When the Founders of this country created a world-changing government, they did so with the idea that our leaders would be elected in peaceful transitions of power, as opposed to inherited, or forced through by violent coups.
Over the centuries, the United States of America extended the right to vote and personal freedoms to greater and greater groups of Americans, while simultaneously dominating as a world power in military might, business acumen, law, and wealth. Because our leaders historically took seriously their oaths to the Constitution, they did the necessary work of governance, no matter their political party affiliations, to deliver this greatness from our country, and The USA became a beacon of Democracy.
But today, our Congress, the heart of our Democracy, where legislation regulates how we operate domestically and internationally, has all but ceased to function. This lack of commitment to work is due to the intransigence of elected Republicans whose party is currently spearheaded by a convicted felon, Donald Trump. Donald Trump falsely claimed election fraud to steal an election for himself, incited a violent insurrection to remain in power, sabotaged State secrets, bankrupted his businesses, failed multiple marriages, and promotes Christian nationalism. All of his actions have been an attack on our very Democracy and that is why he will be on trial throughout 2024.
Not only did our current US Representative, John Joyce, vote against certifying the valid electoral votes of President Biden in the 2020 election, but Representative Joyce signed the Texas Amicus Brief, along with several other Republican lawmakers, in a reprehensible attempt to delete the valid electoral votes of all law-abiding Pennsylvania voters for that election, based on no evidence of fraud. If John Joyce and his cronies remain in power, they are more than likely to prevent Trump, or themselves, from experiencing the judicious consequences of their appalling effort to deny Pennsylvanians (and other Americans) our sacred right to vote.
We cannot risk the care of our precious Democracy to fall once more into the hands of those who would take it from us. Please vote for Beth Farnham for US Representative of Pennsylvania’s 13th District as I will do everything in my power to protect your right to vote and I will continue the necessary operation of our government for all of my constituents, and our fellow Americans, no matter our party affiliation, because I love my country.
