Akin vs McCaskill???
Senator McCaskill's rubber stamp has worn thin.
Congressman Todd Akin, 2nd District Missouri, is currently considering taking on Senator Clair McCaskill in the 2012 election.
I don't know much about Congressman Akin, so I'm not ready to give him glowing praise just yet, but he is a co-sponsor of Senate Bill S13, the FairTax Bill. I am looking forward to hearing him speak.
With all the hype surrounding the GOP's field (or lack thereof) for the White House run, those considering down ballot elections are wise to get an early start. Claire is a darling of the Democrat Party and Congressman Akin will have his work cut out for him should he choose to run, but as long as Claire continues to open her mouth on the public airwaves his job should get a lot easier. The National Republican Senatorial Committee has released a scathing video related to the Senator's air transportation fiasco.

and Senator McCaskill's is here.
This Thursday evening, Congressman Akin will be the featured speaker at the monthly FairTax meeting held in Kansas City. The meeting is open to the public and a light dinner will be served.

KC Flash Mob Update
A food and gift card drive for Marine families in need. Can you help?
Saturday, April 23 from 10:00am-noon a charity Flash Mob will descend on the old Richards-Gebaur base!
There are currently about 35 Marine families in need. You don't need to bring a ton of groceries to participate (though if you want to, that's great!) even a few cans or small grocery store gift card is enough. We're doing this to show support for our hard-working Marines and their families.
When: Saturday, April 23 at 10:00
Someone will be in attendance until noon, so if you can't make it right at 10:00 don't let that stop you!
Where: Family Readiness Office
9th Marine Corps District
3805 E. 155th St., Bldg 710
Kansas City, MO 64147-1309

Thank you for your help and we'll see you Saturday morning!
