Kansas Community Defense Act

The following is from Phillip Cosby (American Family Association of Kansas and Missouri):
On May 4th the Kansas Senate voted to stop the Community Defense Act (CDA) from becoming law in Kansas. Ignoring the House of Representatives overwhelming vote in favor of CDA, the Senate with a 17-22 vote rejected the CDA. The Senate decided that protecting Sexually Oriented Businesses (SOBs) trumps protecting all Kansas communities. Missouri legislators did protect their communities last year. But in Kansas, for two years in a row now the Kansas Senate refuses to heed the evidence, the court rulings and the common sense logic of the majority of the people in Kansas who support CDA. We owe Sen. Steve Abrams a big thank you. Senator Abrams of Arkansas City showed great courage in forcing a vote on CDA today. Yesterday, Senate leadership opposed and ruled to deny a vote on CDA but Sen. Abrams found a way to get their name on the line and procedurally, forced a vote. See how your Senator Voted today and where they live:
 
 
What now for CDA? Two things:
  • CDA will be back next year in 2012 for another vote and
  • There is a Senate election in 2012 (Let your friends know)
