If it feels like America is sliding deeper into darkness—with voter suppression, book bans, gag orders, and fear spreading daily—you’re not alone. The truth is, fascism thrives when good people hesitate, but democracy grows stronger when ordinary people take action.
It’ll never be enough for them

And then start loudly proposing taxes on the megarich and corporations. No taxes under 250,000.
No cap on ss tax.

This is the “kitchen table” message the dems need to be hollering from the mountains and soapboxes!! This is the message that will resonate. Saying it with the same energy will help us believe they actually care about it/us. They will see the 26% approval rating soar if they will just shout this!

Senseless!!

We got the old version yesterday. Should we get the new one in 3-4 months? We’re both in our mid 50’s.

Absolutely! Got excited to see a candidate that’s not a total sycophant and has the credentials to appeal to lots of Kansas. I’ll post when I hear back. Fingers crossed he’s a good ‘un.

I deleted my original post until hear back from the campaign to verify where he stands on issues.

Agree. I went ahead and emailed them, I’ll be interested to hear back. I’ve read through a couple other candidates against Marshall & I think the strategy might be to be anti establishment but not strongly democratic party to get traction in Kansas.

Which would be an easy thing to understand! Maybe he’s running as an independent. My friend has been in touch with the campaign and passed it on to me. I’ll email them and verify the info myself. Thanks!

This is what we are trying to decide too! We got our grandkids in for the “old” version last week. We were going to hold out for the “new” one but now I wonder if we should just get the older one this week. Ugh.
