I was glad to read that Senator Brownback has endorsed Senator McCain.Both of these men have the guts to tell the truth to the American people.They both believe in the right to life.They also understand this nation needs to defeat Islamic fascism in order to insure the survival of Western civilization.I think John McCain and Sam Brownback would make a terrific Republican ticket for next year's general election.
