Hello Mr. Brownback,
As an American, as a tax paying citizen of Kansas, and as graduate student of science, I wanted to take a moment to voice my absolute disapproval of your signing of the Heath Care Rights of Conscience Act. The limiting of medical technology is not on the path to progress. What's unfortunate is this is not only inhibiting on social progress, but it is actually actively taking a step back in social progress. I am very saddened by such a deliberate step backwards. Under no circumstances could I now "consciously vote" for you, but sadly, this is within my very civil rights as an American and Kansas citizen. By not voting for you based on my conscious, I am not infringing on anyone else's rights. This so called "Health Care Rights of Conscience Act" however, does infringe on other people's rights. It also allows for legal grounds for those working in the medical field to violate the "do no harm" part of the Hippocratic Oath. Once again, Kansas legislation has brought shame upon me, and I wish there were any reasonable way for me to no longer be a Kansas citizen and to be able to declare my citizenship with a different and less hostile state.
With much regret for my association to this state,
Dusten Whisnant
Dieckhaus said the House has no real issues with the Kansas City schools bill.......
Exactly why he and so many like him have to go. We have a good bill that everyone likes being held up because Mr. Dieckhaus doesn't like that he isn't the only vote that counts in the democratic process. What he's saying, in other words, is that the Senators should vote for a bill they don't think is a good idea or he won't pass the one everyone thinks is a good idea.
Senator Roberts staff said that Green River has more reserves than Saudi Arabia. Honestly, no matter what oil company extracts that oil, who do you think they will sell it to after it's been refined?
The American consumer, not likely, the #1 export in the US for 2011, and 2012 so far this year is gasoline,diesel fuel, jet fuel and distillates. The oil companies can sell this gas for a higher profit to growing overseas economies, rather than hear in the US.
Call Mr Roberts and ask him to tell you why he can't put some kind of clause in these federal oil leases, that the end product should be sold to the US consumer.
The Government Accountability Office has come out with a report that the Green River Formation in Wyoming, Utah and Colorado has enough oil that it could supply our country for the NEXT 200 YEARS!!!
Unless I missed it - how about lower taxes and fees, improve the economy and hire more teens to do work? They can earn money and pay to go to movies and spend time working and not getting in trouble.
Getting rid of the eTax and business license fee would put enough money in most business owners pockets to hire a summer teen if they needed it.
I find this report interesting...do teens really want safe opportunities, in which there is a positive police presence and relationship-building but not a smothering or intimidating police show of force?
This article sounds like the author and the people interviewed want a nanny police state where parents and kids abdicate responsibility and work just to have fun. This line of thinking is too bad...
I propose that Clay Chastain be honored with a bronze bust in the rotunda or front lobby of City Hall in Kansas City. I also propose that the Rev. Phelps be honored with his likeness in the rotunda in the Kansas State Capital building. Let's not stop there, we could errect a statue of Jerry (Downpayment on a Cheeseburger) Metzer on the Plaza
What a tragedy to see his name linked with Twain, Truman and other famous Missourians. Even his comment at the end is offensive. Typical Rush...negativity is his gold standard. If you don't agree with him you are "deranged." He needs to understand that many Missourians are offended by his show and the hatred he spreads. It's a shame he was honored in this way.
I would like to Thank Nodaway County Democrats for inviting and allow me to speak at your Truman Dinner last Thursday. It was a historical day to allow Justice to be brought back into this countries political dialogue. The food was elegant, and all the members were very cordial and kind. I thank you so much for your work in our Democratic process.
Dan is absolutely right. Thanks to Limbaugh's racist, xenophobic, and misogynistic blather, he has outraged and motivated great numbers of formerly apathetic citizens to wake up and take interest in the relentless attacks on civil rights and liberties in this country by the far right.
Thanks to Rush's ham-handed attacks on Sandra Fluke and women's reproductive rights in general, there are millions of angry voters who will now be supporting the president, and in Missouri, Sen. McCaskill in their bids for reelection.
So yeah, keep up the good work Mr. Limbaugh. If you were not around, libertarians would have to invent you. You certainly have put a face on the nasty underbelly of racism, hate and discrimination that unfortunately still exists among the misguided, and the unabashed troglydites who need their Rush fix every day.
Poor dumb liberals. They can't make their two brain cells understand that Rush have accomplished more than all hate-filled, obstructionist liberal demon zombies have done to tear things down!!
It wasn't Mittens & Bain that did in GST/Armco - it was tidal wave of cheap Asian steel and union strikes for higher wages and benefits in the face of a dying industry. The reason why Bain could buy GST/Armco was because it was already weak, in debt and outdated.
