Another election season is being muddled by Douglas Bruce. Yes, Douglas Bruce is at it again. He is bringing us three ballot initiatives that will destroy government, as we know it. Mr. Bruce is now hiding from the Secretary of State, hiding the fact that he is one of the primary people behind these amend-ments. If passed, they will destroy our schools, and our ambulance and medical services. They would arbitrarily reverse your vote which you, the public, have voted to de-Bruce or opting out of Tabor. He knows better than you how you wish your government to be funded. The amendments would severely limit state debt, which has funded such things as road and bridge building. Taxes would be reduced, which sounds good at face value. But investment in our schools and roads would cease. You may be asked for a credit card when you call 911. The seriousness of these amendments cannot be over-stated. I will be writing articles in our next several issues to give you a more in-depth look. |

I recall a bumper sticker I once saw, "If you can read this, THANK A TEACHER." Such a simple message, yet profound in its simplicity. I haven't seen any of those bumper stickers in a long time, but I think it is high time for a "thank a teacher bumper sticker revival." Teachers could use a little appreciation, and some recognition for a job well-done. Each year they teach hundreds of children how to read and write, to add and subtract, to multiply and divide, to be polite and to play fair, to problem-solve and think critically, to take responsibility for their actions, and to be good citizens. These same teachers recognize the challenges that pull on the attentions of so many of our children...poverty, homelessness, divorce, hunger, too much TV, unemployment of parents, drug and alcohol abuse, peer influence, physical and emotional abuse, language barriers, etc. Teachers know the strength of those distractions, yet do not allow their students to use them as excuses for learning. Instead, our teachers demand academic excellence and good behavior from the students, and they do it without expecting public recognition or reward.

With the Primary Election just weeks away, my campaign committee has been quite busy. This campaign has given me a great opportunity to get to know the people that make up House District 30, and find out what their real issues, concerns and hopes are. I have met some really wonderful people who have been kind enough to share their stories and ideas with me as I work to develop a strategy that reflects the needs and the interests of the people in our community, and in Colorado as a whole.
