Moreover, Roberts is disingenuous in his pronouncements. For example, on his own website, he claims to support the status quo in gun control and legislation. Yet, in 2005

Roberts cosponsored a bill which promotes reckless sales of weaponry in America in a land already having trouble keeping weapons our of hands of mass-murderers on a monthly basis.

Most sadly, Roberts continues to support continuing endless wars in Iraq and elsewhere. He has had many chances to stand against war and has never moved to end cloture or to vote for reducing military commitment and spending—leaving more and more Kansas worried about war and becoming another victim of war.

NOT ONLY KANSANS

Not only do Kansans need to get rid of Senators, like Roberts and Brownback, starting in 2008, the whole U.S. voting public is called to throw the bums out in 2008.

Help make America and the world a better place to live in starting with the U.S. Senate this autumn!

If Pat Roberts and other U.S. Senators won’t do the right thing by American veterans of war, clean the capital, please, America!

I live in the heart of America, and am haunted by the saying:
"Evil succeeds because good men do nothing." by Edmund Burke.

Albert Einstein had another way of saying it:
"The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing."

So I do what I can.

I'm from across the State Line, and from what I see . . .

Most Kansans don't care. I've never been able to understand Johnson County's arrogance. The only thing different between Jackson and Johnson is the size of the mortgage payments. Is that something to be arrogant about these days? Look, I know there's got to be a lot of decent Kansans. I've discovered one right here!

I think reading WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH KANSAS? is a good place to start to look at Kansas history and politics. Is there a similar book about Missouri's many faces?
