This is an outreach to all Republicans and Independents in the Huntley area. Republicans, Independents and Democrats are coming together to vote for their values and their right to freedom, as many of their family and friends have done in the past. My father was a proud German immigrant, a Republican who fought against fascism in World War II, so I know what it means to put our country and its constitution above one’s self. These Republicans have said it best.
“I know Kamala Harris shares my allegiance to the rule of law, the Constitution and democracy, and she is dedicated to upholding all three in service to our country,” and “Whatever policies we disagree on pale in comparison with those fundamental matters of principle, of decency and of fidelity to this nation,” Kinzinger said. Duncan said, “Let me be clear to my Republican friends at home watching: If you vote for Kamala Harris in 2024, you’re not a Democrat. You’re a patriot.”

It’s the economy, stupid This year the most important consideration for the presidential election may be democracy or the nightmare of Project 2025. However, for many the economy still takes priority.
So which presidential candidate is best for our economy? The answer reflects Reality v Trump’s Lies. Trump has said our economy is failing, and those listening to FOX news believe it– despite major indicators of a stable, healthy economy indicating otherwise.
The stock market – It’s booming.
National debt? In 2016 Trump blew up the debt by passing a giant tax cut for corporations and the wealthy. And Project 25 clearly promises he will do more of the same.
Taxes? Trump cuts taxes for corporations and the wealthy. The Harris-Walz plan proposes a different approach, having corporations and billionaires pay their fair share with tax relief for more than 100 million Americans.
Inflation? The inflation rate in the US has been steadily dropping for a year. Still, no one denies high prices for food and consumer goods. Harris is smart enough to recognize that corporations are using the excuse of inflation to raise prices by merging and eliminating competition.
For example, meat cost 15 percent more than last year because now only four major meat processing companies exist in America. It’s the same with consumer products. Harris has announced plans to go after bad corporate actors, including a federal ban on price gouging and more aggressive antitrust enforcement.
If indeed voters vote primarily based on the economy, the choice seems clear.
