"Why are wealthy left-wing donors across the country, the abortion industry,
and national gun control groups more interested in your local school board
and city council races than most of the people who live in your own town?
Because they're funding efforts to ensure their far-left agenda pervades our
entire society-from getting their abortion curricula into our schools to
changing our election laws-and they want to make sure that no city, no town
is left to stand against them.
National left-wing organizations are collecting and funneling hundreds of
millions of dollars to flip local city councils, school boards, and county
prosecutors' offices to the left. They are flooding small elections with big
money, and it's giving them unprecedented influence over our local affairs
and greater access to our children.
We're witnessing the election of leftist local prosecutors who are refusing
to prosecute whole classes of crimes. Rather than working with their state
legislatures or city councils to reform the criminal justice system the
right way, they are choosing to ignore the laws they took oaths to uphold
and are single-handedly nullifying laws they don't like."--- Kay C. James

They're Coming for You
by admin
The Democrats are coming for you and your life, liberty and pursuit of
happiness is of no concern to them.
And just who are these Democrats? They're not the Democrats of the past.
They have become the party that thinks Comrade Bernie Sanders has the right
idea. Comrade Sanders is a life-long hardline communist and he wants to be
your president. And if he doesn't make it this time someone just like him
with the same ideas but without the crazy stare might.
Make no mistake about it. You can no longer stay on the sidelines. You and
your way of life are under attack. You cannot sit this one out. They are
counting on you not noticing. They're not just after the presidency, they're
after your schools, they're after your county council, your District
Attorney, State and federal Representatives. Take notice. Stand up and be
counted. Get in touch with your County Republican Party, call your precinct
leader. Talk to your neighbors. It's time to act before you can't.

The Far Left's Strategy to Control Your Community
From The Daily Signal: By Kay C. James / @KayColesJames / February 26, 2020

Why are wealthy left-wing donors across the country, the abortion industry,
and national gun control groups more interested in your local school board
and city council races than most of the people who live in your own town?
Because they're funding efforts to ensure their far-left agenda pervades our
entire society-from getting their abortion curricula into our schools to
changing our election laws-and they want to make sure that no city, no town
is left to stand against them.
National left-wing organizations are collecting and funneling hundreds of
millions of dollars to flip local city councils, school boards, and county
prosecutors' offices to the left. They are flooding small elections with big
money, and it's giving them unprecedented influence over our local affairs
and greater access to our children.
We're witnessing the election of leftist local prosecutors who are refusing
to prosecute whole classes of crimes. Rather than working with their state
legislatures or city councils to reform the criminal justice system the
right way, they are choosing to ignore the laws they took oaths to uphold
and are single-handedly nullifying laws they don't like.
Prosecutors who promise leniency have won races across the country,
including in Philadelphia and Chicago, cities with two of the highest crime
rates in the nation. Their campaigns have been supported by wealthy
out-of-state billionaires, one of whom spent millions just last November
backing candidates in several Virginia counties.
It's not only prosecutors' offices, though. In one example, community
organizers from national organizations descended on one county in Tennessee
to take over the school board and county commission. They ran left-wing
candidates for the school board and gained control of the school curriculum.
Newsweek reported on one teacher training session that included a talk on
"white privilege" that asserted: "Even when minorities express or practice
prejudice against whites, they are not racists."
National abortion groups have donated millions to elect state and local
candidates who vow to weaken abortion laws and give the abortion industry
access to our schools. Those groups use their influence to get officials to
adopt their sex education curriculum in local schools. One group even
created high school "clubs" where it trains students in abortion activism.
Another part of the takeover agenda is gun control. In last fall's Virginia
elections, one anti-Second Amendment group spent $2.5 million to elect gun
control advocates to the Virginia General Assembly. It was the largest
out-of-state spender in Virginia's elections, and its candidates have helped
push the unprecedented gun control legislation we're now seeing.
These far-left groups aren't going to stop, and they have the money and the
people on the ground to insert themselves in communities across the country.
Fighting them is going to require local citizens working together, and
national organizations such as The Heritage Foundation and others working to
expose them.
We've all heard the story when, as he was leaving the Constitutional
Convention, Benjamin Franklin was asked whether America had ended up with a
republic or a monarchy. He replied, "A republic-if you can keep it."
The same character and sacrifice that were required to found this republic
are now desperately needed to keep her. Our Founders pledged their lives,
their fortunes, and their sacred honor to the cause of a free nation. We
must do the same. Fortunately, we don't have to die for this cause, but we
do have to give our lives in the sense that we must dedicate our time and a
portion of our treasure to defending this nation-community by
community-against those who would destroy it from within.
That means calling and writing your elected officials about proposed
legislation, attending city council and school board meetings to prevent
them from adopting these agendas, and volunteering for and giving money to
candidates who will forward limited government, free market principles, and
traditional American values. Then we must multiply our voices by getting 10
of our like-minded friends registered to vote and to turn out on Election
Day.
Conservatives must do more than complain. We must be willing to stand up and
fight. We must engage in the battle, otherwise, we will cede the battlefield
and, ultimately, our country. I don't want to leave my children and my
grandchildren an America that's less free than the one I inherited.
Protecting our hard-fought American way of life is one of the greatest gifts
we can pass on to the next generation.
