Jason Buck is running for Utah District 2 for Congress.
If you live in District 2 it is well worth the time to get to know what Jason Buck says about things. Listen to his message on the videos located on his site, he is worth sending to Washington DC to shake up the Elitists

Who is Jason Buck:
Jason Buck is a nationally recognized conservative spokesman and
inspirational business owner. His story of perseverance and triumph
exemplifies the American “can do” spirit.
Growing up in a farming
family, Jason watched as bankers auctioned off his father’s farm
equipment after several bad harvests depleted the family’s finances. He
slept under a hay truck with his family when they had no home.
Jason
was always determined to change his life and achieve his dream of
playing in the NFL. He walked on as a quarterback at the local junior
college, but did not earn a scholarship to pay for tuition and expenses.
Undaunted, Jason went to work at the local seed mill throwing grain
sacks for 9 hour shifts then lifted weights at the college until late
into the evenings. After 2 years of hard work and sacrifice, he got his
scholarship to play defensive line at Ricks Junior College.
In
Jason’s sophomore year, he was named the National Junior College
Defensive player of the year and quickly became the number one recruited
junior college player in the nation. After turning down scholarships
from nationally renowned programs at Ohio State University, University
of Texas and University of Alabama, Jason followed his heart and
accepted a scholarship at BYU. He became the only consensus Defensive
All-American in the history of BYU, and he won the Football Writers
Association of America’s Outland Trophy as the best down lineman in the
nation.
Jason was drafted in the 1st round by the Cincinnati
Bengals and played for them in Super Bowl XXIII. He finished his NFL
career with the Washington Redskins where he won the World Championship
in Super Bowl XXVI.
After retiring from the NFL, Jason owned and
worked a 650-acre ranch in Manti, UT, and eventually relocated to
Highland to where he became partner in a growing financial services
company. Jason has remained active in the football world as an analyst
and commentator for the regional ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX networks while
coaching both his son’s football teams and daughter’s softball teams.
Jason
Buck’s family has deep roots in the Utah area. His ancestors arrived
in Nauvoo, IL, from England and then moved to Utah with the earliest
pioneers. Jason was born in Moses Lake, WA, to a family of ten
children. When he was three years old his father moved the family to
Michigan to farm potatoes and at nine years old, moved again to Adrian,
OR.
Jason’s family moved again his senior year of high school to
St. Anthony, ID, where he met his wife-to-be, Roxi. The two were
married in the summer of 1983, and raised a beautiful family together.
Jason and Roxi have always made family their top priority, and they
enjoy spending time with their children and grandchildren.
Jason’s
challenges and successes have forged a steadfast belief in
perseverance, faith, and a strong work ethic. These are the experiences
and qualities that Jason shares when he frequently speaks to large
audiences at universities, corporations, and other groups throughout the
United States.
For Jason Buck, no challenge is too great and no
problem is too big. That driving outlook, combined with rock solid
conservative principles, will make Jason Buck a very effective Member of
Congress.
What Jason says about these Issues:
Constitutional Authority
Our
founding fathers established in the U.S. Constitution very specific,
limited roles for the national government, chief among these being the
charge to protect the liberties of the people. That limited role was
born of King George’s legions of tax collectors, regulators and
bureaucrats, which were, as Jefferson penned in the Declaration of
Independence, ‘eating out our substance.’
But, today our federal
government would put King George to shame. The huge volume of mandates,
taxes, fees, regulations and bureaucratic oversight of our daily lives
is far from the framework given by our founders.
I love and
respect our Country, its people and its history. I believe our
Constitution was inspired in its creation. That’s why I can no longer
stand by while Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and others destroy the fabric
of our government and run-up historic debt that threatens our children’s
future.
When the stimulus bill was passed, it immediately became
the biggest and most expensive failure in America history – only to be
surpassed a few months later by the massive Obamacare disaster.
We must make an immediate change!
In
Congress, I’ll fight for a leaner, smaller, and constitutionally
limited federal government – one that is pro-free-market, pro-taxpayer,
pro-family, and fiscally sound.
Economy and Jobs
For
too long, the powers in Washington D.C. have felt that they have the
ability through more government spending and intervention to create jobs
and generate economic activity better than the free-market. Nothing
could be further from the truth.
To be able to have long term,
sustained growth, which in turn will create more jobs and get our
economy back on track, we need to get government out of the way of the
people who know best. You. You are the engine to the economy.
The
federal government has hampered your ability to start businesses, create
wealth and prosperity for your families as well as stifling innovation.
