Time to retire another member of the Ruling Class, Senator Sam Brownback (R) Kansas over 'wind' pork

Senator Sam Brownback, (R) Kansas wants "wind" dollars pretty bad. That means abandoning the country and jumping on board with 'climate' profiteers. A concerned citizen writes an open letter to him about how wrong this is.

Using public funds to pimp for the wind welfare queen brings us all together, in the process corrupting

the heart and soul of our body politic."
