As a U.S. Senator, Kansas Republican Sam Brownback insists the nation's health-care crisis can be cured with private-sector solutions. Now, those private-sector industries are writing checks to boost Brownback to the Governor's mansion in 2010.

I speak as an insurance, banking and investment professional who is completely adverse to those promoting further political roles for Sam Brownback. He is as out of step in his views on healthcare as he is on almost every other major issue of our day. He consistently takes positions and votes in ways that are contrary to the interests of the nation and of the people of Kansas who have entrusted him with their voice Washington. Yet instead of recognizing that his ideology has been overwhelmingly rejected, he had the hubris-driven audacity to instead run for the highest office in the land. The results were as predictable as they were embarassing - for him and for our state. For many of us, Brownback has far-outlived his purpose as a political figure of any real substance.
It is now time for him to retire back to Parker, KS and let governing to those who are looking to the future rather than an a fundamentalist view of the world that consistently and arrogantly puts personal faith and extreme right-wing morality ahead of the public good, something that has sadly become characteristic of our present voice in the US Senate.
Bringing Brownback's political/religious agenda and priorities to state government will take this state backwards at a time when intelligent govenance, good judgment and uplifting spirit are sorely lacking in the Sunflower state.
