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.
02/15/2008 Email from Lorrie Lunnon
I would like to SHAKE YOUR HAND, for NOT adding your name to the resolution I.E. recognition of the Army, Navy and Marine men and women... You did NOT dishonor or disgrace them in any way...
02/15/2008 Email from Lois Wise
I hope you had a chance to view today`s Colorado Springs Gazette - the editorial page as well as letters to the editor. I know you have a great deal of support, and today`s comments only add to the fact that many agree with you.
02/15/2008 Email from KEVIN W KELLEY
I`m a retired AF officer in Colorado Springs and have been a supporter of yours for years. I want to let you know that I still support your efforts to trim government waste, both of money and time.
02/15/2008 Email from James Castrodale
As a veteran (USMC) and part of the "Christian right" group I would just like to say that they (resolutions) ARE a ridiculous waste of time and money (you are on the clock).
02/15/2008 Email from Larry Miller
02/14/2008 Email from Col. Phillip Rose, Retired
I agree with you for not supporting ceremonial or other non-substantive legislation regardless for whom it was proposed - its a waste of our government`s time and effort -
02/14/2008 Email from John Sunderman
As a veteran and retired military member, I understand your reasoning and wholeheartedly support your position--and I`m not offended as some would easily be.
02/14/2008 Email from David G. Olson
If the House chamber was "filled with members of our Armed Forces," a simple acknowledgment of their presence should have been sufficient, unless there is a move afoot to intentionally discredit Mr. Bruce by calling for a vote on such a useless resolution.
02/13/2008 Email from Stephen Turner
Sir, I read about your no vote on the veterans resolution. I`m a veteran and I support your assertion that government has more important things to do then make resolutions.
02/06/2008 Precinct 208 Resolution
Here is the Resolution that passed overwhelmingly (only one vote against) in our Precinct tonight
02/02/2008 Email From the Mayor of Roseville, MN
My take is that it is in rather poor taste for a photographer to be snapping shots during prayer. I am a photographer and doing something like this just wouldn`t even cross my mind. It is sad to see that this photographer seems to have absolutely no values.
01/26/2008 Has Public Lynching Returned to Colorado?
Let us not forget that this (Douglas Bruce`s) same backbone-and persistence over three election cycles-gave us the TABOR. Were there more good citizens like Douglas Bruce.
01/26/2008 God bless you Doug
I suppose the Colorado assembly thinks in retrospect , you should have put your arm around the photographer and read him a bedtime story huh? My heart just bleeds for this idiot.
01/25/2008 Email From Gary Whiting
I can`t get past the total disrespect shown by the likes of Steve King, Romanoff, etc., towards God, the "prayer time," and particularly those of you who take prayer seriously.
01/17/2008 BULLIES AND HYPOCRITES IN THE HOUSE
Judging from what I have read in the papers, I am appalled at the lengths to which the House will go to attempt to embarrass, humiliate, and bully you, Douglas Bruce!
01/16/2008 Letter to John Andrews From Anson Rohr
This state owes a great deal to Mr. Bruce, and yet, when he needed help from his fellow Conservatives, they turned out to be more afraid of bad press, than the spectre of a legislature infested with liberals.
01/02/2008 Email from Deb and Tim Wittner
We are truly sad to see you go and uneasy about the future of our town, left in the hands of the thieves that currently run it, now that we won`t have you.
11/16/2007 Letter From Mike Farcy
I received quite an education during the three hours I spent in the hearing room this morning. I think what I saw and heard was that the county is several million dollars in the hole for the year and yet approved spending $3.0m, is that what they really did?
11/01/2006 You definitely resemble our country`s founding fathers
How City Council can keep a straight face when telling of all that we benefit from their "leadership" leaves out some things of concern to me. For one, I'd like to see bidding employed on a much larger scale such as when selecting employees for jobs in the city and county governments.
10/27/2006 Re: Of Collectivistic Mice and Individualistic Men
I've known Douglas since 1987, longer than most Coloradans, and have worked with him closely in many of his campaigns, causes and accomplishments. I vicariously weathered the incessant, scummy, scurrilous and unfair, many times illegal and immoral attacks on him by the Denver City government concerning his Denver properties, in retribution for his limit government successes, and saw him railroaded into a brief Denver Jail stay for a blatantly staged Contempt of Court charge.
10/23/2006 Of Collectivistic Mice and Individualistic Men
Douglas Bruce may be the closest any of us will ever come to the experience of knowing the likes of Thomas Paine, John Hancock, Samuel Adams, George Mason, George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, James Madison, and some of the other notable Founders.
