Topeka, KS-Today, Dennis Moore (KS-3) voted for the Republican version of the terror surveillance bill (FISA), after opposing it previously.

Kris Kobach, Chairman of the Kansas Republican Party stated, "Once again, residents of the Third District are witnessing Dennis Moore's chameleon-like behavior. Moore originally voted against bringing this bill to the floor for debate. However, now that he is concerned about appearing 'soft on terror' in an election year, he decides to support the bill. I just hope he doesn't change his position again if this bill isn't enacted."

"This is just another example of Moore's political posturing. On many issues in the past, he has taken contradictory positions, voting one way but telling voters something completely different. Residents of the Third District deserve a Member of Congress who is consistent in what he says and does. It's time for a change."
