I dare to ask the women of Kansas to stand up and use our voting power to remove Senator Sam Brownback from Kansas Government. By his own actions Brownback has shown he cares nothing for important women’s issues. He voted against the Preventive Services Coverage Ammendment that would expand women’s access to preventive services such as mammograms. He also voted against the Equal Pay Bill, a gender pay equity law, and the Lily Ledbetter Pay Act that would redefine discriminatory salaries. Instead Brownback focused on anti-abortion amendments.
Brownback’s participation in the anti health care prayercast was proof that he is just another religious radical posing as a politician. Reminiscent of “God hates gays” Fred Phelps and Dr. Tillers murder by Scott Roeder. Brownback represents Kansas as a hot bed for the Religious Right and the crazy antics that go along with any radical religious group. If you combine Brownback’s voting record and his radical religious views, I would stop to ask if Brownback thinks of women as baby making, cheap labor, that have little need for proper health care.
I foresee that the state of Kansas with Brownback as Governor as very bleak, with no funding for education or health care. But somehow miraculously there will be plenty of money to handout to rich corporations and plenty of protection for gun toting religious radicals and their ideals. Brownback is out of step with the values of the everyday Kansan.
Women make up just over 50% of the Kansas population. We have the numbers, we have the power! Do we give it a voice? I call the women of Kansas to protect our bodies, to protect our families, and to protect the way of life we want for all Kansans. Brownback must go.
