Click here to submit your guess on what Pat Roberts compared health care reform too! If you get it right, you'll get a sneak peek of the new KDP website. (trust me, you'll want to see it!)

P.S. The answer and video is below, but we'll trust you! ;)

Alright, the answer is below.......

....with some commentary....

....but wait, don't you want to make a guess first?

If you win, you'll get a sneak peek of our new website -- it's really good looking, web 2.0 centric, and has all kinds of fun tools for electing Democrats. It'll only take a few moments to submit your answer -- we'll tell you the right one after you submit your answer. How can you resist such a great offer?

Alright...

...the answer is: "Pearl Harbor." 

Now granted, we are nearing a historic moment in our country -- but one that should be praised as a positive step forward. Not one that will kill 2,402 Americans while wounding another 1,282. You'd think Roberts could be a bit more, well, appropriate when talking about a bill that will provide health care to the 350,000 Kansans that don't have it. Roberts should know better, and do better.

Oh, and don't forget to make your "guess" and get a sneak peek of our new site.

America mourns the loss of a historic legislator

TOPEKA –Kansas Democratic Party Chairman Larry Gates released the following statement on the passing of Senator Edward Kennedy:

“Today we mourn the loss of one of the most dedicated and compassionate public servants in the history of the US Senate with the passing of Ted Kennedy.

Senator Kennedy was a tireless champion for the hopes and dreams of millions of ordinary Americans. He made the struggle of the uninsured, the discriminated against, and the worker his own and devoted his life and labor to their cause.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his family as we mourn the loss of an icon. May Senator Kennedy rest in peace and may the dreams he fought for soon be realized.”

Tomorrow, President Obama is holding a live strategy meeting at 1:30 P.M. for supporters of his three principles for health care reform. We'd like you to join in, either online or by phone.

He'll also be answering you're live questions during the strategy meeting.

You've already taken substantial action in this fight, but there's still so much more to do. So I hope you'll join the KDP and the President tomorrow and get more involved in passing reform.

Failure to lead a disservice to her constituents

TOPEKA - Last week, Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins told a Topeka crowd that she hasn’t shared her healthcare plan because she’s never received an invitation. Following her announcement the Kansas Democratic Party launched a petition inviting her to release the details of her secret plan to fix health care.

Today, Kansas Democratic Party Executive Director Kenny Johnston reiterated his invitation to Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins:

“In times of crisis you can lead, follow, or get out of the way. Being a leader requires Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins to share her plan with her colleagues and the people of Kansas. Instead she has opted to follow the will of her special interest allies and do nothing to correct the misinformation and confusion they have generated.

Lynn Jenkins, a self-proclaimed “member of ‘the Party of No’” should either make public her secret plan or respectfully, get out of the way. Everyday she fails to provide leadership on this critical issue another 70 Kansans lose their health insurance coverage.”

Lynn Jenkins says she has the solution for our broken health insurance system. The only problem? It's a secret -- and she won't share it with us!

I wanted to pass this along today.

Public safety programs have been hit hard both on the local and state levels because of declining revenues and the national recession.

Despite opposition by Kansas Senators Sam Brownback and Pat Roberts, Judge Sotomayor was confirmed earlier today with a bipartisan show of support.

Yesterday, Sen. Sam Brownback (R) had a bit of a problem while addressing the KS Chamber of Commerce.

Today is the President's 48th birthday and the KDP is looking to make it special!
