  John Salazar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John T. Salazar (born July 21, 1953) is a Democrat from Colorado, was elected to the United States House of Representatives in 2004, representing the state's third Congressional district (map).
Salazar served in the U.S. Army from 1973-1976, and is a farmer and rancher, raising cattle, potatos, wheat, barley, and hay.
Salazar, who grew up on his parents' farm and ranch, is concerned with conservation, particularly when it comes to water rights.

 Ken Salazar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Salazar was born in the town of Alamosa in the San Luis Valley area of south-central Colorado.
Salazar considers himself a moderate and has at times taken positions which are in disagreement with the base of his party -- for a number of years he opposed gay adoption, and during the general election he ran ads attacking Pete Coors for saying Osama bin Laden should not receive the death penalty.
On May 23, 2005, Salazar was one of fourteen moderate senators to forge a compromise on the Democrats' use of the judicial filibuster, thus blocking the Republican leadership's attempt to implement the so-called "nuclear option".

 04-2252 -- Salazar v. LeMaster -- 03/03/2005
Salazar failed to unequivocally withdraw the unexhausted claims, and the district court dismissed Salazar's petition without prejudice on March 7, 2003.
Salazar argues that any noncompliance with the statute of limitations should be excused in this case because (1) the actions of his attorney and a prison litigation coordinator delayed the filing of his state habeas petition; (2) newly-discovered evidence proves his actual innocence.
Salazar may contend that a magistrate judge gave him "bad advice" in February 2003 by suggesting to him the option of returning to state court to pursue his unexhausted claims.

 Bishop Accountability
Camp Ped is where Matthiesen found Father John Salazar, the former Los Angeles priest who not only had been caught molesting boys at an Eastside parish in the 1980s, but who had served three years in prison and was newly paroled when the bishop swooped into the retreat in 1990 and revived his career.
After the mother of one of the boys went to Salazar's superiors in 1986 upon learning that her son had been molested, she was told that it was the boy's fault -- even while she was assured that Salazar would receive "counseling" from the church.
Najera says he later told one of Salazar's Piarist superiors about the incident and that the priest "didn't want to hear it." Najera says he himself was being molested at the time by another priest at the same parish, an abuse that began when he was 12 and lasted until about age 17.

 Transcript for October 10 - Meet the Press, online at MSNBC - MSNBC.com
SALAZAR:  I will campaign with him in Colorado when he comes, but I'm not going to change my schedule just because there happens to be a candidate that comes into the state of Colorado.  You know, this race has been a seven-month race between Pete and me.  We have a very, very heavy schedule.
SALAZAR:  The changes that relate to roving wiretaps, the changes related to the sneak and peek provisions of the Patriot Act.  Those are changes that we ought to make and there is a bipartisan coalition, Republicans and Democrats, that say that we need to have that kind of fine-tuning with the Patriot Act.
SALAZAR:  Well, Pete, the truth is basically what Tim just articulated in the spots that you saw from USA Today, other people that have done a calculation of your proposals, and they show that you would take our deficit and increase it by $6 trillion.  I think that's irresponsible...
