I'm a citizen activist who for many years has successfully fought against fraud that has targeted public funds. When I discovered a supposedly "Christian" board of Education member had faked receipts and got reimbursement for her family vacation at taxpayers' expense, Kline refused to prosecute his ally. When I discovered Medicare and insurance fraud, and reported it, I do not believe anything was ever done. When I discovered major Internet fraud, and again offered to wear a "wire" to help make a case, I was ignored by Kline's office.
Although there are some issues on which I disagree with Morrison, I have watched him work for four years and have never seen a hint of dishonesty in his words or deeds. This election presents voters with an easy choice.

It's distressing to read Kline's comments, to listen to or watch him talk on radio or television, and to attend debates. I have yet to hear him when he didn't tell some outright lie. Just this week he claimed support from the Kansas Press Association though they had contemplated suing him for his violation of the Kansas Open Meetings Act. Phill was forced to apologize the next day.
Kline couldn't have stopped Jessica's law if he (or anyone else) wanted to. He continuously takes credit for it, but it passed 38-2 in the Senate and 122-0 in the House.
The "tough battle" Kline claims in the Gazette is a fantasy. In fact, Phill has long supported dangerous private prisons and has obstructed the state from building better constructed and less expensive public prisons. Jessica's Law almost failed after it was bundled by supporters with repeal of a ban on private prisons in Kansas in May. Kline took $1,000 from the intendended beneficiary of the repeal, GEO Group.
Kline claims to be a "Christian," but he certainly doesn't show it. Numerous denominations, including Presbyterian, Episcopal, Methodist, Catholic and United Church of Christ have opposed new private prisons with some even calling for the abolition of existing ones.
Kline's appeals to churches imply that his opponent has received money from a doctor who performs abortions. That's just a flat out lie.
Kansas voters deserve an Attorney General who can tell truth from fiction, one who believes in the 8th and 9th Commandments.

This has been a battle between big bucks from the coal industry and concern for Kansans and humanity. The Republicians have sold out their constituents, joined by a few Democrats who have been leaned on by the railroad industry that would haul the coal down from Wyoming. There's nothing in it for Kansans. They'd use our water, foul our air. There's no guarantee for jobs building or running the plants.
The Republicans could have compromised by accepting a permit for a single plant. The power will be going to Colorado, Texas and Oklahoma...almost none would stay in the state. But they insisted on all or nothing last session of the legislature, squandering the whole session, and when we're in the throes of economic upheaval, they're at it again.
Their bill would deregulate the energy industry. We're on the brink of depression caused by deregulation and they want still more.
