	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".

	Ken Salazar for U.S. Senate (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Salazar is a salt-of-the-earth choice if ever there was one, and not only because he looks like he was born in his cowboy hat.
		Salazar wants the United States to see through and succeed in its mission, but he questions President Bush's management of the war and he would support John Kerry's effort to get other countries involved in ending the conflict and rebuilding the country.
		Some Democrats criticize Salazar for his middle-of-the-road approach, but it reflects cornerstone Colorado values, and his ability to work closely and cordially with Republicans and independents is a definite plus in a state that is split three ways.

		Salazar’s parents hoped that giving their children Anglo first names might help them escape the discrimination of the 1950s and ’60s, but Ken recalls how teachers at Centauri High School refused to induct him into the National Honor Society during his senior year in 1973.

		Salazar’s speech was among a dozen events recently held in honor of the CU-Health Sciences Center’s Diversity Week.

		Even in the 1978 Bakke case, which in one sense was a setback to the diversity push because it illegalized rigid quotas in college admissions, the justices wrote that “education has a compelling state interest for diverse student bodies,” he said.
