The Truth About Sedgwick
County District Attorney NOLA FOULSTON!
Below are recent articles published by K-TIP during the recent campaign
concerning District Attorney Nola Foulston.
[Congratulations
to challenger Mark Schoenhofer for having the courage to persevere in the face
of a vicious personal smear campaign waged by Foulston.]
Tiller’s
PAC Floods Homes With Misleading Mailers In DA’s Race
As
usual, ProKanDo sinks to deception to protect one of Tiller’s favorite cronies
ProKanDo,
the Political Action Committee founded and heavily funded by late-term
abortionist George Tiller, has released thousands of deceptive mailers in an
attempted eleventh-hour smear campaign against Sedgwick County District Attorney
challenger Mark Schoenhofer.
The
mailer falsely claims, “He has a track record of breaking the law.”
The
mailers make spurious and undocumented claims against Schoenhofer’s personal
life and falsely claims that he did not pay three years of taxes.
However,
records show that Schoenhofer is current on his taxes, and has no creditors.He has never been charged with or convicted of a crime.
“This
just goes to show the gutter level of sleazy politics that the abortion lobby
will sink to in order to protect one of their own,” said K-TIP Chairperson
Cheryl Sullenger.
ProKanDo
is currently under anethics
investigation for concealing the identities of hundreds of donors and
not reporting the required occupation of over a hundred more.
According
to recently filed contribution
reports, ProKanDo raised $150,732 during the July 25-October 23, 2008,
reporting period. $101,000 of that money came directly from George Tiller.
Tiller
has been protected from prosecution by the current District Attorney, Nola
Foulston, even though two judges ruled that there was probable cause to believe
that Tiller committed 30 crimes associated with illegal late-term abortions.Foulston’s office is responsible for misdirecting two citizen-called
grand juries, both of which wanted to indict Tiller, but did not due to pressure
from Foulston’s office.She has
also shielded Tiller from prosecution for a hit-and run incident on a local
pro-lifer and other incidents that have been reported to her office.
“For
Tiller, there is a lot at stake in this District Attorney’s election.Without Nola Foulston to protect him from prosecution for his apparent
habitual criminal behavior, it is very likely that Tiller will be charged,
tried, and convicted,” said Sullenger.“Lying
to the public about Foulston’s political rival, Mr. Schoenhofer, is almost to
be expected from these people.After
all, they have no conscience about sucking the brains out of innocent viable
pre-born babies, why should they have any conscience about lying or breaking any
other law?”
Foulston’s
Office Investigated For SRS Abuse Scandal
Nola
Foulston’s office will be investigated by a bipartisan legislative agency for
allegations that prosecutors “bullied” workers with the Kansas
Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services into putting false information
into reports in order to insure that children were wrongly taken from their
families.
“I
can think of nothing that could be a worse betrayal of the public trust or a
more egregious abuse of power that to use the office of the District Attorney to
wrongfully remove a child from his or her parents,” said K-TIP chairperson
Cheryl Sullenger.“The trauma
those families have to endure because of Foulston’s scandalous mismanagement
of SRS cases is something that will tragically stay with them for a lifetime.”
Many
families have come forward to share their horror stories of having their
families torn asunder without cause at the direction of Foulston’s office.
The
Associated Press reported that, according to Deputy
Post Auditor Leo Hafner, the investigation should begin in “two or
three weeks” and would include a survey of SRS employees to determine the
extent of prosecutorial pressure.The
investigation is expected to take up to five months to complete.
This
is not the only scandal to have embroiled Foulston in recent months.Others include:
Violent crime has
risen under Foulston due to criminals being emboldened by her policy of only
filing on “slam dunk” cases, and her habit of offering reduced sentences
to child rapists and other violent offenders in order to avoid having to try
the cases in court.
Allegations that
Foulston is only serving as a part-time DA while other interests, including
her dog breeding hobby and jewelry business, occupy most of her time.
Foulston’s
recent decorating binge cost taxpayers over $105,000 while her office
refused to prosecute numerous cases, citing budget constraints
Foulston is
accused of abusing the power of the DA’s office by wrongly dismissing 30
criminal charges of illegal abortions against her friend, George Tiller,
even though two independent judges determined that there was probable cause
to believe that Tiller violated the law.
