I stand with the people of Ukraine and freedom loving peoples everywhere. The people of CA 20th deserve a representative who is unafraid of despots and will not genuflect before authoritarian wannabes.

Pardon me – Floriduh turkey, DJ Trumpkey, announces bid for 2024 presidential race this week. Supporters were overheard to chant, “STOP THE MEAL!”, ”STOP THE MEAL!”. Interviewed as to their choice, supporters expressed an overwhelming preference for white meat.
– Happy TG!
SCOTUS – forward to the past. The mother of the children for sale in this historical photo was pregnant (Vidette-Messenger, August 5th, 1948.).

We are all victims of a 2nd Amendment run slavishly amok. Choose your legislators carefully. #WearOrange

I am certain their grieving parents are comforted that they have not died in vain. Vote carefully for your legislators.

On this Memorial Day, when we remember those of us who have died for our freedoms, we must also include the brave school children of Uvale and Sandy Hook and Parkland and… who also died for our freedom to have and use assault weapons.

2nd Ammendment. What part of “A well regulated militia…” was the Texas shooter? …or for that matter, the January 6th insurrectionists?
Are there enough MH specialists to treat them? Bin Laden, himself, couldn’t have loosed such terrorism upon Americans.

21 dead. Mental health crisis? Let’s start with the apparent “need” of a minority of Americans aided by a pandering gun lobby, who feel it necessary to defend themselves against other Americans with weapons of mass killings...

Another day in the good ‘ol US, another mass shooting. I don’t want your guns. The school shooter wants your guns…the church shooter wants your guns…the mall shooter wants your guns…the gun lobby wants your guns…your feckless legislators awash in lobby money want your guns.

“I’m covered for two. How about you?” SCOTUS – The Talibaniization of America. Choose your legislators carefully.

If SCOTUS overturns Roe v Wade, as seems likely, it will mark the first time since Prohibition that a right has been taken away from Americans. We all know how that turned out.
Unscalable "justice" fence. Minority rule, majority suck it. A clear majority of Americans support reproductive rights.
...I will uphold my oath to the Constitution as a member of at least one member of a counterbalancing legislative branch when I defat McCarthy and return accountability to CA-20 in November.

GOP mouthpieces railed against activist judges for years. We now have 3 of them on SCOTUS – 3 who broke their pledge to uphold settled case law to their own GOP confirmation senators...

I will support/initiate/author codified legislation for women’s right to choose and dominion over their own bodies when I defeat McCarthy and am elected CA-20th in November.
With the right to choose on the precipice of no longer being the law of the land, it is more important than ever to choose primary candidates who can actually win their 2022 general election legislative races.
Kevin McCarthy purposely deceiving the voters of CA-CD 20 RE: Trump’s insurrection. Is there a better reason to change leadership in the 20th - for America?
Ukrainians are showing the way for those of us who’ve forgotten, reminding of us of who we are – the fragility of a precious democracy, the right to choose their leaders, the right of self determination. Today, we are all Ukrainian.
