CHERYL HUDSPETH FOR CONGRESS - DREAMS CAN COME TRUE!

Democratic Standard-Bearer Cheryl Hudspeth

Cheryl Hudspeth is the Democratic nominee for Congress from Kansas' Second Congressional District. She defeated Sean Tevis and Tom Koch. Koch and Hudspeth were keeping it close until Tevis made a last minute surge to secure second place. Hudspeth received 9,945 votes, to Tevis' 8,022 votes, and Koch ended up with 4.536 votes with 98% of the precincts reporting.

Lynn Jenkins has a war chest full of corporate cash with which to wage the general election campaign. Cheryl Hudspeth has a hope chest full of the things from which dreams are made. The Democrats move into this campaign badly underfunded.

In a general election campaign that can best be described as David v. Goliath, Cheryl Hudspeth is showing savvy by transforming a conventional negative into an unconventional positive. At the bottom of her candidacy's home page, http://hudspeth2010.com/, she runs the following tag setting the money difference between she and Lynn Jenkins: "The Hudspeth 2010 Campaign is proud to be 100% corporate sponsor free."

Lynn Jenkins has done an incredibly poor job representing real people in Kansas' Second Congressional District. She voted against equal pay for women. She's voted numerous times against any control or restraint on Golden Parachutes. She voted against SCHIP, the children's health insurance program. She was one of only 19 shills for the Insurance Industry to vote against stripping the antitrust exemption from Health Insurance Companies. She claims to be for all of the above on an energy plan and consistently votes against green measures. She takes money from and supports Predatory Lenders. Lynn Jenkins' campaign has lined her pockets with special interest money.

Cheryl Hudspeth can win, dreams can come true. If Sean Tevis and Tom Koch remain committed to seeing Corporate Representative to Congress Lynn Jenkins replaced by a Compassionate Caring Democrat they will continue to fight with Cheryl Hudspeth.

Sean Tevis offers technical wizardry, panache, and youthful enthusiasm which will invigorate Hudspeth's candidacy. Tom Koch provides well reasoned ideas, and the willingness to travel those concepts, which speak to the interests of regular people in Kansas' Second Congressional District. The simple fact is that Democrats need all three of these former rivals to become a team.

For her part Cheryl Hudspeth needs to hit the campaign trail early and often. Her campaign must provide regular and frequent press releases highlighting her daily message, rebutting Lynn Jenkins, and persuading voters why she is the better choice. Lynn Jenkins' record is clear. I say carry Lynn Jenkins' record to the people and make her defend her representation of corporate wealth.

College Democrats and Kansas' Young Democrats can make the difference in Cheryl Hudspeth's candidacy. Although the Republican opponent can outspend Hudspeth in radio and television, College Democrats and Kansas' Young Democrats can provide the needed muscle to register voters, go door to door, and, as Sarah Silverman hs taught us, schlep their grandparents to the polls. College Democrats and Kansas' Young Democratsare vital to defeating Lynn Jenkins.

Sean Tevis' Plan to Save America (maybe even the world)

Sean Tevis, aspiring to be a Congressman, web designer, & cartoonist

Sean Tevis is about to announce a way to Save America. It appears from the Pitch Blog, http://blogs.pitch.com/plog/2010/06/sean_tevis_to_save_america_starting_with_kansas_2nd_district.php, that Tevis wants to novel his ingenious plan on the Treaty Clause of the United States Constitution, Article II § 2.


I think Sean Tevis has a great idea, great motive, and great energy. I think Sean Tevis is a great guy. I am concerned that his idea doesn't have a leg to on.

Tevis said that he wants to legislate about issues like health care reform by creating a virtual health care nation that would enter into a Treaty, the way the Federal Government legislates in regards to Native American Nations.

My concerns are that any such Treaty would die a slow death in the United States Senate and that no court will buy the idea that a virtual health care nation is a real nation, or and more importantly, such a nation would not be recognized as a nation for Treaty Clause purposes.  And that's assuming a President would choose to negotiate such a Treaty.

Treaties are like contracts that exist between internationally recognized sovereign states. We don't a Treaty to get a public option for Health Care. We need more progressive Democrats in the House and Senate.

Sean Tevis may have misinterpreted the source code of the United States Constitution. He's thinking outside of the box. I like it when Democrats come up with good ideas, even if they need a little tweaking.

Sean Tevis will make the race in Kansas' Second Congressional District very interesting.
