VoteSmart is the Voter's best friend!

Of the three candidates for Kansas House District 67, only Nate Wilson had the political courage to identify his positions on VoteSmart. Thankfully, VoteSmart also tracked incumbent Tom Hawk's voting record. Republican Mosier's positions remain in the dark. Click here for links.

Why would a pastor with 11 children run for office? Here's Nate's response to a leader in his church denomination who asked:

How to tell a good law from a bad one

nwilson — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 14:41:03 -0600

A legislator must know how to determine a good idea for a law from a bad idea for a law. To vote wisely for a candidate for legislator, you need to know on what basis that candidate will determine a good law from a bad one. Here's how I will make that determination:

Notice that I'm not asking you for money?

When a candidate asks for your money to campaign with, you can bet he or she will continue asking for your money to spend while in office.

Kansans for Life 2010 Questionnaire filled out by Nate Wilson

nwilson — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 15:30:18 -0600

Kansans for Life apparently only canvassed the Republican and Democratic candidates, but when I saw that my name was not on their published voter's guide, I requested a questionnaire and filled it out as follows the same day that I received it in the mail. I appreciate their efforts to publicise candidates' views on the important issues of life, although their practice of ruling out candidates simply because they are not Democratic or Republican makes their voters guides less than useful in my opinion.

The Sine Qua Non of Enduring Freedom

I'm aware of three candidates running for District 67 of the Kansas House. All three profess the Christian faith. Upon what basis will the candidates practice their faith if elected?

I'm not a politician, and that's a good thing!

The state house is not intended to be a place for politicians, it is a place for ordinary citizens to represent what they believe.

Join Me in Faxing Congress to Stop Fascist ObamaCare and Obey Their Oath of Office

jlmartin — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 09:33:35 -0700

The Fascists and Lobbyists are calling Congress continuously to Vote Against the Constitution and For Fascist National "Health Care"!

Please contact me to give me your name and district info (US Rep district #, zip-code, county, address, whatever), so that I can add you to the list of senders instructing and advising our elected officials to ignore the bankers, corporations, and their lobbyists and minions in the White House; to vote against and stop any unconstitutional acts; and to investigate those officials that are violating their oaths and betraying their constituents, our country, and all of us.

Now is the time to renew our efforts to contact our Representatives and Senators on your behalf and tell them to reject the Illegal, Un-Constitutional, Socialized, Abortion-Funding, Taxing-and-Arresting, End-of-Life-Counseling, Insurance- and Pharmaceutical-Company-Pleasing, Criminally Fraudulent "Health" Care Bill.

Body of Faxed Message

RE: I Instruct You to Stop National HealthCare and Obey Your Oath!

I Instruct you to Stop both the current healthcare plan on the table and plans of using the reconciliation process to make it even easier to sell out America to special interests, including Big Pharma and the Major Insurance companies.

DON'T VIOLATE YOUR OATH OF OFFICE WHEREIN YOU SWORE TO DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION AGAINST ALL ENEMIES FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC.

SCRAP THE CURRENT HEALTH CARE PLAN!

ANY SUCH FEDERALLY IMPOSED HEALTH CARE PLAN IS OUTSIDE THE LIMITED POWERS OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT!

FORCING AMERICAN PEOPLE AND BUSINESSES TO PARTAKE IN A SERVICE AGAINST THEIR WILL IS NOT COMMERCE BUT TYRANNY!

INVESTIGATE THE COLLUSION AMONG CORPORATE INTERESTS AND CONGRESSIONAL LEADERS TO VIOLATE THE CONSTITUTION OPENLY AND WITH CONTEMPT FOR OUR RIGHTS!

Americans rightly reject any socialized or mandated plan that takes away each one's right to choose (by including a public option; or individual mandates; or imposition of fines, taxes, and/or prison time).

Americans rightly reject any unconstitutional seizure of power that dramatically increases the reach and size of the federal government. We want less government - not more!

The American voters want actions in Congress that are constitutional and that do not sell our country out to banks and corporations!

