Nancy's Blog

Thanks so much to the 1,200+ of you who've added our campaign as a friend on Facebook!  (If you haven't yet joined, just visit http://www.facebook.com/ to sign up.)  Now that you're a friend, read on to learn the three steps that I need you to take to magnify our campaign's message. 

Last week, I joined over a hundred supporters to launch my re-election campaign with a rally at the Topeka Statehouse.  Thanks so much to all of you who attended!
 
In case you weren't able to join us last week, here's the prepared text of my announcement speech.  A video will follow soon!

Late last month, I stopped by the Kansas Secretary of State's office to deliver a stack of petitions signed by 2,986 Kansans - 500 more signatures than required to file for re-election to the United States Congress.

If you've ever collected signatures for a petition, you know that it's a backbreaking exercise in grassroots democracy. You must engage voters in conversation, one at a time, and persuade them that your cause is worthy of their support. You need superb grassroots organizing, a broad base of support, and plenty of old-fashioned hard work.
