KEY ISSUES

There is nothing more important to a parent than the well-being, education, guidance, and safety of a child. The government, be it national, state, county or community is not the co-parent, but rather a provider of a taxpayer-funded environment for learning. That environment has become increasingly tainted with political and ideological overtones and undertones that many parents find inappropriate.

The responsibility for this rests with Public School Boards whose members are elected officials representing the community and parents of students. It is the duty of the School Board to know exactly what is being taught. Parents want to restore the relationship of accountability of School Boards to parents. School Boards, who are often pressured by outside interests such as superintendents, teachers unions and other political groups, have circumvented parental rights.

Thus, we must swiftly act to implement a Parent's Bill of Rights that requires transparency of learning materials, ensures schools recognize the equality and dignity of all persons, prevents schools from compelling students to engage in political activism, and prevents government from compelling students or staff to affirm prescribed speech or beliefs.

This is a man-made crisis of epoch proportions, based on the devious assumption that the new "migrants" will help to consolidate a permanent Democrat majority once they are settled. The total number of illegal immigrants invited across our border in the first 20 months of the Biden administration was close to 3.3 million. The surge includes criminals who are bringing record amounts of deadly fentanyl into the country, resulting in record deaths of American citizens.

These immigrant groups include increasing numbers of terrorists and other violent offenders. And sadly, some 200,000 unaccompanied children. 3.3 million is 1% of our entire population. Democrats, who were opposed to illegal immigration before they realized their political future was in jeopardy, decided to replenish their ranks by throwing open our southern border.

Someone enters our country illegally, and before you know it they are given the privilege of a driver's license — which opens a path to voting. This is unacceptable and un-American. All the Democrats in our state legislature voted for this measure. Another strong reason — Vote Republican!

The Biden people say yes, things are just peachy. Well, this may be true within their insulated, protective bubble. But those of us who live in the real world have a dramatically different perspective. The cost of living is sky high and heading up. Savings for many are depleted and millions of Americans are now living paycheck to paycheck.

Lockdowns, school closings, mask mandates, the purposeful falsehoods about Covid, and the Marxist-inspired schemes to indoctrinate and sexualize children have simply added more layers of misery to this malaise. Looming on the near horizon is the genuine threat of blackouts here in the northeast, and empty diesel reserves nationwide — disasters that could cripple our already limping economy and threaten our national security.

Inflation has increased nearly 550% since Joe Biden took office 19 months ago; government spending has increased by $9 trillion; and year-over-year food prices are up more than 12%, which is the largest increase in American history. 401-Ks are down more than 25%. Food, rent, gas and home heating oil prices continue to rise. Mortgage rates have tripled since April. Our pockets have been picked, our voices muzzled, and our freedom threatened. Are we better off today? No, no, no! Vote Republican!

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in collaboration with the Mexican drug cartels have developed a new way to murder young Americans. Since July 2022, "rainbow fentanyl", which takes the form of candy-colored tablets, has begun flooding over the wide-open U.S. southern border with Mexico. These deadly fentanyl pills are targeted at young people, including children.

As with most opioids that are killing hundreds of thousands of Americans every year, the precursor chemicals used to make "rainbow fentanyl" originate in Communist China. After all, "Bio-Chemical Warfare" is explicitly listed as an acceptable form of warfare in the People's Liberation Army (PLA) 1999 manual, "Unrestricted Warfare".

The new candy-colored fentanyl has been found up and down our West Coast. DEA warns that the flow of these drugs comes directly across the U.S. southern border by way of the cartels. The situation worsens daily, yet Biden's DHS Secretary continues to claim that the border is secure. All the while, the death tolls among Americans across the country continue to rise!

In recent years, critical gender theory activists have turned America's education system into a tool to reach millions of children in an effort to teach and promote gender ideology. Schools now teach students — including kindergartners — that gender is malleable and disconnected from one's sex.

Elementary school students are now taught that they can pick the pronouns and identity that they believe best represent them and that gender can be fluid and change day to day. Parents and caregivers are left completely in the dark with no idea that their children have been encouraged to change their "gender identity" by teachers, counselors and other school staff.

Anyone teaching gender fluidity to three year olds does not belong in a classroom. If schools have equity departments or have approved equity statements in the past few years, it is likely they have added gender ideology and queer theory into their curricula. No school in America is safe. Another strong reason to Vote Republican!
