  • Kansas Legislators Message of Support and “Call to Action”
    Kansas Legislators Message of Support and “Call to Action” We come together united as state legislators, republicans and democrats, state senators, and state representatives with this important message. We have reached a tipping point in the battle with COVID-19. If widespread community transmission continues to increase, our hospitals will be unable to meet the health care needs of Kansans across the state. We need people to change their behaviors and act fast to curb the spread because our status quo is not working and the implications are dire. This is not a COVID-19 crisis. This is a health care crisis. This holiday season, the greatest kindness you can give to your loved ones is doing your part to preserve their health. Wear your mask; wash your hands; stay home as much as possible; and keep your distance. Lives depend on it. As we enter the winter months, cases continue to rise and without action, this will continue. It is critical we reignite a sense of duty and ownership to do all we can to slow the spread of this virus to protect the health and safety of individuals and their loved ones. While we cannot change the hearts and minds of everyone, we each can take personal responsibility to make changes that will ultimately be lifesaving. We are united in our message: • While the news about vaccines gives us all hope, we must take steps NOW to bend the curve, curtail widespread community transmission and ultimately decrease hospitalizations so that care is available for all • We support the efforts across our region and Kansas to take additional steps to practice the pillars of infection prevention.

  • May 17, 2021 the Honorable Tom Vilsack, Secretary United States
    May 17, 2021 The Honorable Tom Vilsack, Secretary United States Department of Agriculture 1400 Independence Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20250 Dear Secretary Vilsack: It’s been brought to our attention that America is losing its ranches at an alarming rate. We must act now to protect our food supply. Food security is national security. We, the undersigned elected legislators from our respective states, care deeply about the well-being and preservation of America’s independent cattle producers. American agriculture is the bedrock of the US economy. In our elected capacities as state legislators, we are uniquely positioned to know first-hand the grassroots challenges independent family producers face in today’s highly concentrated and persistently dysfunctional cattle market. As state legislators we closely represent our producers’ interests. We desire to firmly stand on the matters of accountability. When our constituents’ livelihoods are not being properly represented by a mandatory beef checkoff program that has taxed them for 35-years without giving them an opportunity to express where those “advertising” dollars go, the system is broken. This tax was voted on in 1985 under the auspices that the money raised would go to promote exclusively USA beef. Unfortunately, that money is being funneled away from its original intent and is being used by private associations and entities that do not exclusively represent USA beef. Why is a federally mandated tax going to support and promote foreign beef as well as private entities? Our domestic producers are paying USA dollars, raising USA cattle, and should have the basic protection of the original intent of this Beef Checkoff program.
