With a $43 million budget and 420 employees, the office of sheriff needs a person who has the business experience to handle these. The right person could save taxpayers’ money by streamlining the sheriff’s department. That person is Carl Bruning. Carl brings the kind of leadership needed to manage an organization effectively. His executive business experience and leadership experience as an U. S. Air Force officer and commander position him for success in this role.
Endorsements also say alot about a candidate. Many see the numerous qualifications Carl brings to this position. Those who see Carl’s leadership ability include: former Congressman Tom Tancredo, former Sheriff Richard Mack, former chief of police Rich Wyatt and former Nassau County Police Detective Rudy Zitti.
Those who share Carl’s love of liberty include: Colorado State Senator Kevin Lundberg, the Republican Liberty Caucus, Colonel Jim Bush (USMC, retired) and Patrick Albright.
Carl’s understanding of and dedication to the Constitution have gained the support of the Rocky Mountain Gun Owners PAC and Ray Hickman.
So please join me in making an investment in the future of Larimer County by supporting the Carl Bruning for Constitutional Sheriff campaign

Jeanette,
While I share your compassion for endorsing a candidate, I do have some pretty serious issues with Carl. Carl has yet to disclose any form of resume. All we know of him is that he spent 6 years in the Air Force. Does this qualify him as a leader of a law enforcement agency of which he has no law enforcement experience? Carl talks a lot about the second amendment and I'll even admit that is an extremely important issue, but Carl has simply failed to acknowledge any other issues. Carl wants to manage the budget, yet has not discussed how he is going to do so. He talks about being the last line of defense of the people and discusses mandating Federal Law Enforcement agencies to require his approval before a federal warrant can be executed and I'm sorry but this simply will never happen. Carl is a constitutionalists yet opposes many of the things the federal government does. I'm sorry but I can not and will not endorse a man who doesn't know what it like to be a police officer and has no idea of how a law enforcement agency needs to be run.

The Feds are far removed from the Constitution. That is problem #1 and, as Law Enforcement,you fail to reconize this. Justin has no formal Degree in Business Management and he would spend three years and $25,000.00 to get the degree that Carl has.
This election is not about Law Enforcement. It is about the People. Who wins this election will determine how the citizens will be treated for years to come. The people want a change. The leadership within the SO is poor. Turn over in personel is great. Many friends within the SO are not happy with the treatment they receive from the Leadership. If you want more of the same then by all means you are free to vote for that…. We the people may also vote in the same manner. It is sad that there is such a disconnect between Law Enforcement and the People. Pullng people over without PC is not Constitutional, but the Feds and the SO do it. Using citizens as revenue generators through citations is taking away much needed efforts in high crime Investigations. Why not concentrate more on training and personel in the Ivestigation Unit.
Why isn't the SO involved in the Multi Agency Task Force ? I know why..do you? Why did the SO back PreTrail release when PreTrial has no obligation to get the Defendants back in custody when they fail to appear? Those warrants fall onto the all ready over burdened officers. PreTrial takes away much needed money for the SO. This is not safe for the Community. Justin helped implement Pretrial in 2004.
These are just some of the things that will be addressed in this election. People deserve better and so does the SO. Carl is a fair and just man. You should get to know him he will make a world of difference in the attitude of the SO and its employees and the people. Also, read up on the Constitution.
ToriFC: What in world are you thinking. Carl doesn't even understand the constitution, yet alone business. His company was sued while he was a VP for it for misreporting sales. AND he was VP of Sales?? Not the kind of experience we need with our tax money. Frankly, the Sheriff's Office is a LAW ENFORCEMENT office. The Sheriff DOES NOT MAKE the LAWS, but by statute has enforces them. Carl should be running for a representative position so that he could change the laws that we must live under. I like how you tie the pretrial into the Sheriff's Office, sure would be nice if the Sheriff had ANYTHING TO DO with PRETRIAL! Again, your lack of knowledge explains why you vote for Carl. The Sheriff CAN'T determine when someone gets out on bond or for how much, this is done by a judge, different part of the government. The Commissioners do and can make this choice, but not the Sheriff. It is clear that you would believe what some bondsman are saying instead of listening, learning and investigating the truth. Such as the Truth about Carl and his liberal roots. But I know you don't want to confuse the issues with the facts.
