Representative Avery Anderson

Today we honor the ones who didn't come home.

Real people, with names, who died in uniform so the rest of us could live the way we do. It started after the Civil War, when communities across the country began gathering at cemeteries to lay flowers on the graves of fallen soldiers. We have been doing it ever since.

Take a moment today to reflect upon the ultimate sacrifice some have made in defense of our freedoms.

If you're in Newton this morning, join me at Greenwood Cemetery at 9 a.m.
Congressman Ron Estes will be speaking. Come be part of it.

Registered s*x offenders should not be chaperoning children on field trips. Right now, Kansas has no law preventing it. What happened in Goddard proves exactly why that has to change. I supported legislation this session to fix it and it didn't pass, but this will be a priority when we return in January.
