On the Issues

http://coloradoindependent.com/45548/grassroots-candidate-ken-buck-confident-enough-not-to-pander- Buck said that the nation needs to move away from its use of oil as its top energy source. He believes the country needs a “smart energy policy” that includes nuclear, natural gas and renewable energy sources. In terms of healthcare legislation, he is not in favor of repeal. “I think there are parts…such as electronic medical records-that are worthwhile.”

Jim DeMint of the Senate Conservatives Fund states that Buck supports all of their issues, such as supporting the balanced-budget amendment, opposing earmarks, repeal of Obama-care, supports terms-limits, and is pro-life, pro-gun and pro-family.

http://buckforcolorado.com/energy-independence-0 - Buck states that although the transfer of wealth to the oil-producing world must stop, cap-and-trade is not the answer. Practical energy alternatives must be pursued; however, we must be practical: energy demands will not be met with windmills and solar panels in the near term. For now, we must expand traditional energy sources in our country, including stepping up drilling and looking into nuclear power.
