I had been an independent all my life, but enough is enough. Most Republicans I know oppose the agenda their party, led by the former president, advances. It strips more than half the population’s freedom over its own well-being and self-determination. It seeks to choke off citizens’ right to vote. It embraces dictators. It blew up the financial stability of the nation through inflationary tax cuts and defense spending. It aids and abets domestic terrorist groups. No more. Democrats are the last line of defense for democracy. Sen. Hassan gives no quarter to insurrectionists and has fought for families’ personal rights and freedom. Reps. Kuster and Pappas stood up for democracy and against a party that continues to give one man absolute power.
In Concord, Gov. Sununu, “Libertarians are not Republicans,” has handed a free stater leadership of the Legislature. Anti-tax, anti-freedom, anti-local control, anti-law enforcement, anti-fiscal responsibility, anti-Libertarian, pro-insurrection, NH Republican officials don’t know who they are. If you, like me, are sickened by witnessing torch-bearing white supremacists killing a young woman in Charlottesville, Trump-led terrorists attacking police defending our Capitol, you know what you must do: vote Democrat. Hold your nose if you must, but defy the media, upset the polls, support your teachers and police, and bring on a blue wave to preserve and heal this nation of hard-working immigrants, of peaceful and law-abiding freedom fighters.
