It's on!
After tonight's primary we now know that previously failed senate candidate Ken Buck will run against Democrat Vic Meyers for the House seat being vacated by Cory Gardner. Buck is stridently anti-abortion with no exceptions, favors privatizing Social Security, has a track record of ethics problems and during his tenure as DA has been spanked by the state supreme court. And the Tea Party loves him.
The bumper sticker pictured references the rape case he refused to prosecute, even though the rapist confessed; Buck said the woman merely had a case of "buyer's remorse".
Here's the contact information for Vic Meyers. He's been canvassing the district for a year. He's a very good man, I'm proud to know him, and very proud to support him in this race. We deserve representation in Congress and it's been a while since we've had any. We need Vic. Please visit his website. Donate if you can. Knock doors if you can. Make phone calls if you can.
