Kansas Delegation Meeting (#Dream2010)

caleb — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 20:37:01 +0000

The Kansas AFP delegation met this afternoon for a lunch meeting in the Coolidge Room at the Marriott Wardman in the District. My perhaps less-than-completely-accurate estimate puts the number in attendance at above fifty Kansans who made the half nation trek to our country’s capital to stand for a movement that truly defends the principles [...]

Defending the American Dream Summit Starts (#Dream10)

I’m at the Marriott Wardman Park in Washington, D.C. this weekend to attend American for Prosperity’s Defending the American Dream Summit with Virginia Crossland, Melissa Ward and Jarrod Mendicki. According to the Summit’s website, the general registration sold out – something that excites me. With the almost 2,500 attendees at this year’s fourth annual conference, [...]

Tiahrt Reflections

Volunteering for the Todd Tiahrt for U.S. Senate campaign this summer has been one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. We started out last night winning. In fact, we were leading Mr. Moran for around half the evening. All of our numbers looked fantastic. We soundly won the Third and Fourth Congressional Districts – [...]

I’m sitting at a table at the Tiahrt Victory Party watching results come in. As of the latest results, we’re up by two points: Tiahrt 48% – Moran 46%. I’ll keep you updated. Update 1: We’ve won both Johnson and Sedgwick Counties – the two largest on Kansas! Update 2: It’s three and a half [...]

Volunteerism

Over the course of this year, I’ve published several articles chronicling my volunteer efforts to help elect Todd Tiahrt as our next U.S Senator from Kansas. As a former civics teacher of mine once told me, “It’s citizen involvement that will turn things around.” Volunteering is important to me; you’re giving something of yourself freely [...]

“Quotes”

My good friend, KSKidConservative, makes some really hard-hitting grassroots campaign videos. This is his latest regarding the U.S. Senate race in Kansas. Says he: Todd Tiahrt is running for the United States Senate. Recently, Jerry Moran released an ad called ‘Quotes’ that said Congressman Tiahrt was “slimy” – I have a list of quotes of [...]

On Thursday, July 8, Congressman Todd Tiahrt (R-KS04) completed his tour of Southeast Kansas with multiple stops in Parsons, Oswego, and Pittsburg. I caught up with the Congressman as he was touring downtown Oswego, KS, my hometown. Michelle Hucke, Tiahrt SEK Coordinator, and I (the lowly Labette County coordinator), along with Brie Bringle and Tom Bringle, [...]

Answers, please, Sen. DeMint

I just received this email from a fellow Tea Partier from South Carolina, home of Senator Jim DeMint, who, breaking from the rest of conservatism, has oddly endorsed Todd Tiahrt’s very moderate opponent for Senate. As a native Kansan, a resident of South Carolina, and an executive board member of the South Carolina District 5 [...]

Happy 234th Birthday, America!

I love America. I love her for her mountains high, her prairies bright, and her beaches white. for her freedom, her liberty, and her God-given grace. for her willingness to accept “your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” I love America because, here, one truly can become whatever he or she [...]
