Rachel just said that her show is decamping to Kansas next week

[eleny]

She'll tell us why after the break. But I can imagine why and so can you.

Yipes!

[patrice]

1. Sam Brownback is dumping about 150 profoundly mentally disabled people out into the streets here.

Killing the Kansas Neurological Institute budget.

And THAT'S just for starters.

[eleny]

3. Rachel just said that they will be covering the abortion rights story

After Dr. Mila Means was on her program last night the anti abortion rights group went to her home and protested.

But as you point out there are more things going on in Kansas that need attention. It's horrific for those patients and their families.

[patrice]

5. All, or most, of the activists here are working across issues. It's all connected, partly because

it's all the same people doing this shit!

[flamingdem]

2. Rachel totally rocks, great idea to go there nt

[eleny]

4. And brave, too

[Telly Savalas]

6. Brave?

Sure, the drivers are rather inattentive, but in general it's a pretty safe place.

[northoftheborder]

7. I would say that anyone, including journalists, are in a dangerous

situation covering that Kansas anti-abortion bunch. They are dangerous, fanatical murderers.

14. Tell that to Dr. Tiller.

Once RW extremists decide someone is "the enemy," they seem to have no problem deciding to issue a fatwa against that person.

Oh, and I live in Kansas, too.

[Telly Savalas]

17. I live in Missouri

And I've had something like five shootings within a few blocks of my house in the last couple years.

So spare me.

8. If the effort in Wisconsin spreads, she may want to change her travel plans.

[Motown_Johnny]

9. Ed is broadcasting from WI tomorrow

[flamingdem]

10. Ed is going, fortunately nt

[eleny]

11. Looks like Ed is covering that territory

[proud2BlibKansan]

12. NOOOOO!

I think I will plan a little trip down to Wichita next week :)

[DBoon]

13. so it's progressive media that is on the 50-state strategy

supporting the good people in places where the centrists cowards that run the Democratic establishment refuse to tread

[upi402]

16. They booted Dean

Makes me question their intentions. Did they get the result they wanted this last round?

Anyway - Go Wisconsin!

[glinda]

15. This is such a depressing story. I worry for the Doctor.
