Colorado Veterans Alliance

The Colorado Veterans' Alliance, a 32,000-member veterans' advocacy group, will soon be deploying new field offices across Colorado.

The Colorado Springs-based vets' group will open offices in Denver by late September, as well as regional offices in Fort Collins, Grand Junction and Lamar, said CVA President Rick Duncan, a retired Marine Captain who served three tours in Iraq.

The Denver office will be used to lobby the State Legislature when it reconvenes in January, Duncan said. The other offices will be used for advocacy, events organizing, and "to create a presence," he said.

U.S. Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-Colorado Springs) on Tuesday was again endorsed by the Club for Growth, a national anti-tax organization. 

Also on Tuesday, the Colorado Veterans' Alliance announced that the group was withdrawing from Lamborn's Veterans' Advisory Board because of the congressman's continued support of the war in Iraq.
