Liberty and tyranny cannot be united. There are radical-left forces in this country that want to destroy our country from within—transform it into something it was never meant to be. (Socialist/communist Bernie Sanders is such a force.) I believe the vast majority of Americans of all stripes (republicans, independents and democrats) don’t want such a transformation, which is likely why “Moderate Joe” was nominated as the Democratic presidential candidate over Bernie Sanders. But, “Moderate Joe” has now “united” with socialist/communist Sanders, to move the DNC platform to the far left. Hopefully this vast majority of Americans will stand united to preserve America as the land of liberty. But, first they must be made aware of the facts that might be ignored by a biased media. (Such as the policies detailed in the Biden-Sanders Unity document.) So I encourage readers to do their own research, and make sure you know what it is you’re voting for. I’ll give you some food for thought based on my letter. In addition to the first sentence in my letter, which came directly from the RNC platform, here are a few of the other principles the Republican Party reaffirmed: - We affirm – as did the Declaration of independence: that all are created equal, endowed by their Creator with inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. - We believe our constitutional system – limited government, separation of powers, federalism, and the rights of the people – must be preserved uncompromised for future generations. - We believe that people are the ultimate resource –and that the people, not the government, are the best stewards of our country’s God-given natural resources. You can Google “Biden-Sanders Unity Task Force Recommendations,” for a look at Biden’s 110-page document. I challenge you to find any such sentiments on individual liberty and limited government. Rather, the policies proposed are predominantly centered on the federal government taking further control over our lives and choices. Even down to federal government control of our modes of transportation, our schools, our town character, our health care, our jobs, our income, our appliances, and even our homes. The far-left's philosophy seems to be, "I had an idea, and you will comply." For some analysis of Biden’s energy policies, you can look at the Institute for Energy Research website, e.g., “The Bitter Truth Behind The Biden-Harris Green Energy Future” and “The Biden Energy Plan Is Like California’s—But Worse.” The proposal from Kendi to which I refer can be found on Politico, titled, “Pass An Anti-Racist Constitutional Amendment”. In closing, I’ll include a couple comments from Bohdan Shandor, the president of the Ukrainian American Bar Association, from his opinion piece in The Ukrainian Weekly titled, “A vote for Biden is a vote for the extreme radical left.” Mr. Shandor says: ‘The Biden-Sanders manifesto is every bit as radical as Mr. Sanders wanted. In May, Mr. Biden vowed that he wants “not just to rebuild the economy, but to transform it.” The world has seen what a “transformed economy” looks like in Venezuela, Nicaragua, Cuba and the Soviet Union.’ And: ‘Did our grandparents and parents flee from the shackles of Socialism and Communism only to have a repeat performance in the United States? I know as certainly as there is God that this will not happen if the truth is known.’

A Fight For America’s Core Values

I am wondering if Ms. Johnson has perused the FB page of Mr. Sullivan. It is chock full of derogatory, inflammatory, and disrespectful comments. If a candidate cannot control his own political FB page, that should be concerning to constituents who would support him to be the voice of Connecticut’s 5th congressional district.

Enthusiastic Support For Sullivan

Why then run on the Working Families Party ticket and celebrate their endorsement? That Party is reportedly strongly in favor of defunding the police.
