We're on to the General Election April 3 in Shawnee!
Thanks for your support in the primary yesterday! We made it through to the April 3 general election!
I received 1302 votes (38.35%), only 403 votes behind the 8-year incumbent, Jeff Meyers, with 1705 (50.22%) of the votes. John Segale, with 388 votes, was eliminated in the primary.

Do 20 and Free Healthcare for Life was a lie too!

This medical care promise was made openly, officially, and continuously to encourage the trained and experienced military personnel to remain…

Obama E. Newman: What, Him Worry?
By this time we've become used to our idiot, grinning-from-ear-to-ear, Alfred E. Newman-like president, glad-handing everyone he sees, promising to "not rest" until jobs are plentiful while simultaneously taking credit for the Bush-era oil drilling rigs and blaming Bush for the escalating cost of gasoline, or healthcare, or housing or whatever else Obama has made worse in the last 3 years.
But ole smiley will be sure to have elaborate, expensive parties in the…

HEALTH CARE FREEDOM AMENDMENT
HCR 5007, the Health Care Freedom Amendment will be debated by the Kansas Senate on Thursday, February 23, in the 2:30 session.

February 22nd Repubican Party Debate, Just a Couple of Observations.
To discuss the issues of the day is not the same thing as debating those issues. Debate doesn’t take much “education”, but it takes “information”. The two terms may be used interchangeably and both may be, depending on whom the giver of the education or the information is, the fulfillment of truthful statements. The conclusions that are drawn, however, may not be truthful. The cause of coming to the wrong conclusions, even if a person has read and has comprehended the…

The Double Standards Of Liberal "Faith"
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…
