FINALLY, someone willing to run against Connie Morris
State board member draws challenger


GARDEN CITY, Kan. — A former mayor plans to take on the Kansas Board of Education member who opposes educating the children of undocumented immigrants and falsely accused him of being here illegally.

“I don’t think our voice is being heard very well on the state board,” said Cruz, a Democrat. “My intention is to get around to the schools in the district — especially in Garden City, in our own community — and be able to represent our community, southwest Kansas.”

Morris’ 2002 campaign platform included attacks on public education for the children of illegal immigrants. Garden City, like most of southwest Kansas’ larger towns, has seen its Hispanic population increase dramatically in recent years.

In 2003, Morris accused Cruz — who was born in Garden City to native-born citizens — of being an illegal immigrant himself. She later apologized.

3. true. That's why she is better than us
Sure, she has done worse things than I have ever even dreamed of doing.

But she found Jesus, and so she has the divine right to judge us all.

4. There would be poetic justice if he defeated her.
She did spread nasty lies about him, knowing they were lies. And she deserves to be defeated for many, many other reasons!
