DID YOU VOTE YET?

If not, why not? We’re at a crucial point, look at the streets of France. Burning, violence, protests, the socialist state run rampant. Surely you’ve seen the TV images, schools and churches on fire, attacking the police, all spurred by far left advocates and immigrants who refuse to assimilate. Will that come here? You know it will.
The so-called Democrat Socialists are rising, their platform calls for abolishing police, prisons, the Presidency, the Senate and the Supreme Court. Mediocre medicare for all, men in women’s sports, boys in girls' bathrooms, tax, tax and more tax. Antisemitism, public surveillance (flock cameras everywhere), free grocery stores, free buses, free subway, double the minimum wage and free housing. What could go wrong?
Think it won’t happen in MoCo? Think again. We’re the epicenter of the Democrat Socialist movement. Vote like your future depends on it…it does.
Vote for the moderates, whether Republican or Democrat. And vote now.
- If you’ve gotten your mail-in ballot, send it back…preferably in the government drop box.
- Vote early at one of the many early voting sites placed all over the county.
- Finally, vote on election day at your local precinct. We need you. It has to be too big to rig. You don’t need an ID or citizenship papers. You can even register that day (Democrat rules). I know…crazy.
Vote for our moderate and conservative Republicans, vote against the Maryland Constitutional Amendments 1, 2 and 3. Don’t let Annapolis rob Maryland of its last Republican congressperson. Then on the evening of Nov 3, say a little prayer.
We have to hold the line, we must restore a little sanity. As Republicans, Democrats and non-affiliated voters we have to make a stand. How will we do, how will MoCo and the USA do? Send me your thoughts at [email protected]
Time's a’wastin’…help us return sanity, affordability and common sense before it’s too late. More civility, dial back the rhetoric and get a little progress going for ALL our great folks in Montgomery County. Unhappy Democrats, Republicans and Non-Affiliated are all in the same boat. Let's work together. You’ll be pleased with the results…I guarantee it.

REALTORS vs Republicans Follow-up
Â


Notice how the local GCAAR Realtors political leadership refused to endorse ANY Republicans again this year? Check out HERE how they demanded every Republican candidate disavow their party and back so called transgenderism to be considered for an endorsement. If you didn’t know this was a REALTOR issue, apparently it is. This time they even took their anti-Republican outrage on a Non-Affiliated Board of Education candidate just because the Republican Party had endorsed her, even though she’s the best person for that important position. If you know a REALTOR ask why their leadership is consistently anti-Republican?