“These
scandals show that the citizen’s of Sedgwick County cannot take one more
minute of Nola Foulston, much less four more years,” said Sullenger.“For the sake of our families, we pray that the citizens of Sedgwick
County will vote for a change in the DA’s office on November 4th.”
Kansas
Judicial Review Slams Foulston’s Performance, Relationship To Tiller
October
30, 2008
The
Kansas Judicial Review has released a statement
slamming District Attorney Nola Foulston, stating that she has allowed her
relationship with late-term abortionist George R. Tiller to “interfere with
her prosecutorial judgment.”
The
statement, written by KJR Chairman Richard J. Peckham, openly links Tiller to
Foulston through the adoption of Foulston’s now-adult son, Andrew.Peckham states:
Her
adopted son, now an adult, apparently came to her through the services of
George Tiller.Although the
probate adoption records are not available to the public, and this writer has
never seen that Court record, there is ample circumstantial evidence to
support a reasonable belief that Tiller shrewdly presented the adoption
opportunity to Nola in order to neutralize the DA for purposes of protecting
himself against potential prosecution for violation of abortion practice
rules.
Peckham
makes three points as to why he believes the Foulston-Tiller adoption story is
credible.
At the time of the
adoption, it was common knowledge that Foulston adopted her son from Tiller,
suggesting that she made the information public by sharing it with a number
of people in her office.
Neither Foulston
nor Tiller have denied that the adoption took place, as commonly believed.
Tiller told a
newspaper in Oklahoma that it was his practice to provide adoptions for
those who were pro-choice and were supportive of his abortion business.
Peckham
stated that Foulston should have recused herself from participation in any
Tiller prosecution because of the appearance of a conflict of interest.
“Instead,
in my opinion, she chose to obstruct justice, refusing to file charges against
Tiller, despite credible evidence of alleged violations of the law.Her performance breeds disrespect for the judicial system,” said
Peckham.
In
addition, Peckham criticized Foulston for “cheating the tax payers by spending
inadequate time performing her official duties” and for conducting
“desperate and misleading smear tactics, including alleged misuse of private
police records, [in an] attempt to hide the truth that her election opponent,
Mark Schoenhofer, is a good family man and father, and a fine lawyer with
substantial experience in criminal law.”
“It’s
time for a change,” he concluded.
Kansans
for Truth in Politics applauds the courage of Mr. Peckham and the Kansas
Judicial Review for coming forward and voicing concerns about Foulston and her
connections to Tiller that the people of Wichita have long suspected, but have
been afraid to mention because of Foulston’s vindictive nature.
“We
agree with the Kansas Judicial Review,” said K-TIP Chairperson Cheryl
Sullenger.“It is time for a
change.”
Foulston’s
Vicious Negative Campaigning Fails To Deflect Attention From Her Professional
Deficiencies
District
Attorney Nola Foulston has engaged in one of the most vicious negative personal
attack campaigns in recent memory.Even
though her accusations against challenger Mark Schoenhofer have no merit, it has
not stopped Foulston from slinging the mud at his personal life.
But
such attacks have not accomplished their intended goal of deflecting
attention from Foulston’s own professional deficiencies, and of those there
are many.
Part-Time DA
For
example, Foulston is rarely in the office.She spends so few hours actually on the job, that she is considered by
many to be a part time member of the D.A.’s office.Her dog breeding and jewelry business get more of her attention these
days that putting criminals behind bars. Nevertheless, she still collects her
full-time pay.That is a rip-off of
the taxpayers who deserve a day’s work for a day’s pay.
Violent crime has
risen under “No-File Nola”
Violent
crime in Wichita, including forcible rape and aggravated assault, have risen so
much that now Wichita is a more dangerous place to live than Detroit, Michigan.Our community is above the national average for both violent crimes and
property crimes, according to FBI
crime statistics.That is
because Foulston refuses to prosecute over 1,000 cases per year.
In
order to keep her maintain bragging rights to a high conviction rate, she only
prosecutes the easy cases.That means criminals go free for the benefit of Foulston’s
ego.