We are watching your actions in Congress:

Either you will fulfill your oath of office and defend us against these assaults by special-interests, banks, corporations, their lobbyists, and the sell-out traitors among you that are violating their oaths and assisting in the assaults upon their constituents' rights and property,

Or you will join in the ranks of the piratical plunderers that are robbing and enslaving your constituents and all Americans in the service of the anti-American banking, pharmaceutical, chemical, insurance, and penal industries.

Americans are not obliged to obey illegal, unconstitutional acts. We will be working to impeach and/or indict the officials that have conspired to deprive us of our God-given, constitutionally protected rights and freedoms, including life, liberty, property, and pursuit of happiness.

Joe Bellis - My response to President's State of the Union Address"

joebellis — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 09:45:30 -0700

I have given thought to how to respond the President's State of the Union address last night. There was so much wrong with that I just can't comment. I can only say that this is the speech The President should have given last night.

"Madame Speaker, Vice President Biden, members of Congress, justices of the Supreme Court, distinguished guests, and fellow Americans, good evening:

Our Constitution declares that I shall from time to time give the Congress information of the State of the Union and recommend for their consideration such measures I shall judge necessary and expedient. It is this event that brings us together tonight.

The State of Union is grim and we, the Congress and I, all to blame for that. So starting now, things are going to change.

First, stop with the applause. Our nation is suffering and doesn't want hear your applause.

Secondly, sit down, listen and open your minds, as you are about to hear concepts never before made from this podium.

Third, let's get down to business.

Join Me in Faxing Congress to Reject the Illegal, Un-Constitutional, Socialized "Health" Care Bill

jlmartin — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 10:19:09 -0700

I faxed the following message to several US Representatives and Senators, in my name, and in the name of others that agree.

Please let me know if you want me to send similar faxes to the some or all of the Representatives and Senators on your behalf. Join me in telling them to reject the Illegal, Un-Constitutional, Socialized, Abortion-Funding, Taxing-and-Arresting, End-of-Life-Counseling, Insurance- and Pharmaceutical-Company-Pleasing, Criminally Fraudulent "Health" Care Bill.

Body of Faxed Message

RE: REJECT Illegal, Un-Constitutional, Socialized "Health" Care!

You can Still Stop the Attempt to Force Socialized Health Care with Government-Mandated Health Insurance on American Men and Women and Businesses.

The Plans currently being Pushed by the Democratic Leadership on Behalf of Major Insurance and Pharmaceutical Companies would Impose Rationing through Un-Elected Committees; Force All Americans to Buy High-Priced, Low-Quality, Politically-Created Health Insurance; Establish "End-of-Life" Panels that Recommend Despair and Death; Create an Economically Unsustainable Government-Run Insurance Plan that Will Force Small, Private Companies out of Business; Use Taxpayer Funds to Insure Illegal Aliens; and Impose Economy-Crushing Taxes and Liberty-Killing Prison-Terms.

In Pursuing this Illegal, Un-Constitutional, Corporate-Monopoly-Building Bill, the Tactics for Obtaining Support for this Bill have been Secrecy, Back-Room Deals, Extortion, "Cash for Cloture," and Other Illegal Political Pay-Offs -- Exposing the Bald-Faced Lies that the Health-Care Debates would be Open and Transparent, and Ignoring the Polls showing that the Majority of Americans are OPPOSED to ANY Attempts to Impose Government-Controlled and Mandated Health-Care.

In Your Oath of Office, You Swore to Defend the Constitution Against All Enemies Foreign and Domestic, Including Those that Bribe Elected Officials for Their Own Interests.

Join Me in Faxing Senators That Bald-Faced Lies Do Not Make Traitorous Bills "Constitutional"

jlmartin — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 14:11:55 -0700

I faxed the following instruction/admonition to several US Senators, in my name, and in the name of others that agree.

Please let me know if you want me to send similar faxes to the some or all of the senators on your behalf. Join me in telling Senators that a Traitorous Bill is not "Constitutional" just because a few officials tell Bald-Faced Lies that it is.

Body of Faxed Letter

You Can Still STOP the Un-Constitutional, Socialist, Insurance-Company-Serving, Care-Rationing, End-of-Life-Counseling, Un-Affordable Health Care Bill.

