Voting Rights Are Human Rights Too

The United States government is by the people for the people.

The GOP forgot that.

The right to vote, be heard is as American as 4th of July, watching football on Sunday afternoon and apple pie.

The right to vote is a human right.

Republicans want to limit that right to have a say in our government.

Republicans governors and GOP led legislatures passed new laws that would make it harder for voters to have their voices heard.

The new laws would limit the amount of time a voter can get an absentee ballot, require an ID to get an absentee ballot, make it illegal for election officals to mail out unsolicited absentee ballot applications, allow the GOP to suspend county election officials and reduce drop off boxes for absentee ballots.

It's also would make it illegal for anybody to hand out water to voters who would waiting in the hot sun to vote.

The stricter laws came after Republican losses in the 2020 presidential election.

Republicans argue this would make elections more secure,  honest.

However many see the laws oppressive to voters. 

Many Americans made their voices heard by voting absentee in 2020.

What Republicans are doing is destroying our democracy.

Voting is a right, sacred, citizens want and deserve to be heard. 

By passing these laws, Republicans are proving they don't give a damn about constituents they were elected to serve.

The laws Republicans passed are restrictive, abusive, disgusting.

We all want fair, safe, honest elections.

 We all want to see democracy thriving.

The opportunity to vote should be expanded.

One way to ensure fair, honest elections is by expanding the right to get an absentee ballot, and passing the John Lewis Voting Rights Act.

The act would make it easier for citizens to cast their ballot, not restrict it.

GOP Cuts Hurt Everyone

  This is a critical time for the United States and the worlds’ economy. As of this week, President Biden and Congress are in critical negotiations to avoid a financial crisis. The crisis has to do with raising the National debt ceiling. If  Congress fail to raise the countrys’ debt ceiling by early June, the United States could go into default and it’s bills wouldn’t be paid.  In other words, our economy would be devastated. Many seniors and those dependent on Social Security wouldn’t be able to make ends meet. Many in the military wouldn’t be paid. Many social programs would be devastated, government employees would not get paid, our government wouldn’t function. The GOP claim they’re pro-life, yet they want proposed budget cuts to social programs that help many American families. The GOP also want tougher work requirements for Medicaid, SNAP benefits.  The GOP also don’t want to cut spending for the  defense The GOP claim the cuts are needed to help the budget and help our economy g

Pass Common Sense Gun Control Now

The GOP ought to be ashamed of themselves. They are a bunch of friggin Hypocrites! The GOP claim they’re pro-life, yet they continue to block common sense gun laws that would save lives. The right of many Americans to be safe while going about  their lives is as American as the 4th of July, eating  a hot dog at the ballpark, apple pie. Whether gun violence has occurred in Sandy Hook, Oxford, Parkland, Aurora, Charlotte, Virginia Tech, Orlando, Vegas, Buffalo, innocent lives were cut short. Many families have been torn apart and devastated by someone who had shot a weapon. The most recent attack occurred 2 weeks ago in Uvalde, Texas.  19 students and 2 teachers were slain after a young man with an assault weapon opened fire in classrooms at Robb elementary school.  The shooter shot his grandmother earlier that day and was later killed by a border patrol agent. The shooter recently turned 18 and purchased two assault rifles a week ago.  Even after all the tragedies, the GOP continue to b

Make A Difference, Vote

Wanna make a difference for our country?  One of the many ways to make a difference is to vote! In 2024, Americans will go to the polls to cast their ballots. All throughout the year, states will be holding elections to select candidates for president and other offices. They will also be voting on ballot proposals too.  One of those states holding elections is my state Michigan.  We’ll be holding our presidential primary on February 27th, 2024. The polls on Election Day will be open from 7 am. - 8  pm.  If you’re still in line to vote at 8 pm, they have to let you vote, stay in line. Also remember the front and the back of the ballot too. Thanks for being the difference. For more election information:  http://www.vote411.org/ Fellow Michiganders:  https://mvic.sos.state.mi.us/
