NO DOGS OR WHITE PEOPLE ALLOWED
The Honorable Michelle Wu, Democrat Mayor of Boston, Mass. invited only the "People of Color" to her Christmas Party for the "Electd of Color" at City Hall. The invitation was mistakenly sent to all sitting Council Members - but quickly rescinded to the "white" Members. However if an Honorable "Electd of Color" Councilmember had a white Spouse or significant other, they were allowed to accompany them (it is 2023 after all!)
Don't worry, the Republican Party doesn't follow their lead. Unless you went to a public school you learned the Republicans opposed the Democrats and were founded to eliminate racial slavery, then allow all men to vote, then all women to vote and eliminate discrimination. You are welcome and included to Republican events - no matter what. (Yes, and sometimes you can even bring your dog!)

BE SURE TO BANK YOUR VOTE
I HATE voting by mail!
In 2020 I went from polling place to polling place thanking folks for doing the right thing.
I told them:
“That’s what we Republicans do – we come out to vote at the polling place and do it right. We present ourselves and make our choices so the whole world can see us participate in democracy!”
I was wrong! In Maryland we’re in the political minority and the majority is winning decisively using mail-in ballots. Unless we can get back to in-person voting we have to play their game. I’ve registered to have the State send me a ballot, and I plan to mail it in. I want you to do that too.
Very often we win at the polling place and lose when the mail-in ballots are counted. Let’s stop that! Yes, I agree, paper ballots, proof of ID, bi-partisan supervision. Unless we get that we need to use the system they have imposed on us to make our choices known.
Please join me in signing up for a mail in ballot. Here’s how.