An Un-Constitutional Bill that Attempts to Impose Mandatory Personal Choices with Heavy Taxes and Punitive Fines and Prison Terms Outside the Limited Federal Powers Defined in the Constitution Does Not Become “Constitutional” simply because Bald-Faced Liars Say So.

To Senators other than Harry Reid:
You must have known that Harry Reid's “Cash For Cloture” Scheme was Illegal, and you were Right. Here is at least one federal law that he violated:
To Senator Harry Reid:
Your “Cash For Cloture” Scheme to pass the Un-Constitutional Health Care Bill was not just Un-Ethical; it was also Illegal:

US Code, Title 18, Part I, Chapter 29, Section 597:

Whoever makes or offers to make an expenditure to any person, either to vote or withhold his vote, or to vote for or against any candidate; and

Whoever solicits, accepts, or receives any such expenditure in consideration of his vote or the withholding of his vote:

Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and if the violation was willful, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.

Join Me in Telling Senators That Obeying Their Oath of Office is Not "Something Wrong"

jlmartin — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 21:14:31 -0700

I faxed the following instruction/admonition to several US Senators, in my name, and in the name of others that agree.

It is outrageous that Senator Harry Reid would openly bribe US Senators to violate their oath of office with our own tax money, and on Christmas Eve, no less, so that vigilant Americans must choose between family gatherings and instructing treacherous officials. And Harry Reid then stated publicly that there must be "Something Wrong" with any Senators that didn't accept his bribes of specially and Un-Constitutionally appropriated "pork."

Please let me know if you want me to send similar faxes to the some or all of the senators on your behalf. Join me in telling Senators that there is Nothing "Wrong" with obeying their Oath of Office.

Body of Faxed Letter

RE: Obeying Your Oath of Office is NOT "Something Wrong With You"

I Instruct You to STOP the Un-Constitutional, Socialist, Insurance-Company-Serving, Care-Rationing, End-of-Life-Counseling, Un-Affordable Health Care Bill.

To Senators other than Harry Reid:
Harry Reid shamelessly admitted that he believes that "there is Something Wrong" with any senator that didn't benefit from his "pork-fest" of buying treacherous, oath-violating votes with US TaxPayers' money.
To Senator Harry Reid:
Shame on You, Harry Reid! You Lobby Our Elected Officials to Vote Against Our Interests and Against Their Oath of Office to Defend the Constitution Against Domestic Enemies, Like Yourself. You Bribe Our Elected Officials With Special Appropriations, Which is Un-Constitutional. You Publicly State of Senators who Heroicly Rejected Your Treacherous Bribes that "There is Something Wrong With Them."

"Something Wrong" with Obeying Your Oath of Office?! By corollary, that means that accepting Treacherous Un-Constitutional Bribes is "Something Good."

Join Me in Faxing Senators to Reject Un-Constitutional Socialized Health Care

jlmartin — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 11:29:12 -0700

I have faxed this message to several US Senators that can make a difference on the Health Care vote.

If you want me to send similar faxes on your behalf to these Senators and your own Senators, give me your contact info to include on the fax, and any notes on the message, and I can submit them.

Body of Faxed Message

You Can Stop the Un-Constitutional Health Care Bill. Obey your Oath of Office rather than Selfish Corporate and Globalist Interests.

This plan would create rationing through government committees, force all Americans to buy over-priced, politically created health insurance, establish “end-of-life” panels, create an economically unsustainable government-run insurance plan, use taxpayer funds to insure illegal aliens, and impose economy-crushing taxes. More than 88 million Americans could LOSE their private, employer-based coverage. Yearly premiums for Americans with private coverage could jump as much as $460 per person as a result of more cost-shifting. ...

This is Outrageous, Outside the Limited Federal Powers, and Un-Constitutional, and Your Oath of Office Instructs You to Stop it.

Do the RIGHT thing: REJECT H.R. 3962 (the “Affordable Health Care for America Act”), S.1796 (the “Healthy Families Act”), and/or any OTHER attempt to force socialized health care or government-mandated health insurance on Americans.
