In my last update on Senator Brownback, I noted how the McCain campaign had enlisted Brownback in effort to gain more votes in Iowa.  Well now, Senator Brownback has endorsed presidential candidate John McCain.  When saying reasons why he is endorsing McCain, "John McCain has the character , values, and the experience to lead America starting on day one of his presidency.  I am proud to join the many Kansas who stand behind John McCain and will continue working hard to send him to the White House."  Lately, this is what Senator Brownback has been up to.  Being a helpful worker for McCain's campaign.  It should be interesting to see if Brownback can get his state to vote for McCain in the primary.

Brownback Update (January 14-J21)

Senetor Sam Brownback has continued his support for his fellow pro-life protector John Mccain. Brownback's support for Mccain only adds to his backing, and will surely help him when the Kansas election comes around.

Brownback Update Post New Hampshire

With Brownbacks support behind McCain it will be interesting to see if it effects the vote at all although most likely not because of the little amount of support Brownback had. What he did have will most likely show up in the south and if endorsing McCain does have any effects on the primaries, we will see it there.

Senator Brownback's name continues to be heard in the presidential race even with his withdrawal from the election.  Before the Iowa caucuses, presidential candidate John McCain enlisted Senator Brownback in an effort to gain more votes from the Catholic community.  McCain felt the need to call upon Brownback for help because it is believed that Christian conservatives do indeed effect the outcome of the caucus.   In response to helping McCain, Brownback described McCain as, "a genuine American hero with a conservative record who has what it takes to lead this country."

Brownback Update (December 17, 2007)

Brownback was at it again this time introducing a resolution that would require the American government to keep North Korea on its list of state sponsers of terrorism until they released abducted Japenese nationals. The resolution was a reaction to the discussion around the idea of removing North Korea from the list because of denucluerination.
Although Brownback is out of the race he continues to make noise through his active political ways. These types of current events topics will be essential to the presidential campaign. Nominees will need to be able to give out their own resolutions for any controversies and conversations in the US government right now. It will be interesting to see who supports Brownback on the tough regulations of North Korea, and using the list as leverage.

Brownback update 4

This past week Brownback commented on the recent report of Iran's nuclear energy situation, which as of right now has been halted but Iran still wishes to have nuclear energy. Brownback wants to encourage the United States' allies and Iranians to ask the Iranian government to stop in their pursuit for nuclear weapons. He believes we need to support the countries pro-denocracy movement rather than their nuclear weapons.

Brownback

In the beginning of this past week, Senator Brownback was in Des Moines, Iowa where he was encouraging his former supporters to back John McCain in the upcoming election. Brownback believes that McCain's Christian pro-life views match his own.  Later in the week, Brownback stated his support for the Down syndrome bill, which would force doctors to give a more comprehensive medical report regarding fetuses who test positive for Down syndrome. Due to his pro-life views, Brownback believes this bill will reduce the amount of abortions in America.  Brownback then shared his frustration with the progress of the Farm Bill.  He related the problems to majority leader Jack Reed, saying he has been constantly stalling and refusing any attempts at furthering the process of  the Farm Bill.
