Trivia that at times isn’t trivia

Four US states are technically designated as commonwealths: Pennsylvania (admitted to the union December 12, 1787), Massachusetts (February 6, 1788), Virginia (June 25, 1788), and Kentucky (June 1, 1792). The first three were among the original 13 colonies (Kentucky was part of Virginia until it became the 15th state). All four use the word commonwealth in their official name: the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the Commonwealth of Virginia, and the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

In addition to this we have several territories, Puerto Rico, Northern Marianas, U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa If I have them right. Plus we have the District of Columbia.

Keep these in mind as a joker in the deck.

Follow the money.

A big thank you to Earl Glynn for putting these campaign finance numbers together.

Here are the facts:

✅ Vote YES expenditures: $3,689,425

❌ Vote NO expenditures: $8,428,688

That is a difference of $4.74 million.

The Vote NO campaign has also raised nearly three times as much money as the Vote YES campaign.

The same people warning that “special interests” will influence our courts are spending millions to keep the current system exactly as it is.

The money tells the story. Those benefiting from the current system are spending millions to make sure it never changes.

Vote YES. Put the decision where it belongs, with the people of Kansas.

While Supreme Court justices are not required to disclose who donates money to their private fundraising corporations, campaign finance laws do require anyone spending money for or against an issue to disclose where the money came from. Besides flyers put out by Planned Parenthood there are two "nonpartisan" groups with nearly identical names spearheading the vote no initiative.

Here are the big money donors to "Kansas United for Impartial Courts" and "Kansans United for Impartial Courts". Thus far the vote no side has spent nearly 3 times as much as the vote yes groups, with most of the no money coming from left leaning or out of state groups, while decrying out of state money in elections.

🤔 The irony is hard to ignore.

The same people chanting “No Kings” are spending millions telling Kansans they shouldn’t have the right to elect their own Supreme Court justices.

If concentrated power is the problem… why defend a system where a small, attorney-dominated commission decides who the public is allowed to choose from?

I trust the people of Kansas more than I trust a handful of insiders.

On August 4th, Kansans have the opportunity to decide who should hold that power: the people or the current system.

VOTE YES.
