I’ve tried to not comment on politics on here. I’ve always looked at FB as a place where I can see what my cousins and family are up to or keeping in touch with high school friends, but I just can’t hold it in anymore. Here’s a story…..
In 1979, I was seven years old. I remember it like yesterday. It was election night President Carter was running for reelection and our family friend Joe Garrahy was running for reelection for governor. I told my mom to wake me up when she and my dad got home from the election party. She did, the first thing I ask was did Uncle Joe win, to which my mom said yes and then I asked about President Carter, to which she said no. I was so upset that a democrat lost. My father loved politics and was a lifelong democrat. He brought my sister and I to many political events and it was in my blood I think. It was something my father gave to me, this passion for it, not so much for my sister though. I remember in elementary school, each election we would vote too and I would have to correct my teachers on who was running for what, because I always knew everyone running. I studied political science in college and eventually got my dream job working for a United States Congressman, I know how proud my dad was the I told him I got the job. I could live in DC and go to the monuments everyday for the rest of my life and never get tired of it. Watching the history of the men who guard the tomb of the unknown soldier 24 hours a day 365 days a year no matter the weather. I love seeing the history of our country and what our forefathers did on the 4 of July in 1776 and that it stills holds true today.
I’ve given you this incrediblely long back story so you know that what I say is very important to me. This has nothing to due with the left or right, republican or democrat, it’s about our future. I’ve done research and watch every news program including Fox News I’ve learned that 70 Election Conspiracists from 2020 have been put into state election positions in swing states. Trump has been campaigning everywhere that he doesn’t want your vote, it won’t matter if you vote. If you don’t understand what that means, it means the votes won’t matter because the election workers aren’t going to verify the votes and that could make it possible not to verify the whole state. These specific elections workers were only in swing states. No where else. The states are Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina and Pennsylvania. We can’t let this happen. You can’t be allowed to take an election. It is disrespectful to the thousands of men and women who died in WW2 so our freedoms wouldn’t be taken away by Hi**er. It’s disrespectful to the men and women who are serving us right now and it’s disrespectful to the fore fathers of our country. Take this how ever you want. To those who may say well, it was stolen in 2020, I’ve done the research and read the court documents and court after court have stated there was no massive fraud in any of those republican states run by republicans. If you’re still reading this, I’m impressed and thank you.
We can’t let this happen. Our country has run the same since 1776. We can’t let a man who admires and wants to be like Putin or Kim Jong Un who are dictators or a man who wants to get out of NATO. He wants to be the dictator of this country., and he’s been working on it for the last four years. I guarantee if he wins, this could be our last election.
