OUR LAST FREE ELECTION?
Daniel Ortega, the FSLN National Socialist Dictator of Nicaragua has just announced that there is no longer a need to have popular elections in his country and has called off future efforts in democracy to prevent the “undesirables” from overcoming the popular will of the people. The Socialist Democrats understand this.
This is the same “President” that jailed and tortured many of our recently immigrated, naturalized and registered Republican members, some of whom were jailed for years in a effort to convince them of the efficacy of the Socialist state.
IT WON'T HAPPEN HERE
No free elections on the Socialist Republic of Cuba either.
None in Iran.
In Venezuela, before it's recent liberation by the United States, the Socialist "elected' Presidents Hugo Chavez and Nicholas Maduro ran their one party system into the ground, and if there was an inkling the election was going wrong the ballots were seized and the results always came out for them. Even one time former President Jimmy Carter was a poll watcher -yet it always seemed to go overwhelmingly for the National Socialist – leaving tens of thousands to escape to South America and the US for a better life. Some of our most vocal Republicans are former residents begging Americans to not let happen here what happened there.
Do you see vibrant democracies in GAZA, in the West Bank, in Socialist North Korea, in Red China? No. No dissent, no free press, no other parties…only the socialist alternative – it's THE BEST ALTERNATIVE they say for their people.
THEY'RE JUST PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRATS
That won’t happen here! They say. Our people won't allow it. We're just normal, progressive Democrats.
Well they're not. I know normal Democrats, I've voted for many. The National Socialist Democrat wing is frightful.
GRAHAM PLATNER IS NO BOBBY KENNEDY
The Socialist Democrats want to eliminate the Presidency, the Senate, the Supreme Court, prisons, the armed forces, the police, add more states and rig elections so they'll never lose, perhaps even pause elections until things are more equitable...but it's just TALK they say...don't take them seriously they say.
Maybe that’s true – but if you look all over South and Central America, and across the globe you’ll see that if folks still have the opportunity to change they’ll choose their free democracies and multi-party states instead of the “Dictatorship of the Proletariat.” As we watch traditional Democrats fall to the woke left National Socialist party you have to wonder - is it time for the end of democracy? Is it time for “reeducation camps” for folks who don’t tow the Peoples Party Line (apologies for the headline in our newsletter).
Here in MoCo many folks think so. Do we have more Socialist Democrats for local government than any other jurisdiction? Which side do you find yourself on? I know for myself, my friends and my family I choose democracy. Not socialism, communism, theocracy or one party rule. How about you? Is it time to cancel all further elections once "the People's Party" takes over?

The Melby Minute
Kinda like describing the 13th Amendment by saying " A vote for will make it harder to find workers..."
The government attorney responsible for writing - in plain english - the effects of a Charter Amendment to limit government spending wrote it to discourage voters to support it. Here's what I wrote to him on your behalf:
As Chairman of the Republican Party I am concerned that the Montgomery County Government is poised to present a misguided message to thousands of county voters, many of whom signed a petition to place on the ballot an initiative to put limits on the government's authority to increase spending. They've asked that if the government wishes to exceed the rate of inflation in spending it will take a unanimous decision.
Thousands have asked for that, many Republicans and many Democratic and Non Affiliated voters too.
The proposed language for the ballot does not reflect that intent. I'm sure it's not intentional - but others could see it as a blatant political attempt to confuse and mislead the electorate.
Please protect the voters and have the language reflect the intent of the petition and referendum correctly.
