RPKS Members and Friends:

We are quickly approaching the 2006 State Convention of the Reform Party of Kansas.  This meeting is also the nominating caucus for the selection of our slate of candidates to run in November 2006 (looks like Nov. 7th).  The State Convention/Caucus will be on May 27th or June 3rd in Maple Hill, KS.

If you are interested in running for office on the Reform Party of Kansas ballot, or if you know someone who might be, please let me know, or let them know that they can contact me:

We need to reclaim this country and state for Americans against the growing hostility against us, both domestic and foreign.  Many of our problems today are due to the lack of good candidates over the last several decades (and an abundance of self-serving politicians).

Just a name on the ballot can give voters a real alternative to the two major parties that have led us arm in arm to our current perilous
situation.

Another benefit for having a candidate named on the ballot is that radio advertising is available at the lowest rates, which makes it a lot easier to reach voters (and those who have long since given up voting) with the pressing issues (some are listed below).

Please don't dismiss running for office just because you are "too busy."  Other people can help with your campaign, but the name on the ballot is the necessary first step.  The filing fees are not too high (except for the state-wide offices).  With a willing candidate, raising the filing fee should not be too hard.

Let me know if you are interested.  Our nominating caucus will be on May 27th or June 3rd in Maple Hill, KS (at our state convention).  The filing deadline is June 12th at Noon (no exceptions!  We need to be well ahead of this).

Please pass this on to other Kansans that might be able to run for
office.

Thanks for your consideration and for all your efforts to make a better today and tomorrow in Kansas!
