"A wise and frugal government which shall restrain men
from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government."
(Thomas Jefferson)

NRSC Launches New Colorado TV Ad, “Challenges”

We were shocked when Gov Ritter appointed Michael Bennet who at the time was Superintendent of Denver Public Schools to replace Salazar. We are not too sure how he got that job except as a political reward. Bennet served two years as Denver Mayor Hickenlooper's Chief of Staff so he went from Chief of Staff to Superintendent of DPS?

Now Hickenlooper is running for Governor and Bennet was appointed to fill the Senate seat of Salazar who is the Obama Energy Secretary and has done a really poor job especially with the Gulf Oil Spill and fallout for starters.  Doesn't look like to us that Bennet was cut out to be Superintendent of DPS as fast as he took the job as a Senator and announced he would run for election.

Now the voters of Colorado have a chance to send Republican Ken Buck to the Senate who will represent and listen to his constituents versus the Obama supporter Bennet who is fully on board the Obama agenda in the Senate. Bennet scored an '8' conservative voting record in 2009 after replacing Salazar. His Democrat counterpart in the Senate had a '16' voting record in 2009. No wonder the people we have met in Colorado are fed up with their Senators. Parts of Colorado may be more liberal but most of that State doesn't come close to being that liberal.

Ken Buck needs the support and votes of 'Common Sense' people from Colorado to send a message to the President -- no more liberal agenda! 

NRSC Launches New Colorado TV Ad, “Challenges"
Monday, October 25, 2010 @ 01:10 PM

The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) announced a new independent expenditure television advertisement in Colorado today, entitled “Challenges,” highlighting Governor Ritter’s appointed U.S. Senator Michael Bennet’s (D-CO) record of rubberstamping President Obama’s reckless spending agenda in Washington.
....

NRSC Press Secretary Amber Marchand issued the following statement today:

“While our nation suffers from an economic crisis and burdensome unemployment, Coloradans can’t afford appointed Senator Michael Bennet, who has helped his party ram through reckless spending, out-of-control debt, and job-killing tax hikes in Washington. Voters in Colorado deserve a U.S. Senator who will fight for their best interests – not another rubberstamp for President Obama’s costly partisan agenda, which has failed to create jobs while driving our national debt past $13.6 trillion.”
"CHALLENGES" Ad from the NRSC in CO Senate Race:

Meet Ken Buck, Republican Candidate for US Senate from Colorado

The grassroots choice for Colorado
I became a candidate for the U.S. Senate because

of my growing concern about the direction the new
Administration and new Congress are taking our country.

When we first started looking at the Colorado Senate race between Jane Norton and Ken Buck in the Republican primary, we knew they were both very good candidates. The more we looked at Ken Buck the more we realized that here was a man from Greeley, Colorado, a prosecutor, and someone who understood the values of Middle America having grown up in small town America.  The words at the top of the website about the grassroots choice for Colorado rang true. 

What Buck was saying on the campaign trail is what we were thinking about what was happening in DC.  Ken Buck doesn't waiver in his beliefs and as he has said many times, he will not compromise his beliefs.  After watching his introduction to all of us, we became more convinced he is by far the best candidate for Colorado to send to the Senate on November 2nd. 




Ken Buck's latest ad says all you need to know about that race. Voters of Colorado have a chance to send Ken Buck to the Senate who will represent them or return Bennet who was appointed to represent Obama and Reid. That should be an easy choice.

If you can help Ken Buck's campaign in Colorado during this last week, please contact his campaign at BuckforColorado.com/Volunteer and be part of sending Ken Buck to the United States Senate from Colorado or contact your local Republican Party. Make telephone calls, walk precincts, and donate are all things individuals can do to help elect Ken Buck. Most importantly go VOTE to send Ken Buck to the Senate.
