I’m working with the Fitzgerald campaign in district 5, so I have a front row seat as to this battle. You are definitely right about Steve needing to take this district and beat the Governor’s pick: Kelly Kultala.

I’m just back from campaigning with Steve and things are looking pretty good. We hit the parade for Tiblow days in Bonner Springs this morning with very good feedback even from some Democrats in Bonner. Tonight we attended a fundraiser dinner for catholic schools in Leavenworth with equally good results. We’re getting good contacts but as always we need more. We are definitely winning the “ground war” of door to door campaigning of those we talk to.

We are also hearing about the campaign the dems are launching. They have plenty of money and their key tactic (and it’s pretty good) is to hire young people to go door to door to sign up people to vote. They aren’t campaigning for the person or issues so much… they carry some Moore/Kultala names on shirts etc. but they are signing folks (democrats) up that aren’t on the roles I guess with the theory that when they vote they will vote straight Dem.

This makes it ALL the more important to GET OUT OUR VOTERS. Conservatives and pro-lifers MUST get out to vote AND we need to get our OWN friends registered AND we must get ACTIVE in these campaigns. We can’t just talk about it; we have to share email contacts, share information, get people registered, display yard signs, and yes even contribute to these conservative campigns.

I’m sure Fitzgerald’s campaign is representative as it has been in the past. He is getting help mainly from personal friends and families. That’s good but he is very limited in what he can do and advertise. So please help– spreaqd the word, share the contacts and if you can contribute.
