20-PAGE NEWSPAPER INSERT HIGHLIGHTS ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN CONGRESS AND SETS TONE FOR UPCOMING CAMPAIGN

TOPEKA, KS - Over the next week, Congresswoman Nancy Boyda (Kansas Second District) will publish a 20-page newspaper insert in 48 newspapers across the Kansas Second Congressional District. The tabloid-sized Congressional Update highlights Congresswoman Boyda's legislative and constituent service accomplishments from the last two years, and it sets the tone for her upcoming 2008 re-election campaign.

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.

Thank you so much for your support in the 2006 election! Our victory was sweeping and historic, and it was possible only thanks to your tireless efforts. I strive every day to live up to your extraordinary trust in me and ask for your continued prayers and support.  Please join our campaign by signing up for our e-newsletter or contributing $100, $50, or $25. Your support is profoundly appreciated!
