The 2024 election is the most important vote of our lifetime. As a Nation, State and County we face the real threat of a growing trend toward larger government and Marxist/Socialist ideology.

The Democrat Party has become dangerously un-American. They’ve opened our borders to millions of unvetted immigrants resulting in unpunished crimes and squalor. These same individuals are given benefits that legal citizens pay for in taxes. Meanwhile, FEMA has no money to assist our citizens affected by Hurricane Helene.

The Justice Department prosecutes political opponents, spies on private citizens, and weaponized the IRS. Free speech has been replaced by “fact checkers.”

Democrat policies allowed our schools to become leftwing indoctrination centers and fall from the finest to among the most ineffective in the free world. They have allowed men to participate in women’s sports, openly encouraged the mutilation of children under the guise of “affirmative health care” and promote a radical position on abortion.

Democrats mandated disastrous job-killing COVID policies, kept us out of church but left the pot shops open, created laws that would eliminate gas-powered vehicles, and funded expensive EV projects that enrich their supporters.

Perhaps worst of all, they manipulated voting procedures that led to the election of a man they knew was not mentally or physically fit to lead the most powerful nation in the world. Now non-citizens are being allowed to vote in many states.

In Iowa, Democrats voted against every law that has made our state one of the most desirable places to live in the USA.

Our local government has  replaced meritocracy with “Equity, Diversity and Inclusivity.” New city departments were established to “control climate change” and “share prosperity.” Generously paid consultants have replaced common sense decisions from staff and qualified citizens.

For your future and the hopes and dreams of your children and grandchildren, don’t bypass this election.

The best option is to VOTE EARLY IN PERSON.

Request an absentee ballot – or vote in person November 5. Encourage your family, neighbors and friends to do the same.

These words from a beloved anthem are most appropriate.

God Bless America land that I love.
Stand beside her and guide her 
through the night with a light from above.
