The time has come!

T-2 hours until my last match is posted to fight Republican gerrymandering in my home state of Kansas. If you can chip in a couple bucks, I will match all contributions to a non-profit fighting the GOP's efforts to remove U.S. Rep Sharice Davids (D-Kansas City) out of her seat. These donations will help fight the planned gerrymander in the legislature and throughout the legal challenges in the courts! Money goes very far in Kansas, and it is believed that the seat can be saved with financial support:

Thanks again to Omaha Steve for helping out in coordinating this very important effort, in an often forgotten state!

I look forward to seeing you all throughout the forums and appreciate your support over the last month! If you can help keep this kicked for 2 more hours, it would be much appreciated!

Here is the GOP planning their gerrymander:

I have been posting my match around 11:40 ET at the conclusion of the Saturday Night Live open, but with contributions still coming in, I will keep my wallet open until roughly 12:30am ET.

The northeast side of the state is actually very progressive, just doing my best to fund some efforts to keep it like that!

I will continue to match until 12:30am ET. Support U.S. Rep Sharice Davids by funding non-profits fighting gerrymandering, and I will match it!

I believe we raised somewhere in the neighborhood of $800, but I went ahead and made it $1,000! Thanks again for all the support!