Smaller communities
ignored by Foulston
Especially
affected by Foulston’s unwillingness to prosecute are Sedgwick County
communities outside Wichita.The Cheney Chief of Police Howard Bishop has said that only
two out of one hundred criminal cases they take to the District Attorney’s
office are prosecuted.That abysmal
rate of prosecution only emboldens criminals and places the people of Sedgwick
County as grave risk.
While
many cases go unprosecuted, Foulston’s office is known for going soft on
violent criminals.A case in point
is the Buddy Jones
murder case.Jones was accused of
murdering Michelle Rawls, dismembering her body, and burying it in three places.
Instead of locking him up for good, Foulston’s office gave Jones a plea
bargain deal that could have him back on the streets endangering lives in only
ten years.
Another
shocking case involved a plea deal for a child
rapist who got a lesser sentence after the DA’s office made a deal with
the rapist for a lesser sentence if he agreed to allow them to voluntarily
search his computer.In other
words, a child rapist will soon be back on the streets to rape again because one
of Foulston’s prosecutors was too lazy to get a search warrant!
SRS bullying wrongly
takes kids out of homes
Families
have accused the District Attorney’s office of wrongfully
taking children out of families without cause.Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services Director Don
Jordan accused Foulston of “bullying” SRS employees into putting false
statements into court documents in order to make sure that the children are
removed from their homes.
This
is a shocking abuse of power and betrayal of the trust that families place in
the justice system.
Foulston abuses power
to shield friends from prosecution
Speaking
of abuse of power, Foulston has for years shielded friends, such as late-term
abortionist George Tiller from criminal prosecution.Foulston personally submarined 30 criminal charges filed against Tiller
in 2006 claiming that the Attorney General’s office did not consult her before
filing the charges, an
accusation later proven to be false when records surfaced of her meeting
with then Attorney General Phill Kline prior to the filing.
Even
though two judges determined there was probable cause to believe that Tiller had
committed the crimes, Foulston never let the case be considered on its merits,
allowing Tiller’s shoddy late-abortion business to continue to injure women,
as happened to Patient
S. in September of this year.
While
Foulston’s office apparently does not have the resources to prosecute drug
dealers, baby rapists, and chronic drunk drivers that endanger the public, it
does have the resources to redecorate the office in lavish fashion. Foulston
spent over $105,0000 of the taxpayers’ money doing just that.One could buy a house – or hire another prosecutor – for that much
money.This only goes to show how
out-of-touch Foulston is with the things that really matter.Protecting the public from criminals is more important than fancy
furnishings and expensive wall art.
Click
here to view photos of some of the expensive
furnishings purchased by Foulston during her redecorating binge at taxpayer’s
expense.
Bullying and
intimidation characterizes Foulston’s style
Foulston
is well known as a vindictive bully.In
2007, she
threatened with criminal charges a group of Christian leaders from a number
of national pro-life/pro-family groups who had traveled to Wichita from across
the country to attempt to meet with Foulston over their concerns that
abortionist Tiller was violating the law.
Most
attorneys who may have had aspirations to the District Attorney’s office have
not run because they fear reprisals from Foulston.“She is a vindictive person who will always get even,” said one
source that did not want to be identified.Perhaps that is why Foulston has run unopposed for the last 16 years.
Those
fears have been realized in this election, with Foulston’s vicious personal
attacks on Mark Schoenhofer.One
has to admire Schoenhofer’s bravery, in the face of such spurious personal
attacks on his family and his personal character – all of which have been
proven to be without merit.
It
is clear that Foulston’s professional record cannot stand up under scrutiny.That is why she has had to stoop to negative personal attacks against her
opponent.
Foulston’s
tyrannical conduct, which endangers the lives, welfare, and freedoms of the
people, simply cannot be allowed to continue in the District Attorney’s
office.It’s time for a change.It’s time restore justice to Sedgwick County by electing Mark
Schoenhofer as District Attorney.
Two Hot
Videos Show Why Police Call Foulston “No File Nola”
Two
hot new videos show why police call Sedgwick County District Attorney Nola
Foulston “No File Nola” and why we need boot her from the DA's office in
November.
The first video involved a
case where the DA’s office refused to file against Cheney’s biggest drug
dealer who was caught red-handed by officers.When Foulston was confronted with a tape of her office’s refusal, she
took vindictive retaliatory measures against the police in Cheney.
