I have a hard time believing I live in the same state, or the same WORLD for that matter, as the Governor of Kansas, Sam Brownback.  This man is bound and damn determined to ignore the reality of growing poverty across the state.  He has cut budgets and revised requirements for food stamps, is trying to pass legislation to govern medicare in the state instead of allowing federal oversight so that he can use that money to fund the state general budget, and is threatening to do away with early childhood program funding that is legislated to be used for specific purposes in the state.

Governor, don't you think you should perhaps find out who your constituents are or don't you give a damn?  Perhaps you're one of those people who believe that poor people should just go somewhere else?

For God's sake, educate yourself man!  Go to inner city Kansas City or Topeka and see what it's like!  Go to Southeast Kansas and visit the children who survive because their parents receive foodstamps!

Oh, and by the way, 90% of those families who receive foodstamps HAVE AT LEAST ONE PARENT WHO WORKS OUTSIDE THE HOME!  Yes, Governor, they are not all "sit on their ass and do nothing losers."  That's what happens when your solution to eradicating poverty is bringing in jobs that don't pay a wage that allows a family to live above the federal poverty level.

What are you afraid of?  That you might grow a heart?
