"The Colorado House of Representatives pays tribute to the efforts and tireless work of the Anti-Defamation League and their continued fight against anti-Semitism, racism, and all forms of bigotry.   Since 1913 the Anti-Defamation League has worked through various conduits including education, legislation, and advocacy to fight all manner of discrimination.  The ADL scrutinizes and exposes extremist hate groups through educational programs in order to dispel stereotypes and foster respect for diversity.  In recognition of their service to all citizens, the members of the Colorado House of Representatives extend sincere appreciation to the Anti-Defamation League."