The second video deals
with the tragic case of a child rapist who got a lesser sentence after
the DA’s office made a deal with the rapist for a lesser sentence if he agreed
to allow them to voluntarily search his computer.In other words, a child rapist will soon be back on the streets to rape
again because one of Foulston’s prosecutors was too lazy to get a
search warrant!
If this doesn’t
outrage you, nothing will!
Fiscally
Irresponsible: Foulston’s Decorating Binges Fleece Taxpayers Of Over $105,000
A
K-TIP Exclusive
October
22, 2008
District
Attorney Nola Foulston has spent over $105,000 of taxpayer money on interior
decorating projects over the last three years.Foulston, who is known at the D.A.’s office as “The Queen,” has
purchased lavish appointments that include custom furnishings, hundreds of
dollars in Ansel Adams prints and other art, and desk chairs costing $650 and
more, and furniture that would be fit for any member of royalty.
K-TIP
recently obtained copies of hundreds of receipts listing Foulston's decorating
expenditures. We were shocked by what we discovered.
The
District Attorney’s is one financed by tax dollars.It is meant to be a functioning office where criminals are brought to
justice, not this year’s contender for the cover of the most fashionable
interior design magazine.
It’s
obvious that Foulston appreciates beautiful things, but it is quite another
thing to force taxpayers to fund extravagant decorating binges to suit her
expensive personal tastes.Spending
over $105,000 on interior decorating of a public servant’s office is a
betrayal of the public trust and shows poor judgment and a lack of restraint.
Foulston
has apparently earned her royal nickname.She
certainly reminds us of a member of French royalty, Marie Antoinette.Marie lived in the lap of luxury, totally oblivious to the plight of the
poor who were starving just outside the palace gates.When told that the people had no bread, she famously replied, “Then let
them eat cake.”
The
people of Sedgwick County deserve better than to have their hard-earned tax
dollars squandered on lavish furnishings by on out-of-touch District Attorney,
while criminals are allowed to roam the streets for lack of prosecution and
confinement. On November 4th, remember
that Sedgwick County deserves better than Nola Foulston.
Just
How Biased Is The Wichita Eagle?It’s
Editorial Becomes Campaign Ad 'Hit Piece'
When
a newspaper’s editorial board starts writing copy for a political
candidate’s “hit-piece” smear ad, it is time to toss any trust in that
paper out the window.
Such
as been the case in the Sunday, October 19, 2008, edition of the Wichita
Eagle.Directly next to the Eagle’s
voter’s guide is a half-page ad from D.A. Nola Foulston.Half of that ad is a reprint of Rhonda Holman’s editorial from the
previous week making a vicious character attack on challenger Mark Schoenhofer.
The
allegations Holman uses against Schoenhofer have all been proven to be untrue
– even in other articles that ran in the same edition of the paper.But obviously neither Foulston or the Eagle are ones to let the facts get
in the way of their leftist political agenda.
Think
about it.Foulston actually PAID
the Eagle to reprint Holman’s editorial.That further erodes the paper’s integrity, and it negates any
appearance of "fairness" that other reporters might be trying to
convey elsewhere in the paper.

sleazy, smear politics.
Tiller Attorney In the
Tank For Nola Foulston (And Vice-Versa)
Too-cozy relationship between Foulston
and Lee Thompson gives appearance of corruption and collusion
[An Exclusive K-TIP
Report]
Wichita,
KS – October 17, 2008 - The lead attorney representing late-term abortionist
George R. Tiller has endorsed Nola Foulston, the District Attorney who was
responsible for the dismissal of 30 criminal charges against Tiller filed by
former Attorney General Phill Kline.Lee
Thompson is listed in mailers
and on Foulston’s campaign
website as endorsing Foulston’s re-election bid.
“Thompson and Foulston have a cozy
relationship that spans several cases where Foulston has protected Thompson’s
client, Tiller, from prosecution,” said Operation Rescue President Troy
Newman.“The appearance of
impropriety and corruption –not to mention poor judgment – cannot be
ignored.”
Foulston has a long history of insulating
Tiller from prosecution, and misleading the public concerning cases involving
Tiller.