But I don't care about Mittens and Bain.
I care that Pres. Divisive has enslaved our grandchildren with $6,000,000,000,000.00 in new DEBT in 4 years.
I care that Pres. Divisive p!ssed $800 BILLION down the 'shovel ready jobs' crapper with jobs that weren't quite shovel ready (chuckle, chuckle)
I care that Pres. Divisive sued states for requiring valid photo IDs to vote.
"The ceremony today was unusual in that it was not announced until 20 minutes before it was scheduled to begin and was not open to the public. Only invited guests were allowed to attend."
That about sums up the obscenity which is the far right. ALEC, Citizens United Superpacs, to point out just a few, all operate the same way: secretive, extremist and bullying their wishes on the rest of us.
I hope that sanity and common decency in the form of tolerance and community will return someday. If it does not, then America is lost to the financial and religious oligarchs, along with the stupid and hateful little people that support their agendas.
Until sanity returns, we can just comfort ourselves by visualizing those films of Saddam's statue being toppled, or that huge stadium Swastika being dynamited by US Army combat engineers during the fall of the Third Reich.
Good to see Buck O'Neal and Dred Scott get recognition. I have nothing to say about Rush. You know if you have nothing good to say then say nothing at all.

"Turns out those envelopes should never have been sold, agreed Dee Pack, owner of Recovery Management Corp., which owns Cargo Largo."
It turns out those envelopes... should never have been purchased from any agents working on behalf of Recovery Management Corp., which owns Cargo Largo, and could make the company complicit in larceny against a federal official!
Abortion is the murdering of innocent little babies!! 50 million since 1973. FIFTY MILLION!!! And if that wasn't bad enough, Planned Parenthood the baby killing company is SO corrupt, that breaking laws including not reporting child rape is the norm.
But no big deal to boys like John Green and the rest of the blood thirsty pro death zealots! They can't get their little heads around the fact that our governement is supposed to protect human life.
The tea party boys at it again. Brownback is their leader. Just like the republicans in the US congress, now the tea party is fighting on the state level with their republican brothers and sisters. Instead of suppling enough money for our schools to properly educate our children, they take the money and spend it on lawyers fighting abortion and planned parenthood.
When it's all said and done, and the once famous investigative journalism creds of the Washington Post are reduced to the equivalent of a high school yearbook, Obama won't be beat worse than you think.
No, it will be worse.
His impending defeat is now in uncharted territory. He will likely get beat worse than I even think.
Why?
Those who covered his butt in 2008 will now be too busy trying to cover their own. The incredible unraveling of the 4th estate and their Barry puppet is pure beauty to dah Buzz.
I have to agree with Mr. Nelson that this is Obama pandering. But at least it is pandering with a good purpose. As far as being bigoted, no one expects you to change your mind about your moral beliefs. I know that you will never, never marry a gay man.
Just realize that you are a blue hair in the left lane, and that big Semi called social progress is tailgating your butt. You should move into the right lane and let progress move on down the road. "Forward."
I am a bigot. And intolerant. But unlike you, I admit it. I don't delude myself into feeling I'm some type of open-minded, all-inclusive person accepting all beliefs, ideas and behaviors (except for those you don't - like Conservatism or your misguided definition of Christianity.)
The dictionary defines 'bigot' as one with strongly held beliefs or ideas to the exclusion of outside influence - particularly about religion or politics.
That's me: I have strongly held beliefs or ideas.
And if you look up 'intolerant' in the dictionary, you'll find a picture of my face with the words inscribed "I don't suffer fools gladly."
Vote NO on this 'proposed constitutional amendment.'
Right now it's a 7 person commission: 3 lawyers, 3 governor appointees, and one Supreme Court Judge.
So what's the recommended change?
" The proposed amendment would replace the Supreme Court judge with another appointment by the governor."
Yup. That's a genius move; remove the one guy who actually sits on the court with intimate practical knowledge of the job.
Perhaps our current system of selecting judges is called the 'Missouri Plan', 'a model for the nation,' and used by 30 other states because it's an excellent system
Vote NO on this 'proposed constitutional amendment.'
Sen Lugar lost because he lost touch with his voters, lost the support of the Indiana Republican Party infrastructure, and ran a miserable campaign. Sen Roberts never lost touch with the voters of Kansas, has the full support of the Kansas GOP, and his campaign team is top notch. In comparing the two, they do not line-up.
I could see making a change to the current system but this doesn't seem like the change to make. This would basically give the governor unchecked power to appoint judges and checks and balances are a fundamental principle of American Government. Perhaps a commission with the two most senior members of the MO Supreme Court, two from the bar association, two appointed by the governor, and the attorney general.
