Letter to the editor: Vote out Democrats to save our 'shining city on the hill'

The Democratic Party has gone from being the middle class, workingman’s party of the moderate presidents, Jack Kennedy and Bill Clinton, to today, the Biden/Pelosi/Schumer left-wing, socialist, Democratic Party. In order to promote their “religion” of global climate control, they are trying to eliminate the American gas and oil industry and, in doing so, they have created double-digit price inflation that so far is costing American working families an average additional $550 a month for their necessary food, gas, utilities and housing expenses.

And on the southern border, in hopes of enticing future Democratic voters, President Biden’s negligence is causing the worst drug smuggling and sex trafficking ever. A record number of Americans are dying from drug overdoses of fentanyl-laced legal and illegal drugs.

Also, a failure to support police funding, and the employment of “progressive” prosecutors, are emboldening crime and shootings in our now unsafe city streets. Autocratic leaders in Russia, China and Iran, noting all these weakness, are actively challenging the freedoms of the USA and other democracies, like Ukraine.

Voting this collection of socialist bureaucrats, lifetime politicians and community organizers out of office would enable conservatives to start balancing the federal budget to lower our debt, reducing our taxes and regulations to stimulate our economy, supporting our police, judges and military, and enforcing our laws, especially on the southern border. And all this could rapidly start to save our “shining city on the hill” before it is too late.
