Politico: “It started with tuna,” explains Congressman Ken Buck, when asked why he doesn’t use Google.
Buck, 62, is a four-term Republican who represents the ranching country of eastern Colorado, and he was recalling a time 30-odd years ago when he learned that dolphins were being killed in Japanese tuna fisheries’ drift nets. It stuck in his brain, he says, until one day he was getting a bite to eat at the deli. On the spot, he decided: Unless it was the more sustainable albacore variety, no more tuna for him. That day he got the chicken salad instead.
What followed was a series of personal boycotts: He opted to drive a Ford after GM and Chrysler took federal bailout money; he cut the Nike logo out of his favorite shorts over Colin Kaepernick.
