Anyone looking for a good deal on children’s clothing will be thankful for my fashion post. Gymboree has opened a store with a more affordable line of children’s clothing.. I just wish the sizes went a little higher for my growing babes.

Important campaign stop and a nap
Well, the children and I have been helping dad this week in the field. The thing about such young volunteers is that it is essential to mix work with fun! I think my children have visited every public park and sweets shop in the first district. Casey (a.k.a. Elvis), one of the many Team Wasinger members, came along in the 15 passenger van with us as we deployed to three different towns. I think Francesca was smitten by his big bright smile as she very unwillingly let go his hand in the ice cream shop!
After a long day of campaigning Dad took a nap on the couch with his favorite one year old!
A visit with friends
Our good friends and their five children stopped by for lunch on their move to Colorado. The children had a great time playing with each other. We wish them well on their new adventure at the Air Force Academy.

Father’s day
We took Dad away from campaign work to take him out for special father’s day dinner at one of our favorite restaurants. The manager served us all cannolis on the house! I guess he figured anybody that is crazy enough to take ten children out to eat deserves free pastries!
A great big thank you!
I just wanted to write a post thanking everyone for the kind notes, food (and homemade ice-cream!), gifts, prayers and laundry( Polly!) that you have bestowed on our family since Aidan’s birth. You have made his home-coming and mine so special and restful. I am starting to feel like I am “back in the saddle” again, thanks to your help. Rob and I feel so blessed to have your support and with God’s help and yours, we will be celebrating together again on August 3rd!
Three great letters to the editor
Vote Wasinger on Aug. 3
I am writing to express my support for Rob Wasinger, a Republican running for Congress in the 1st District to replace Jerry Moran, who is running for Senate. Wasinger is a fourth-generation Kansan, born and raised in Hays, and lives in Cottonwood Falls.
After meeting him through my friend, Judge Tom Tuggle of Concordia, I hosted Wasinger in my home for a reception. He has the right judgment, experience and values to serve us as our next congressman. He has a plan to revitalize our rural economy and stop our rampant out-migration problem. I also like that Wasinger is a great father to his 10 children and a wonderful husband to his wife, Meghan. His motto should be that of my hometown of Beloit: Vision with values.
Most importantly, I am confident Wasinger will continue the great tradition of visiting all 69 counties like Moran has, since Wasinger has been to many counties, even the most rural, several times. He will be the type of congressman who listens, and that’s something we need and deserve.
Join me in supporting Wasinger in the Aug. 3 Republican primary.

Tim’s way
There’s no other way but Tim’s way, and don’t you forget it! If Sunflower Electric or Westar Energy, who opposed his EPA amendment to the state budget, thought that they could reason with Huelskamp on this issue they should have saved their breath. Fortunately, through the leadership of Rob Wasinger and others, the governor was able to assess the negative impact of the budget resolution and veto it.
I have indirectly followed the legislative career of Huelskamp for 14 years, and can assure you that once he has made up his mind about anything, he doesn’t want someone trying to confuse him with the facts.
Wouldn’t it be great having that kind of “give and take” representation in Congress? Sorry, but I don’t think so.

Wasinger would serve district well
Posted May 27, 2010 @ 11:20 AM
EMPORIA — As a student attending Emporia State University, I am concerned with the
growing burden of debt on my generation and am concerned with how I will find a job in rural Kansas when I graduate. Due to my concerns, I began to research who the best candidate is to replace the big shoes of Jerry Moran. Our district needs a representative who will put an end to the outrageous spending in Washington and has an actual plan to bring good-paying jobs back to the “Big First.”
After researching all the candidates, I strongly believe Rob Wasinger is the best choice for the position. Rob reached out to our College Republicans chapter, which no other candidate felt compelled to do. Furthermore, Rob has a plan to stop the outflow of people from counties in the 1st District and return jobs to the area through his New Homestead Act. And because Rob is the father of nine children, I know that Rob will stand by principle, do what’s right for the Big First, and fight for me and future generations of young Kansans.
Please join me in voting for Rob Wasinger in the August 3rd Republican
primary.

Peabody Gazette Article
Candidate: Rural growth most important for district
By ADAM STEWART
Staff writer
The United States needs a “new Homestead Act” — especially Kansas’ 1st Congressional District — candidate Rob Wasinger said.
Rural communities have spent too long exporting young people to cities, he said. It is time to provide incentives for young people to return to small towns and start businesses after they graduate college.
“I’m the jobs candidate in this race,” Wasinger said.
He said he is interested in securing the economy for the future, for people’s children and grandchildren. There is too much spending in the federal government, he said.
He thinks there is still a chance to repeal the Obama administration’s health care package, which he said is wasteful spending. He said a market-based solution would be better.
“I’m a Republican who believes we need to build the roads and defend the homeland,” Wasinger said.
He was raised in Hays, and his parents still live here. After high school he earned an economics degree from Harvard University.
After college, Wasinger worked for Gov. Bill Graves and Rep. Jerry Moran. He has been Sen. Sam Brownback’s chief of staff for five years. He now lives in Cottonwood Falls.
Wasinger and his wife, Meghan, have nine children: Stephen, 16; Sebastian, 12; Carolina, 11; August, 9; Maddy, 8; Basil, 6; Paddy, 5; Frankie, 3; and Anselm, 2. They also are expecting another child; Meghan had a May 22 due date.
