For the upteenth thousandth time, Dan....Fancy tricks and strategies and quips and posts got nothing but a bill signed into law. You are not going to win this thing by doing the same things that made you lose it, last time.

Your state is on the verge of bankruptcy, your budget director cannot conclude what this bill may cost the state, and your legislature is irresponsible to even consider such an expenditure....especially in the absence of a demonstrated need.

People need to be raising the ire of the taxpayer...continuously bombarding the media and the legislature with the same fiscal reality....Kansas cannot afford a law that it does not need.

Pay Attention real carefully - Making noise to scare away crows can be helpful at times.

Making YELLING noises on here is only good for your ego, AND gives away your intentions to the other side AND shoots your wad before you get to use it AND lets the other side prepare for your coming SO your ammo is wet and useless. Make these noises in emails to the masses - make these noises to the media - TV - Newspapers - Legislators - Etc.

Screaming here - all thats ever accomplished is to tell them you're coming.

All I know is, doing things in 2009 the same way they were done in 2008, will do little more than achieve a second signature from your governor on the same bill.

Chaos has gone a long way in keeping legislators from backing bad bills. Why not create some by having the mental midgets on a committee that no longer exists try to have a bill returned to the legislature for a third time...reopen the debate on grandfathering....while lobbying legislators to disapprove it. More letters...more emails....more chaos....

Let your Governor be a hero for her bankrupt state and veto it. Perhaps that campaign should get started, soon.

Feb. 18; bill passes the house as ammended; 97 yeas, 26 nays.

Feb. 19; Recieved and introduced as SJ 217; referred to Commerce.

Letter writing did not help. No media responses at all. Perhaps Senator Brownlee, head of the commerce committee, will now have something to say. I have been quiet, and I have screamed. I do not know what else I can do. Governments only listen to themselves.

Has the Senate Commerce Committee heard from you?
