Former Kan. GOP governor endorses Kelly's re-election

TOPEKA — Former Republican Gov. Mike Hayden endorsed Tuesday the reelection of Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly.

Hayden, who served as the state’s governor from 1987 to 1991, joined former GOP Gov. Bill Graves and former Democratic Govs. Kathleen Sebelius and John Carlin in urging Kansans to vote for Kelly on Nov. 8.

“In 50 years in Kansas politics I’ve seen the good times and the bad,” Hayden said. “The affairs of Kansas are in good shape right now, and I credit the bipartisan approach of Governor Kelly.”

He said Kelly’s work as governor led to adoption of a multibillion-dollar highway and transportation program. He said state aid to K-12 public schools reached record levels and jobs were being created in the state’s economy. He touted passage of a law phasing out the state’s regressive 6.5% sales tax on groceries.

That's 2 former GOP KS Governors who have endorsed Kelly, more at link, no paywall......

203 reQublicOns vote for "We Reserve The Right To Cheat"

"We Reserve The Right To Cheat" is basically what they were saying when they voted against......

H.R. 8873: Presidential Election Reform Act

The Electoral Count Act of 1887 should be amended to prevent other future unlawful efforts to overturn
Presidential elections and to ensure future peaceful transfers of Presidential power.

The reforms contained in this Act are fully consistent with States’ constitutional authority vested by Article II
to appoint electors; the reforms herein do not restrict the mode in which States lawfully appoint their respective
electors or resolve related contests or controversies, but instead ensure that those appointments, and the
votes cast by those electors, are duly transmitted to Congress.

https://www.govtrack.us/congress/votes/117-2022/h449

This vote alone ("We Reserve The Right To Cheat" ) should disqualify 203 persons from serving in Congress. IMO

With so many fleeing Russia, what Pres. Zelensky could try

Since some countries are closing their borders with Russia, President Zelensky could offer asylum to any
male Russian pacifist wanting not to serve in Putler's army.

And with asylum comes responsibilities, they'll have to agree to work for free to clean up and rebuild
buildings and homes Russia has destroyed with their bombing.

With most of Ukraine's skilled labor off fighting, the Russian volunteers would be picking up the slack.
Could get Russian mechanics to rebuilding some left behind tanks and other vehicles.

House them in bombed out apartment buildings and tell them to get busy, winter is coming. They'll
understand housing is at a premium, besides beggars can't be choosers.

Only big drawback I see is with the large influx of pacifists, Ukraine might need additional food stuff.
They'll bring their own cooks. Maybe even give them rear echelon jobs to help fight the Russians.

Just an idea.

On edit:

They could confiscate all their phones and cameras as a 'For your own safety" so Russia couldn't hone
in on them with rockets. Plus any saboteur caught with either could be jailed right away. Plus warn them
to be on the lookout for any and report any suspicious individuals, again 'For your own safety"

How I just told off a RWNJ. No copy right on the ideas.

One of the first things Fascists always do is go after the news media who aren't praising them. Know any politicians
who like to use the term "FAKE NEWS"? When Fascists have their own propaganda news outlets who put out
conspiracy theories like "All Republicans are baby killers to drink their blood" while painting the picture their gang are
all angels, that's when this country is in trouble.

Ever see these "news" outlets put out Amber Alerts for missing babies? Especially when millions of people in this
country love to eat babies?

If you're one of the millions of people who honestly believe the 2020 election was stolen from Der orange Fuhrer,
ever ask yourself where the proof is, you know the historical facts to prove it was stolen. Ever wonder why 66
stolen election cases were thrown out of court, most labeled "Lack of Evidence"?

This country has one political party slowly turning Fascist, turn the propaganda "news outlets" off before they talk
you into shooting your neighbors for no other reason but Der Fuhrer wants you to because he's afraid of going to jail,
at least that's what some of the "FAKE NEWS" news outlets are saying along with the Jan 6th Select Committee.

How I got the PCH scammer to hang up on us.

My Mom answered the phone (on speaker so I could hear), when I figured out it was the PCH scammer I said just
loud enough so he could hear me "Keep him on the phone so the FBI can complete their trace" CLICK

Ken Burns is helping to save Democracy from Rs

From what I've read Burns's part 3 of his series "The US and the Holocaust" which airs tonight on PBS

will transition from the Nazi's atrocities in WWII to MAGAts involvement in the Jan 6th insurrection.

Believe he's tying the MAGA cult directly to the hip of Nazis as a reincarnation of them, and as such

can this Country afford to give them any power in our Political System.

Keeping in mind that older retired people (largest voting block, a lot of who are republicans) watch PBS,

plus those with ties to WWII with relatives who served will be watching.

His special has Holocaust in the title not insurrection, but he slips that in at the end and I'm sure he

will do it very tactfully so people will question where this Country is headed with them.

This has all the possibilities of getting voters to question who they should vote for. So email/text all

the Rs you know that PBS has a great Ken Burns special tonight and don't hint at the ending.

I just got a return email from a R that I sent yesterday informing him of the special, his now deceased dad

served in Europe, said he's currently watching the first 2 parts and was looking forward to tonight.

If we can influence Rs without even saying a word, it don't get any better than that.

So start emailing & texting every R who you think might watch, put MAGAts at the bottom of your list.

SPREAD THE GOOD WORD, every little bit helps the midterms.
