the current speaker, are they with her on deep-sixing legislation that bars congressional insider trading, or did they endorse or stay quiet on that bill? Finally, did they vocally and consis- tently take issue with the highly destructive 2020 riots, which killed citizens and destroyed properties, especially in minority communities? Did they strongly resist proposed cuts to police funding, or were they part of that movement? How about ANTIFA, lawlessness, and the advo- cacy of political violence, directly and through the promotion of racist notions like “Critical Race Theory,” so-called CRT? More broadly, have they demon- strated courage, opposing the
removal of millennia-old biological and legal definitions, patriotic prac- tices and traditions, and historic texts and statues, or have they gone along with the crowd, the left-drifting Marx- ist, socialist media and social media “narrative makers?” Ask yourself: Is this candidate for more government or less, expansion or limits? More government spend- ing, regulation, and taxing or less? For the hard-working, liberty-loving citizen, consumer, and taxpayer or for press releases about how much government is doing? Are they for well-funded police, safe streets, reduced crime, higher border secu- rity, legal but not illegal immigration, fair and non-partisan administra- tion of the law or the reverse? Are
they for parents or taking away parental rights? Are they working for you, or are you working for them? We have one chance to get this right and to pick candidates who understand that our nation is full of individuals, not iden- tity groups, and that our rights belong to individuals, not groups. If America’s individuals speak up, rights stay real. If not, we lose them. Robert B. Charles Robert B.
