Today is National Voter Registration Day, and our family is absolutely thrilled to have a brand new first time voter. Yes, by God, he is well and truly registered, and this was accomplished despite being targeted by Governor Brownback, the Koch brothers, and our sterling legislators. All these entities were allied against his act of patriotism. With great youthful pride, he will cast his vote for the very first time. You don't hear much about the Kansas role in this shameful act of denying people their right to vote ---- so we have to shout louder, and more often. A first time voter is an amazingly wonderful thing to contemplate. Our young voter will not be denied. If only those who attempt to deny him his vote would know an ounce of shame, this madness might end.
