In these closing days of the 2022 mid-term elections, the Red Wave must hit as a tsunami throughout the Green Mountain State. I strongly encourage you all the vote for conservative republicans next Tuesday. We need Constitutionalist managing our Federal and State governments. I’m asking you all to call ten/twelve of your family/friends/neighbors to vote Red and for Gerald Malloy and other Conservatives.

Vermont’s General Election day is in five days, and Vermont will change substantially if you all do not get out to vote. It will get a lot worse if you do not exercise your voice. If “We The People” do not get out to Vote and exercise your Constitutional governance our great little State will end up in a worst financial and social situation. It is our time, vote!

Largely, the Democrats (far) leftist agenda of Marxism and big government control with mandates are on on the ballot. We saw their work during the self imposed pandemic and shut-downs in 2020/2021.

Their assault on parental rights in the classroom with Critical Race Theory, Social Emotional Learning teachings and the indoctrination to Marxist thinking is disturbing. Many school’s forget whose children these are, let me tell them; these are our children not the governments! They students have parents.

The Democratic leadership is working to take control away from all of us, we must stop electing them. We know their agenda, and “We The People” must defeat them at the polls this election day. It is incumbent on us all, that we defeat their Marxist ideology.

We must start with voting NO on Prop 5 / Article 22 on the ballot next Tuesday. The language is to vague and too many people do not understand it. It does not mention abortion and it say “individuals right…” meaning any person at any age, female and male. This will lead to children doing anything to their body at any age without any parent(s) knowledge. Two points: The language in the Prop 5 question on the ballot; “personal autonomy” is so vague and undefined that it can mean anything that you want it to mean. and any individual means at any age, period, with NO parent knowledge! This is simply wrong, and un-family. Example… An 8 year old male could say he wants to become a female, the result, no one, and I mean no one including the young child’s parents can stop it. The part about “… justified by a compelling State interest achieved by the least restrictive means.“ What in creation does that mean? Legal scholars from across our Nation tried to explain its bad affects, but our Legislators, as usual did not listen to them.

This Article 22 amendment would enshrine this Planned Parenthood garbage in our Vermont Constitution without being truly defined and with unintended consequences that can be life altering. Abortion exist up to actual birth in Vermont, it is currently codified. This filth will grow worse like; be coming the abortion capital of America, and selling aborted baby parts, and other sick practices by this Article and these people are doing this for the almighty dollar.

There are other bills that have passed and some in the pipeline that will diminish your right as a parent and the family; like hormone blockers in children from 2^nd grade and STD testing for young students.

Vermonters, if you do not understand this Prop 5 / Article 22 language, please Vote no! We need every pro-choice supporter to Vote no on this late-term abortion, family hurting amendment! Further, I do not believe you would agree to give up your parental responsibilities as parents and guardians if you clearly understood this Proposal 5.

We need solid constitutional conservative republicans elected that will protect your financial future. We need to start by repealing the disastrous Global Warming Solutions Act (GWSA) and bills related to this Act; like the carbon tax, TCI, the Home Heating Standards bills to name a few. These laws will hurt working families, people will not be able to heat their homes, put gas in their vehicles or invest in their future. The democratic leadership is employing an unelected Board to set pricing and footprint plans. This is wrong that we all will lose control and watch small local fuel dealers close down. Further, the newly elected legislator’s must repeal the California Fuel Standards that the Democrats are force-feeding us all. There is a lot more to say, but trust me Get Out To Vote and Vote common-sense, for Conservatives!

The Democrats leadership’s craziness must stop! The only way to stop them is by voting to change Montpelier. “We The People” can stop the Marxist, by voting! We all must vote them all out and it starts and ends with you!
