THE 2018 MIDTERM ELECTIONS: WHAT IS AT STAKE?


Donald Trump Politician Government Wallpap

So, in the end, we must ask the following Question: What kind of Individuals and Groups have supported 
DONALD TRUMP NOW, AND IN THE PAST?

As we have seen, Donald Trump has no trouble speaking his mind, especially if it means disparaging an entire segment of society, be it GENDER, ETHNICITY, RELIGIOUS FAITH, SOCIAL AND/OR ECONOMIC STANDING etc. The Ability to use his notoriety to Hurl False and Baseless Accusations against Millions of Americans, along with Dire Threats if things don't go his way, would seem to be the ANTITHESIS OF HOW SOMEONE SHOULD GO ABOUT RUNNING A COUNTRY AS DIVERSE AS THE U.S.

Yet, there are those who follow his Vitriolic Ramblings, and never question the Truth or Accuracy of the Statements or Assertions he makes. Could it be the Type of Individual who sees the Writing on the Wall, with a set of beliefs and attitudes that no longer wields the Political Influence they once did?


Beliefs and Attitudes such as;

-  Religious Intolerance.

-  Patriarchal Rule.

-  Racial and Ethnic Divisions
   enforced by law.


- Homophobic Delusions.

- Economic and Social Privilege.

Among others...

In other words, the last desperate attempt to prevent Progressive Ideals from becoming the Norm in every facet of American Life. Concepts such as Justice. Equality, Freedoms, and Rights becoming Universally applied to all, not just those who consider themselves Superior by some Convoluted and Irrational View of how Society should be formed and governed.


Donald Trump is the Poster Boy for the Self-Centered and Narcissistic. Can we expect any less from his must devoted supporters?

We're ready to flip this state. Jennifer Boysko, Chair of Run Everywhere.

David,
Did you see the news? Though he is a Republican, former Virginia Sen. John Warner is supporting several Democrats for Congress. These include Abigail Spanberger in Virginia’s 7th District, Leslie Cockburn in the “leaning Republican” 5th District, and Sen. Tim Kaine.

We need to vote all Democrats into office, like Jennifer Wexton in the 10th District, whose opponent Barbara Comstock has consistently voted with Trump.

Warner notes that, “It goes beyond politics now… you’ve got to put the nation’s interests and the state’s interests ahead of politics.”

He’s correct. These elections are too important to both not vote or vote Republican. Republicans are simply supporting Trump’s divisive, destructive, and dangerous policies. We have to make sure they don't get elected. The only way to do that is to GOTV.

Please make sure you are ready to vote in THREE DAYS. Bring your ID to the appropriate location before 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 6th. Here’s where you can check your polling location.

We can make a difference together.
Let’s get out and vote!

We're ready to flip this state.

One Commonwealth PAC
Four days to go, David.
Election Day is right around the corner, and there's no doubt in my mind that this will be the most consequential midterm election in our lifetimes. Enthusiasm among grassroots Dems is encouraging. At a canvass kickoff with Abigail Spanberger, whose narrow race in VA-7 could decide control of the House, the urgency for Democratic leadership in Washington was unmistakable. 
In races like Abigail's, voter turnout will be the difference between winning and losing. That's why I also visited the Greenspring Retirement Community Democratic Club and groups like it around the Commonwealth to talk about the importance of getting out every last vote.
Now, I want to make sure you have a plan to cast your ballot. Make sure to put voting on your calendar for Tuesday, Nov. 6, and click here to find your polling place.
This election will determine our country's future for the next two years and beyond, so be sure to make your voice heard.

Thanks for everything you do.

Mark
