and this makes me really sad but I am glad it is out there. I have many friends who live in Wichita who worked with him closely both in his clinic and politically. His death was a punch in the gut personally and the aftermath has been gruesome.

Thanks for posting this. I did not know it was out there yet.

ADD: I just reposted this. Thank you.

It must be so very hard to know that something like this has to be made when you are so close to it. I don't know I would be able to look.

that close to it. It hurt in many ways and is hard. I met him on several occasions in Wichita and in Topeka during the legislative seasons and had the chance to talk to him on all those occasions in a very friendly setting. He probably would have recognized me, mostly because he was close to my friends who I was with, but most likely he would not have remembered my name.

IOW, I knew him but was only one of many. I mainly worked with some of the many. I hate for people to think it was more than it was, there were so many more who lived in Wichita who worked tirelessly with him who knew him well. I am sorry if I mislead.

Still I am damned glad this movie has come out. One of those creeps, Troy Newman, almost knocked me down as I came out of the congressional library and did not so much as excuse himself. He is well known around the statehouse for doing creepy little things like that. They need to be exposed as much as possible for what they have done to women all these years.
