Throughout this campaign I have continuously stated why I believe we have the best candidates on the ballot this year. I have been specific in my advocacy and have not resorted to personal and/or irrelevant attacks (do you hear me Bluestem and KDP?). If you agree and believe that Republican and Democratic policies have been a failure (and I really hope anyone who's paying attention would) then you must vote for candidates who will bring true change to the legislature and congress. There is no such thing as a "lesser evil" vote. They are all counted the same and are seen as an endorsement/mandate for the failed policies we have seen over and over again.

Just a reminder what I stand for:

1. Less government in your personal and economic life. There is absolutely no rational reason to increase the size of the bureaucracy in Kansas. I believe we can reduce this bureaucracy and have pledged to never raise your taxes.
2. An end to the state sales tax on groceries. This is a regressive tax that hurts the poor and middle class the most. Kansas has one of the highest rates in the nation. Many states have eliminated this tax entirely - why can't our legislators manage their budget without breaking the backs of Kansas consumers?
3. An end to eminent domain abuse through an amendment to the Kansas Constitution. The overwhelming majority of Kansans would vote to end eminent domain for private gain is they had the chance. Why hasn't this happened? The simple fact is many legislators are tied to private developers and local municipalities. I will be an advocate for YOUR liberty - not the special interests who want to steamroll that liberty.
4. An end to taxpayer-funded lobbying. Do you agree with everything your city or county lobbies for in Topeka? Of course not and you shouldn't be forced to fund these activities. The House failed to pass a measure last session which would have simply required full disclosure of the activities. Common sense has taken a holiday in Topeka.

If you think these ideas make sense and are more tangible than the "broad-based energy plan" and "increased health care coverage" vagueness you have been hearing all fall I ask for your vote. If we don't bring TRUE change to the legislature then we'll just get more of the same - and I'm guessing that isn't working too well for you.

Thanks
Patrick
