...I can tell you that there are more than a few of us who don't like what's going on. We voted against Brownback the first time he ran AND when he ran for re-election (don't ask me how he won that year). It's really hard to run up against the Koch Machine is the only explanation I can give. We are currently in a fight to knock Kevin Yoder (R) out of Congress in our district -- he who helped devise the huge educational budget cuts which devastated our schools. Still, there are enough stupid people in our district who think the status quo is just fine and dandy.

Heavy sigh.
