Laughing Lynn Jenkins is safely back in Washington this month after a string of nationally embarrassing stories, headlines, and videos. Safe among her real friends, Jenkins is surely hoping to forget what some Kansans have dubbed her horrible no good very bad August recess.
True to form, she's also hoping the people of Kansas will forget all about it too.
But we're not gonna let up.
To start, we're launching JenkinsFail.com, a new website from the Kansas Democratic Party with the sole intent of keeping track of Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins' repeated failures both past and present.
If you're on twitter and would like to help you can tweet this:

Finally, as always, here is the email we just sent out to our list:
Friend --
Have you seen the news these past few weeks?
It seems like you can't pick up a newspaper lately without reading another nationally embarrassing story about Republican Rep. Lynn Jenkins. She's faced criticism from every major newspaper in Kansas, been featured multiple times on cable news, and was even named by MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann as one of the “worst persons in the world!”
Now, Jenkins has returned to the comfort of Washington and we're determined to make sure her failures aren't forgotten.
Let's demand something better from Lynn Jenkins – get involved at JenkinsFail.com today!
Quite frankly, it's embarrassing.
It started with an unfortunate choice of words that erupted into a national scandal when Rep. Jenkins admitted that she failed to read legislation she voted on. It got worse as we released video of Lynn Jenkins failing to show compassion when she laughed at an uninsured single mother and her young son. Lynn Jenkins’ failed leadership needs to stop.
That’s the reason we’re launching this new website -- so there will be a central place to keep track of her repeated failures, both past and present.
Click here to take a look at JenkinsFail.com and take the fight to Rep. Lynn Jenkins!
We’d be remiss to leave out her old failures.
Remember when Lynn Jenkins was State Treasurer?
She failed to properly administer the gas tax funds, costing Kansas counties $22.5 million dollars, and failed to communicate her errors to counties throughout the state. That’s not even the worst. How can we forget her failure to attend Kansas Public Employees Retirement System board meetings, even when the fund lost $1.1 billion dollars.
It’s an all too consistent stream of failures for Jenkins and it’s time we make her own them.
Hold Lynn Jenkins accountable for her failures – go to JenkinsFail.com and take action!
Thanks for all that you do,
Kenny JohnstonExecutive Director -- Kansas Democratic Party
P.S. Don't let her get away with more failures – head to JenkinsFail.com and get involved!
