Are you familiar with Dan Manning? I've had a chance to meet with him a few times already and hope you get to as well. He's running for the Kansas House - 91st district - that covers part of Wichita and is one of KEC's Political Action Committee's (PAC's) endorsed candidates. Not only that, but Dan is a member of Wichita's KEC chapter and is an "out" candidate. Maybe you will be able to give some time to his campaign by walking door to door or making calls or sending some funds!? Also, "friending" Dan on Facebook is an easy way to stay up on his campaign. Check out his website at manningforkansas.com.

Great turn out tonight with 18 attending our dinner at Taco Jalisco's.

We made tentative plans for next month. There is a new Italian Restaurant coming to town. Bella Italia located in the 300 block of West Wyatt Earp (the old South West Photo), just down the street from the Pizza Hut location near Applebee's.

IF, Big IF it is open we will plan to meet there on Tuesday, September 7th @6:30p.m.

I will send out a reminder later towards the end of August.

Dear fellow Equality Coalition members:

In the aftermath of last week’s death threat, I have received countless messages of encouragement and support. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you.

There are many reasons I'm running for House of Representatives, and none of them have to do with personal gain or glory. The LGBT community in this state needs someone that can speak as one of us. Having straight allies is wonderful and necessary, but until we actually have someone from the LGBT community representing us in Topeka, our voice will never truly be heard

Dear friends,

As many of you know, one of our Equality Coalition members, Dan Manning, is running for Kansas House of Representatives in Wichita. Originally from southern Georgia, Dan is a West Point graduate who served for 8 years in the US Army before being discharged under “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” Dan has since made Kansas his home and directed his passion for serving our nation in to a campaign to serve in the state Legislature.

Dan’s opponent is long-time incumbent Brenda Landwehr. Landwehr, a notorious far-right conservative, has been a vocal opponent of equal rights for gay, lesbian and transgendered Kansans. Since February, she has used Dan’s sexual orientation to stir up her constituent. She has gone so far as to use language that Dan was told was “too offensive” to repeat.
