Kansans Count: We Demand Democracy

Posted January 8th, 2012 by M Christine

Your opinion counts NOW more than ever. We need you to join us at the Capitol in Topeka for KANSANS COUNT: We Demand Democracy on Wednesday, February 15th at 2 pm.
Will it make a difference if you show up? YES! We must join together and show our strength in voice and number. We must do so NOW. If not, we will see unfairness in our State increase and the spirit of democracy in Kansas will no longer lift us, but instead disappear altogether. Together, we can still make a difference.
