Recall Sam Brownback

Sam Brownback's political agenda is set on underfunding public education, robbing from the state pension and highway funds, and ignoring the needs of our less fortunate citizens. Governor Brownback is morally and financially bankrupting the state of Kansas.

Why is this important?

The shining economic experiment that Brownback sold the citizens of Kansas has failed miserably, but he refuses to admit it. His real goal is to dismantle the government as we know it, and to that end he has gutted the state treasury, public schools, hospitals and other public services and institutions. Kansans overwhelmingly want good schools, good roads, and a government that is fiscally healthy and takes care of its obligations to all its citizens. While this is NOT an official recall petition (which cannot be collected electronically), it IS a way for citizens of Kansas to declare that Governor Brownback’s policies are killing Kansas and must be stopped. We ask ALL Kansas Legislators to join with us to re-shape and re-work Governor Brownback’s proposals.
GOVERNOR BROWNBACK, WE ARE PETITIONING YOU TO:
• Fully fund public education as ordered by the courts.
• Honor the state's commitment to its pension and highway funds.
• Respect the state’s obligations to ALL citizens of Kansas, regardless of income level, orientation, gender or race.

Friends,

I started a PETITION on July 3 telling local leaders to implement Governor Kelly's statewide mask order, issued Thursday, July 2, 2020. Counties across Kansas are using their authority to ignore it.

Can you sign it, then take a minute right now to share the link with your friends?

Tell local leaders: Mandate masks for public health!

Dr. Garold Minns, Sedgwick County's health officer, issued a mask order of his own on July 8. The Commissioners are coming around as active cases and hospitalizations rise, and medical staff are getting infected. It's urgent!

Can we get 100 signers before noon today? I'm about to deliver the names via email to all five commissioners!

Thanks for all you do!

Jan Swartzendruber

P.S. Add a thank-you to City Council or a reason for your support.
Thanks so much!

COVID-19 is killing us, and mask-wearing can slow it down. My new petition tells local leaders to be creative with yesterday’s statewide order from Gov. Kelly yesterday on mask-wearing.

More Kansans are complying with Kelly’s order, but here's the hitch: Local governments can decide whether to enforce it. What will your city and county do? In Wichita, Mayor Brandon Whipple and the City Council are discussing plans to enforce the order. But Sedgwick County took the easy route in May and dropped all safety guidelines. Result? More COVID cases, hospitalizations, and deaths.

RAISE YOUR VOICE to local leaders considering the impact of their votes: Lives are in their hands! Mask-wearers the new heroes!
