Dear Sen. Pilcher-Cook,
Oh Mary….what a difficult time for you. I had to reach out when I heard the news. You were removed, pulled, yanked or as they say given the old heave-ho as chairwoman from the Senate Public Health and Welfare Committee.
Kansas Sen. Mary Pilcher-Cook, a Shawnee Republican, was removed from a committee chairmanship Friday for adding an Obamacare amendment to an unrelated bill, a violation of Senate rules, said Senate President Susan Wagle.
Pilcher-Cook’s amendment would have forced a Senate vote on Medicaid expansion, which she opposes.
We can’t have the Senate voting to expand Medicaid so Wagle just shoved your right off that committee to send a message.
Your response took her to task.
“Instead of allowing members to stand on principle and vote their conscience, she seeks to push conservative principles aside and push her own political agenda,” she said in a statement.
That’s right Mary! How dare she push her own political agenda. Oh the outrage. Kansas citizens don’t have time for this type of political theater. We need politicians such as yourself who don’t do such things and never push their own political agendas.
I am so glad i found your blog. You say everything i am thinking but a little more gently. …thank you!

..pleasantly eccentric take on politics? Not exactly!!
..a monotonous harangue on anyone in KS politics with an (R) behind their name? Precisely!!
..and all of these individuals were elected by the great people of KS? Exactly!!
Over and over, what do the voters report that they hate about politics? The constant bickering, the polarization of the parties, the demonizing of opponents, etc.
May you reap what you sow.
Wow. Well I guess you aren’t a fan. That’s ok. Have a great day!

Aimee Patton, why promote death, when you could be promoting life, understanding and peace?
I see-you are reaching out to me more because of the abortion issue than the Wagle vs Pilcher-Cook spat. I respectfully disagree with you and wish you the best.
