(#5450) We are now into the 2024 election process

      I know it is just the first few days into January 2024 but the reality is that the beginning of the election year is upon us. We are not still in 2023, no, we are here in 2024 and all our energies to keep the momentum of our blue wave rising is going to be needed. We are up against a national media that refuses to call out the callous and pain suffering destruction of our democracy by the republican party. First and foremost this year we have to make sure that everyone is aware that it is the republican party that has taken our women back to an age where they were treated as property instead of free human beings.
     We are talking about our mothers, sisters, wives and women friends who are now not in control of their bodies as defined by too many republican men. The anger at this development from last year must not subside with time. We must rally our electorate to the underlying cause of this republican attack on the free will of our women. This is just the opening salvo as well by republicans against rights that also affect our men. Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid are also on the chopping block of wishes for the republican party. Along with those protective programs and there are many others that affect the health and general welfare of our children.
     Most importantly this election year are the threats made by republicans to dismantle many of our safeguards that are in place to protect our democracy. So not only are our wise national programs designed to keep our nation civilized, safe and healthy being undermined but the whole system of government we Americans have had since our birth as a nation are under attack. The right to vote for every citizen 18 years and older is now being made less free to do so by republicans. Why you may ask? Because oppressive republican policies are not what an enlightened society yearns for. So making it harder to vote for those who are not in their camp is a crucial component to their evening the odds for themselves. We must not elect them to office as they are not defenders of our sacred democracy, rather republicans would take our democracy away from us!