I promise that I will fight everyday if elected to get government out of the free market.
I will fight to undo job killing regulations.
I will fight to stop crony capitalism and the federal government picking of winners and losers.
I will fight to stop the bailouts of the businesses who got us into this mess.
I will fight to allow Utah to extract its rich mineral resources.
I will fight to make it easier for businesses to bring their profits back to our country from overseas.
If we do these things, we will create jobs and get this economy back on track.
Government Budget and Spending
\
Our
national debt now stands at over fifteen trillion dollars, an amount
equal to nearly forty nine thousand dollars for every single American.
Our children will be saddled with this untenable debt for the rest of
their lives.
In Congress, I will fight to immediately balance the
budget. That includes emergency spending cuts to all non-essential
government departments. I will also fight to pass the balance budget
amendment to the U.S. Constitution so that our elected officials can
never again put our Nation at financial risk.
The Republican
Congress was elected in 2010 on a promise to control our nation’s
spending and balance this budget. Like most of my neighbors, I’m
frustrated at the progress so far. In Congress, I will fight for swift
and immediate action on balancing the Nation’s budget.
Taxes & Fees
I
oppose raising taxes. Period. Our taxes are already too high. And,
if we’re going to attract and keep American companies on American soil,
we must have competitive tax rates with the rest of the world.
I’m
tired of hearing Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Barack Obama blame our
nation’s debt problems on the tax rate. Their ‘tax the rich’ class
warfare is simply a tactic to mask their own wasteful spending.
In
Congress, I will fight for tax reform that makes the IRS tax code fair,
flat and equitable. Our tax code should reward success and
entrepreneurship and should incentivize investment in American workers
and ideas. And, our tax code should be easy to understand.
Illegal Immigration
Before
we can address the illegal immigration crisis, we must first get
control of our Nation’s borders. Until we take that step, we won’t be
able to solve this problem, yet it amazes me that Washington cannot even
get this done.
In Congress, I’ll fight to complete a permanent,
impenetrable border fence between the US and Mexico. I’ll also push for
policies that place our National Guard on the border to defend our
citizens against Mexican drug cartels. There’s simply no reason why
Arizona families should fear kidnapping and violence from Mexican drug
lords.
I oppose taxpayer funded handouts to illegal aliens,
including welfare and college tuition. We cannot afford to bankrupt the
system any longer.
Healthcare
In
Congress, I will fight for an immediate and complete repeal of
Obamacare. We cannot afford this expensive and socialist program. Nor
can we afford to have government bureaucrats determining who lives, and
who dies.
I hope I am joined by a newly elected Republican
President and Republican Senate so that we can repeal this law on the
first day of the new Congress.
Private Property & Utah Lands
Our
constitutional republic is founded on the right to own property, and
our government should be focused on protecting that right. I’ll fight
to strengthen private property rights, and that includes reforming the
Endangered Species Law which radical environmentalists are now using to
tie the hands of private property owners.
I will also fight to
return Utah public lands to Utah control. Utah residents know how best
to manage and conserve our forests and public lands, from the
sportsman/hunter to the lumber industry and ranchers, to the hiker and
camper. Our local residents have the biggest stake in properly managing
our lands. We do not need a UC Berkley graduate living in Washington
D.C. telling us how to manage our lands.
Second Amendment
I’m
a member of the National Rifle Association and a strong supporter of
the Second Amendment. I believe law abiding citizens should have the
right to keep and bear arms for hunting, self-protection, and any other
lawful activity.
Life, Family, and Marriage
I
am pro-life, pro-family and support preserving marriage as the union
between one man and one woman. I will serve Utah families in Congress
as a champion for issues important to the very existence of our culture
and society.
Honoring Veterans
My
father served in the Navy and my brothers served in the Army. I’ve
seen the sacrifices that our soldiers gladly make to train and prepare
for a war that we all hope will never come.
In Congress, I will
ensure that America respects and cares for our veterans. There’s no
excuse to do otherwise. Those who serve America should be honored for
their duty to our safety and our republic. Without them, we would not
enjoy the freedoms we have today.
Personally the More I learn about Jason Buck, the more I feel he would be a Great Man to send to Washington DC, to Wake Up the intellectual, career politicians, and just plane power hungry Elites and let them realize Real America does NOT Agree with their "Kings, Lords, Masters and us being their peasants"
We the People, American's are in Charge, Control of the Government, NOT the other way around, they need someone to Remind them about that FACT. I feel Jason Buck would be the right man to send to represent Utah.
Stephen Huls, Monroe Utah.
