We are LIVE in Hutchinson, talking about Change for Kansas. We'll be putting up a live twitter feed under the hashtag #Unite4KS.
Today in Hutchinson we have 3 live bands who will be performing, and we're going to get set with some great speeches from our candidates and members of the community.
Here with us today are Jean Schodorf, candidate for Secretary of State, Jim Sherow, candidate for the 1st House District (The Big 1) and our candidate to challenge Jan Pauls - the now Republican who left the Democratic party over her issues with 'gays and birth control' (as seen on Aaron Sorkin's "The Newsroom")
You can also follow this event LIVE on UStream, under this same handle (tmservo433) listed as Kansas Events. http://www.ustream.tv/
We welcome you to come and participate, stop by.
Also here dong some local presentations: Women4Kansas, AFL-CIO and More.
We're glad to have all of our guests, and we invite them for Ice Cream and Watermelon.
As candidates give their speeches, I'll add the best excerpts below!
Thank you to all attending!
We're going to be updating live with lots of great information especially text coming from the speeches.
