A meaningful endorsement. CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE JOSH WELLE.

 

Dear David,

 

 

This month Josh and our campaign were honored to receive the endorsement of End Citizens United. They are supporting Josh because he believes that corporate money is not speech and special interests should never be allowed to drown out the voices of hard-working citizens.

 

 

End Citizens United is an organization fiercely dedicated to getting big money out of politics. They understand that we can no longer sit by and watch while corporations call the shots. Our representatives MUST be accountable to us, the people, and NOT to corporations.

 

 

Josh is committed to not taking corporate PAC money for this reason. But that means we can’t rely on mega-donors to fund our campaign...

 

 

Our democracy is being threatened and it’s time for us to stand up. Josh is the leader that Central Jersey has been waiting to do just that. For too long, the residents of New Jersey’s 4th district have suffered with an absentee Congressman in Chris Smith who hasn’t held a town hall in over 20 years. Chris Smith just isn’t concerned about the voice of the people he claims to represent.

 

 

Thank you for supporting Josh and this campaign. I can’t wait to see what we are going to accomplish together.

 

 

Kim Maier,

Campaign Manager, Josh Welle for Congress

ETHICS AND MORALITY. MORAL COWARDICE- WHEN YOU SACRIFICE YOUR PRINCIPLES, SO NOT TO OFFEND. PT 1.

While writing about Political Issues through the years, there is one recurring theme I find most disturbing;

MANY AMERICANS DEMAND THAT THEIR ELECTED OFFICIALS REVEAL AND STAND BY A SET OF MORAL PRINCIPLES THAT ARE EASILY IDENTIFIABLE AND UNCHANGING, YET ARE AFRAID TO FOLLOW THIS LINE OF REASONING IN THEIR OWN LIVES.

Many individuals are deathly afraid to reveal their personal beliefs on Religion and Morality, in fear that their family or friends will ostracize them.                                                 

This has always fascinated me.  Why would any person deceive others, just to maintain a relationship built on lies?  Yes, I understand that a Human Being is essentially a Social Animal, and the need to be accepted is a fundamental desire. However, what do you sacrifice, in the name of being part of a particular social circle?

To be clear, I am not including the individual who is trying to interact with an extremist group, or others that are clearly irrational in nature.  Sexists, Homophobes, Religious Fanatics, Xenophobes etc., are examples of Mindsets based on Fear, Hate and a general loathing of Humanity.

This article is to ask why an Intelligent and Caring person would decide to mask their beliefs, which are genuine in nature, from those that mean the most to them.

Let me ask a question, to all of my readers. Think of the people you are closest to. They may be a relative, or a friend.  By close, I mean an individual that you consider a close confidant, in that their advice would be considered a prominent part of any important decision that you make.  Would you be afraid of offending them, if they found out that there were certain moral absolutes that you were not in agreement?

Look for PT 2.

How you can help to reunite families today. HILLARY CLINTON, ONWARD TOGETHER.

David -- No child should ever be torn from their parents, and no parent should have to wonder when or if they'll see their child again. But with the reunification deadline set by a federal judge fast approaching, thousands of families who have been separated at the border by the Trump administration still need to be reunited -- and in some cases, children have been sent to states far from where their parents were detained. There is something we can do right now to help. A coalition of groups is raising money for flights, hotels, and cell phones for families traveling to reunite with their loved ones -- so far, they've raised more than $180,000 and helped more than 400 families. Those working to reunite families on the ground have shared incredible stories, from a little boy reunited with his mom just in time for his birthday to reunited families settling in together to watch Pixar's Coco on a quiet evening. Let's make more of these moments happen. Donate right now to help cover travel expenses and more to families separated at the border. Donate now Thank you, Hillary

On July 31st, the Massachusetts legislative session ends. This means we have ONE WEEK to push the MA House of Representatives to bring the Healthy Youth Act to the floor for a vote. We have the numbers on our side: 91 percent of likely voters support sex education, the majority of state representatives support the bill, and dozens of organizations have endorsed the Healthy Youth Act. With numbers like these, we need to make sure our voices are heard.

We have one week left. Call your state rep and demand they pass the Healthy Youth Act.

All day long, we’re mobilizing supporters like you to flood the Massachusetts House of Representatives with reasons why consent-focused, LGBTQ-inclusive sex ed is so important to young people across the state. Here’s how to call your representative:

Step 1: Use this form to find your state rep and be connected to their office phone.  

Step 2: You’ll be connected with either a staffer or a voicemail. Share why theHealthy Youth Act is important to you!

Step 3: Make the ask! Urge your representative to bring the Healthy Youth Act to the floor for a vote.

When you’re done, forward this email to your friends, family, and colleagues. Then, share your activism on social media. Shout your support for the Healthy Youth Act from the rooftops. We have no time to waste.

Let’s make some noise!
