Why I’m Here

I am MTV News' Kansas correspondent for the 2008 election, and I want to hear from Kansans who have stories to tell or are passionate about issues. Join our state's group, called Nothing's Wrong with Kansas!

 

Young Americans have an immense opportunity to set the stage for the direction our country takes. A lot of people say that young voters are apathetic and take much of what we enjoy for granted. Voting and staying knowledgeable about the important issues under debate prove these naysayers wrong. Think provides a fantastic opportunity to get involved and stay engaged in the democratic process.

Wichita's Congressional Hope
Kansas State Sen. Donald Betts has "had a life," as he puts it. Born in Wichita, his family found themselves homeless at times. When they moved to Las Vegas when he was young, they landed in a drug- and prostitution-riddled neighborhood. His friends, he says, ended up in jail or in the morgue.
