Project Censored (from Sonoma State University, CA) named a story on space weaponization by Bruce as the 8^th Most Censored story in 1999.

He has worked to help build support for the Jeju Island issue for many years.

From 2003-2020 Bruce hosted a public access TV show called This Issue that ran in 17 Maine communities. The covid epidemic cancelled the show.

In 1968 Bruce was Vice-chair of the Okaloosa County (Florida) Young Republican Club while working on the Nixon campaign for president. He grew up in a military family and attended military run schools on Air Force bases.

Bruce is a Vietnam-era Air Force veteran and became a peace activist while in the military. He began his organizing career by working for the United Farm Workers Union in Florida organizing fruit pickers.