Less
than 24 hours after Kline filed 30 criminal charges against Tiller related
to illegal late-term abortions, Foulston
successfully dismissed the charges on shaky jurisdictional grounds even
though two independent judges ruled that there was probable cause to believe
that Tiller had committed the crimes.
According
to a member of the 2006
grand jury that investigated the botched third-trimester abortion death
of 19-year old Christin Gilbert, Foulston’s office prevented them from
obtaining important records and refused to issue an out-of-state subpoena
for Tiller employee LeRoy Carhart, a Nebraska abortionist who treated
Gilbert.These roadblocks
narrowly prevented the grand jury from issuing indictments.
A
2007
grand jury investigating Tiller was discouraged from indicting Tiller by
Foulston’s office.According
to a confidential source close to the investigation, Foulston’s office
told the grand jury that the Kansas ban on post viability abortions was
“unenforceable.” Not surprisingly, no indictments were issued.
In each of the cases mentioned, Lee Thompson
was representing Tiller.Thompson’s
endorsement raises the appearance that there is political corruption, including
possible collusion between Thompson and Foulston to prevent a Tiller
prosecution.The relationship
between Foulston and Thompson reflects extremely poor judgment.
It also casts a shadow on the current 19
criminal charges related to illegal late-term abortions that Tiller is now
facing, which are being prosecuted by the Attorney General’s office in the 18th
District Court, Foulston’s home turf.
“Will the Thompson-Foulston relationship
affect the prosecution of Tiller, as with other cases?” asked Newman.“Could Thompson’s endorsement of Foulston be a political payback for
favors his client, Tiller, has received from her office?These and may other questions about Foulston’s misuse of her office to
protect Tiller must be answered.”
It is clear that Foulston should be
disqualified from overseeing any and all current and future cases against Tiller
because of her bias and her relationship with Tiller’s chief defender Lee
Thompson.The Foulston-Thompson-Tiller
trifecta is reflective of corruption cannot be tolerated in the District
Attorney’s office.Because of the
appearance of her participation in corruption and collusion in matters involving
Thompson and Tiller, and her willingness to use her political power to insulate
suspected criminals from prosecution, she is unqualified to continue on as
District Attorney.
Foulston's
Office Helped Kill Two Innocent People By Going Soft On Dangerous Criminal
October
17, 2008
Recent
headlines report that convicted criminal and drunk driver Gary Hammitt killed
Claudia Mijares, 37, and her four-year old daughter, Gisele, as they were
walking to the little girl's pre-school. This tragedy has been made even
worse since learning how avoidable these deaths were.
Hammitt's
shocking criminal history reveals that District Attorney
Nola Foulston squandeered one opportunity after another to get this guy off the
streets and make sure he never got behind the wheel of a car again. This
is yet another reason to dump Foulston and elect Mark
Schoenhoffer to the DA's office. -K-TIP

For
Justice's Sake, DA Nola Foulston Has Got To Go
October 1, 2008
Dear Friends,
Most
of you are aware that here in Wichita, Kansas, District Attorney Nola
Foulston has repeatedly covered up for late-term abortionist George
Tiller and aggressively prosecuted pro-lifers
for simply standing for Life. From what we have seen and experienced, Foulston's
time in office has been characterized by corruption.
But what you may not know is that since she was first elected to the office of
Sedgwick County District Attorney in 1988, she has never been
opposed for re-election - until now!
We have the rare opportunity to vote Nola Foulston out of office
and replace her with a man of honesty and integrity.
Foulston's opponent is Mark Schoenhofer, a committed Catholic
who is very pro-life.
But please don't think that Mark is a one-note politician. He is an attorney who
is dedicated to finding truth and administering justice
- someone who believes that the laws should be equitably enforced and that no
one is above them. He wants to protect us by putting the bad guys behind
bars. We appreciate that about Mark.
Nola Foulston, on the other hand, has repeatedly shown favoritism on the
job, and even has used her office to persecute Christians!
Here are just some of the ways Nola Foulston has rescued Tiller:
In
December, 2006, then Attorney General Phill Kline filed 30 criminal
charges against George Tiller for illegal late-term abortions. Less
than 24 hours later, Foulston persuaded a judge (someone she had a
long history of supporting with campaign contributions) to dismiss
the charges without having even looked at them.
