  • Protect the Guard - Protect the Nation!
    Compared to the Active Component (AC), the Reserve Component (RC – National Guard & Reserves) are: 1) One-third the cost with the same operational performance. 2) On average older, more experienced senior and master aviators and mechanics. 3) Have a significantly better accident record. Here's an analogy... it's like the U.S. Olympic Team taking one third of their team, the third that are not full-time Olympians, but those that may have other jobs in addition to training for the Olympics, and just letting them go. And in that one third are some of the most committed, most passionate, and oftentimes most diverse and experienced. The ARI threatens to do just that to Guard Apache and Kiowa Warrior pilots and maintainers. These are the Guardsmen and women in your State, in your community, in your neighborhood. Are you, as a tax paying citizen, OK with that? Apache and Kiowa Warrior units in the Guard do more than just train for combat. They provide ready and immediate Domestic Operations (DOMOPs) to their respective States. They can provide an Air Base of Operations (AOB) for air and ground ops, and integrate with other services such as firefighting. Support companies within the Battalion can provide ground equipment (vehicles, generators) and mechanics; a robust medical section that can provide a variety of medical care; mobile kitchens as well as several tents that can provide heat and housing in the event of a natural disaster. Apache helicopters can provide airborne command and control, escort vehicles around destroyed bridges and other infrastructure, and use FLIR (infrared) to locate isolated persons and even find hot spots during firefighting to assist with water bucket drops. As you can see, the Guard provides a valuable role whether serving at home or overseas. This is a grassroots effort to raise awareness - please speak out to your representatives and let them know why you disagree with this! Make sure you bring to their attention the proposed House Resolution 3930, which if approved will halt the ARI for at least 2 years and allow an independent study to be conducted. To learn more, and to contact your representatives, go to: http://savetheguard.weebly.com/speak-out.html We need your help now... President Obama's budget drops on or around March 4th! http://beta.congress.gov/bill/113th/house-bill/3930/cosponsors

  • Get religion out of Politics
    I see the evidence of global warming and the accidents caused by tampering with oil and gas explorations. I see nuclear wastes spilling into our environment, all scientifically provable. I see our children's education devoid of adequate understanding of science and mathematics and I see a growing religious fervor to negate evidence in favor of an outdated document written by men, long before scientists and technological development. These same people use technology and medical advances, yet influence political opinions for their own, private gain. Keeping people ignorant is a sure way to dominate them.

  • Rep. Paul Ray
    I run a specialty electronic cigarette shop in Ogden, UT. Most users of e-cigs are now FORMER smokers living drastically healthier lives by using pv's (personal Vaporizers) as an alternative to deadly, filthy tobacco. With Ray's proposed legislation, we would be banned from advertising, be held to manufacturing and sales standards that shops that sell beer and tobacco are not held to, and I oppose this blatant power-move and also oppose his fiction-based facts that he presents to constituents.

  • Kansans in support of House Bill 2198 The Cannabis Compassion and Care Act
    My daughter is 7 years old and suffers from Crohn's disease. She has to take a terrible drug that is actually a chemotherapy drug. It is harming her liver badly. I am an insulin dependent diabetic, disabled veteran of the USMC/Desert Storm veteran and registered nurse. Medical Marijuana is a much safer alternative and there are MANY legitimate studies to support this. It's time to join the rest of America. We need to take back our freedom. Don't be afraid to sign this petition. THE PEOPLE OF KANSAS HAVE SPOKEN. RECENT POLLS INDICATE 70% OF KANSANS WANT MEDICAL MARIJUANA! Not to mention the extra revenue it would generate for the GREAT STATE OF KANSAS!

  • Tell Congressional Republicans: No work, no pay
    A recent Washington Post article quoted several Republican Congressional leaders saying they had no plans to vote on any more important legislation until the November elections. Any American worker knows that if they don't do their job, they won't get paid. Republicans in Congress should follow the same rules as American workers.

  • Assemblymember Patterson: Don't Oppose Transparency and Disclosure!
    Since the disastrous Citizens United ruling, billionaires and other special interests are funneling record amounts of money through secretive non-profits, trying to buy our elections. Federal prosecutors even say that a foreign tycoon exploited loopholes to try to rig the outcome. This kind of dangerous secrecy must stop. S.B. 27 will make sure billionaires, foreign tycoons, and other special interests can't hide behind dark money non-profits. It requires any group spending $50,000 in California elections to reveal exactly who gave the money. It's a key step before passage of the California DISCLOSE Act (S.B. 52). Last month, Assemblymember Patterson voted against an amendment to make S.B. 27 take effect in the November election. The final Assembly vote on S.B. 27 could come any day, and Assemblymember Patterson needs to hear that constituents don't want him to oppose transparency and disclosure!
