HCR 5007, the Health Care Freedom Amendment will be debated by the Kansas Senate on Thursday, February 23, in the 2:30 session.
There will be likely a morning and an afternoon session, as a result. There is a large list of items to debate on the calendar, and the Health Care Freedom Amendment will likely be at or near the end of the list, so it is very hard to pinpoint when the debate will occur exactly.…

Did the Washington Post commit a random act of, “Not in the tank for Obama”? Scott Clement wrote, “Obama’s rising gas prices problem”. The first response to this might be, “No expletive Sherlock”, but it does have a profound meaning. Gasoline is used by the vast majority of people that drive to work, and those that drive to look for a job. Besides the indirect influences on the prices of other goods, it is…

Why is it that when conservatives/Republicans speak of matters of faith and religion they are criticized by the press and liberal politicians, and are described as imposing their religion on the nation, but when Bill Clinton (remember his "healing" prayer sessions with Jesse Jackson after the Lewinski affair became known?) or Barack Obama (he speaks of his "Christian Faith" while trying to force the Catholic Church to abandon it's long-standing beliefs and…

The office of the President was…

Before our Kansas Legislature, is HB 2577, which will require businesses and government entities to use the E-Verify system to verify someone applying for employment in Kansas is in our state legally.
Did you know that Kansas is surrounded by states who have addressed this issue? Kansas is, for all intents and purposes, a Sanctuary State. Kansas is a magnet for illegals.
PLEASE contact your state Representative and Senator and ask them to vote YES on this…
