| ISSUE | POSITION |
|---|---|
| War |
I'm against war. As a veteran I know how bad it is. Read more. |
| Nuclear Proliferation | There are too many risks with our current system. Read more. |
| Economics and Environment |
Bob Kinsey supports building sustainable infrastructure, tax incentives for wind power, organic agriculture, safe ranching practices, and mass transit, instead of huge tax breaks for rich corporate executives. We must rejoin the rest of the world in planning an economy that does not harm our world. |
| Health Care |
Bob Kinsey supports single payer health care for every citizen through private care and public insurance, without cost increase. In addition, restoring a clean and safe environment will help to prevent illness and improve quality of life. Read more. |
| Nuclear Power |
The inclusion of nuclear power as a part of the Denver Climate Action Plan is ill-advised. Read more. |
| Sustainable Agriculture |
Big business priorities of the dominant parties are hurting family food producers and lowering the quality of organic standards. We need policies that support small farmers and organic growers sustaining the health of their land. |
| National Security |
Preemptive war and unilateral action are not smart security. Instead, they paint a bull's-eye on our nation. The Bush Administration promoted the Iraq war with flawed analysis. Protection of human rights through international cooperation will bring about a safer world. Read more. |
| Marriage Rights for All People | The U.S. Constitution is not about dividing us but ensuring our equal rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Bob Kinsey believes that marriage is a loving commitment by any two human beings deserving all the rights, privileges, and responsibilities which that commitment brings. Read more. |
| Science, Science Education and Technology | Some politicians parrot the Bush administration pejorative of unsound science to discount any law or regulatory effort that attempts to manage our use of technology for the well being of our planet. They harp on the notion of freedom defined as limitless license for individuals and corporations to pursue undisciplined short term gain. For them sound science means only that which reaches conclusions that fit on their procrustean bed of anti-intellectualism and the simplistic mythology of another age. This anti-intellectualism under girds their work to undermine confidence in public education and flow tax money to religious schools. As a retired Colorado teacher I know the damage this work has done. Their faith is in an unregulated market-place as if such were God ordained, even though it fuels the disease of raging but deeply unsatisfying hyper-consumption. |
| Safe Food, New Jobs and the Kyoto Treaty | Real jobs are vanishing from the American workplace due to NAFTA and other trade agreements. Large corporations like Walmart that produce goods cheaply overseas are driving local shops out of business. Bob Kinsey will support legislation which gives tax incentives for businesses that keep jobs and factories in the U.S. Read more. |
| Marijuana Issues | Marijuana has been shown to be a very useful drug that has multiple theraputic applications. Several States, including our own Colorado, havelegalized its use as Medical Marijuana. This is not only beneficial but entirely within the power of the State.The so called "War on Drugs" has damaged American society and has massively contributed to the national deficit. It has filled our prisons with non violent offenders (mostly young black men) to their detriment and the enrichment of the prison-industrial complex. In its name we have escalated our role as the major arms dealer in the world thus adding to militarization and raising levels of violence. It has overridden the Constitutional separation of powers between Federal and State. We must end the war on drugs and federal "law" enforcement interference that threatens the individual states' rights to include the use of marijuana as a helpful drug. |
