Is Jim Ryun the Face of Kansas?

Not the Kansas I know and love, the state I spent many happy days visiting family when I was growing up. Jim Ryun is a far right science hating conservative. The kind who conspired to make that great state a laughing stock. But the people are fighting back, and I know they'll show Ryun the door in November. Why? Just take a look.

Nancy Boyda is running against Ryun and is asking people to join "with me and hundreds of Kansas citizens who are working to take back control of our government." Good luck Nancy! And don't let Ryun run away from his record - voting with Bush 89% of the time, and with the GOP party line 98% of the time.
