SUCCESS

(Proof positive if I can manage the Internet then anybody can) A new crop of Young Democrats joined in the large crowd on hand to support Tom Holland in his debate with Senator Sam. Forgive me for stooping to partisan sniping but when I saw the stickers favored by the yellow-shirted group reading "I'm a Brown-backer" couldn't help thinking it should instead read "I'm a Brown-noser". This because those who showed up were treated to free transportation, free shirts, free lunch and free admission to the fair - all courtesy of our Senator Sam. Money can indeed buy a lot of things. Let's just hope Kansas isn't for sale in November. It's up to us, people!

WHAT WE'RE AIMING FOR

According to all volunteers who worked throughout the fair, this was a common remark: "I don't want Brownback for governor" (and some even stronger comments from members of his own party). Whether or not this negative response can bring moderate voters into Tom Holland's camp is largely dependent on us. Talk to undecided or waivering voters. Acquaint yourself with Tom's positions, history and accomplishments at working in a bipartisan effort to improve Kansas. He's working hard to defeat the extremism that's invading our state. We need to pitch in and help him in that effort.

DUE TO TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES...

Having a hard time getting some of my photos from the fair transferred. They are worth the wait and hope to have them up for your enjoyment soon. Thanks for your patience. This one that I miraculously managed to download does give a great view of the KDP side of the booth where mainly state and federal candidates were featured. Check the blog again soon as I struggle to conquer the challenges of Techno-world!