Foulston lied
to the media when she told them she had no prior notice of
the Kline charges, then changed her story after
Kline produced an e-mail from her acknowledging that they had met and
discussed the charges before they were filed.
In an
effort to confuse the public and deflect attention from the true criminal
charges that had been filed against Tiller, Foulston issued results of her
own "investigation" into the evidence filed by Kline. That
so-called investigation "cleared" Tiller of having not reported
incidents of child sexual abuse, even though that was not
alleged in the Kline charges.
Foulston's
office persuaded two citizen-called grand juries not to indict
Tiller, first in the death of 19-year old Christin
Gilbert, then in an investigation into illegal late-term
abortions - even though the evidence was enough to cause the grand
juries to be concerned that laws were being broken.
Foulston refused
to prosecute a clear-cut case of vehicular assault in which
Tiller rammed into pro-lifer Mark Gietzen with his Jeep Grand
Cherokee. (An incident for which the police had photographic
evidence.)
But
protecting Tiller has not been enough for Foulston.
She has worked to aggressively prosecute and intimidate
pro-lifers.
Foulston pulled her best prosecutor off a murder-rape case
to prosecute pro-lifer Karen Myers who was arrested for
protesting at a Cher concert. In fact, Myers was so brutally handled
by the deputies who arrested her that an ambulance had to be called,
which transported her to the hospital from the scene of the arrest. Myers
was tried for failure to obey a police officer and was found
innocent on the trumped up charge. Myers was later awarded
a monetary settlement from the county for her false arrest
and injuries.
Foulston sent a letter threatening a group of Christians with criminal
charges for asking her to reconsider her decision to oppose Kline's
charges against Tiller.
Foulston has refused to meet with national pro-life leaders about their
concerns that Tiller is conducting an illegal and dangerous
late-term abortion racket, crimes he was later charged with
by Kline's successor.
Just this past weekend, we became aware of another botched
abortion incident at Tiller's that nearly cost the life
of the patient. The injured woman is still very sick and needs our prayers.
But as long as Foulston is the District Attorney, you
can be sure that there will be no criminal investigation into
allegations that the abortion was done past the legal limit.
It is obvious that if there is ever to be
justice in Wichita, Kansas,
Nola Foulston has to GO!
Many attorneys in this county are afraid to cross Foulston. They fear
that she could ruin their law practice or sabotage
one of their cases. That is part of the reason she has run unopposed for so
long.
But
Mark Schoenhofer has had the courage to oppose
Foulston and her corrupt sphere of influence. He wants
to restore the integrity of the office and the public faith that
they will be treated fairly and without partiality
when they enter a Sedgwick county courtroom.
That courage has already been tested. The local newspaper, the Wichita
Eagle, has already published a vicious hit-piece
on his personal life. And frankly, because the media is controlled by cronies
of Foulston and Tiller, he has had difficulty getting his message of reform
the voters.
That is why we are asking for your help.
Mark needs to buy a large number of television commercials and radio spots if
he is to counter the free publicity that Foulston receives from her political
allies in the mainstream media.
Anycontribution
you can make to Mark Schoenhofer's campaign could be the
critical dollar needed to make a difference in this election. (Click
here to contribute.)
We must help Mark win this election and kick
Foulston and her corrupt network of cronyism out
of the DA's office. You do not have to live in Kansas to contribute.
Remember, women come from every state in the Union - from YOUR
state - to abort their babies at Tiller's abortion mill in Wichita. One of our
best hopes of protecting these babies, is to clean
house in the DA's office.

attempted eleventh-hour smear campaign against Sedgwick County District Attorney

Violent
crime in Wichita, including forcible rape and aggravated assault, have risen so
much that now Wichita is a more dangerous place to live than Detroit, Michigan.
Speaking
of abuse of power, Foulston has for years shielded friends, such as late-term
abortionist George Tiller from criminal prosecution.
Foulston
is well known as a vindictive bully.
Two
hot new videos show why police call Sedgwick County District Attorney Nola
Foulston “No File Nola” and why we need boot her from the DA's office in
November.
