30. Guess how many resources the dems put into kansas?
Nothing. Zip. Nada.

I live in Kansas and I voted today. But I really took the initiative to be familiar with the amendment and the date of the vote. Some of my friends and my mother voted....ALL AGAINST THE AMENDMENT. But I'd like to make clear that there was no push whatsoever against the amendment. Yet, while standing next to my boss's computer yesterday she got an email she said was from her "church friend" reminding her to vote and which candidates/amendments.

The fact is is that the Democrats are MIA in states like Kansas. No resources. No results. The Pubs are spreading their message thru the churches here and it's being conveyed that * is the party of Christians. Period.

Instead of pointing fingers at the people of Kansas and other states, maybe we should be pushing our own local democratic parties and make it clear to the national party that we demand action in these states and maybe, just maybe, it could make a difference. Changing the hearts and minds of so many who are on the fence much more than you give them credit for is our only hope for the next election or any other.
