    Conservative Republicans scored big wins across Kansas on Tuesday as they set themselves up to seize control of the state Senate and clear a path for Republican Gov. Sam Brownback’s agenda. Moderates lost in many key Senate races in Tuesday’s GOP primary, including five of six seats that were up for grabs in Johnson County. Rep. Kay Wolf of Prairie Village was the only moderate Republican to win in Johnson County. Conservative Jeff Melcher knocked off Rep. Pat Colloton in Senate District 11; Rep. Jim Denning downed moderate Tim Owens in Senate District 8; and Rep. Greg Smith beat Joe...

    Hello Friends, The quote below is from Kristian Van Meteren, who has tried to get the Ethics Committee to do its job on ethics violations and they fined him. He sued and won. “If you doubt the claims that our “Republican” Senate Leadership has teamed up with Barack Obama’s Democrats, you’ll doubt no more. “Kansas Jobs PAC” is a shadowy organization that appeared on the Kansas political scene in mid-June and began throwing big bucks around on behalf of liberal GOP senators. We’ve been wondering where they got their money. Folks, this isn’t about “moderate” Republican vs. Republican. This is...

    Will you stand with us for religious freedom? America was founded on the principle of religious freedom, an unalienable right enshrined in the First Amendment. Now, however, the President has ordered religious schools, hospitals, and charities to violate their consciences by paying for products that they believe are immoral, including abortion-inducing drugs.

    RUSSELL, Kan. | The long lines of well-wishers were here again. So were the Dole for President T-shirts and the striking red, white and blue “America’s Choice” campaign buttons.
