So well said, Tom. We need to spread the word! Perhaps design large signs to have at polling places, one listing the repug's “hate and fear agenda,” and one listing the Democrat's “Freedom Agenda.” That might give voters “food for thought,” but from what I’ve seen at the polls (and I do volunteer to hand out literature and talk with voters), the vast majority of people voting maga are recalcitrant and uninterested due to the shellacking of the right wing media on their poor brains.

Several elections ago I had a large sign listing the Democrats in Congress who had served in our military. At that time there were quite a few. There were, if I recall, just one or two repugs. That has changed—a little—but your listings, Tom, are more dramatic.

Sharing them to everyone we know and finding a way to publish them ahead of the election(s) might be the most effective approach. “Pass the hat” to take up collections to post in newspapers and online. Etc.

Just a few thoughts, but perhaps ones to be pursued. The maga voters need to realize that they’ve been conned and that the repugs don’t care about them, their families, their futures. They’re being used. Period. And our country is being destroyed in the process.

For a lot of voters in the mid-term as well as in the 2024 elections a key consideration will be the Biden Administration's and the Democratic Party's 100% alignment with the national and global medical forces that used what looked like propaganda instead of medical science during the 2020-22 to control everyone's medical choices b y imposing one-size fits all and excluding all consideration for alternative treatments. Almost 45% of voters now shun mainstream medicine, and an additional 20% are deeply troubled that the Covid vaccines were misrepresented and were not really vaccines and didn't really prevent re-occurrances or further transmission after original shot and after subsequent boosters. These voters will tend to NOT trust the future to the Democratic Party, Biden and his team; perhaps unfortunately, everything considered. But the medical freedom issue will be a voting factor for many in November 2022 as well as in 2024.

The Democratic support list cited by Mr. Hartman is, unfortunately, inaccurate with respect to medical issues; Senator Murray, the senior senator from Washington, is apparently working for the pharmaceutical industry. https://anh-usa.org/supplement-sneak-attack-update/. The listed VAERS incidents over time that can be tied to use of vitamins and supplements is minuscule compared to those that can be tied to use of a large number of prescription medications. This type of legislative initiative and timing by senior Democratic legislators looks almost undemocratic.

Mr. Hartman's citation:

The Democratic Party’s agenda is equally straightforward: Civil and economic rights lay the foundation for expanded freedom. Which is why Democrats proclaim that liberty requires people have:

• *Nutritious and affordable food.

• *Decent housing and a safe place to live.

• *A living wage that can support a family.

• *Economic security in retirement and old age.

• *Healthcare that doesn’t bankrupt you.

• *Equal rights, both political and economic, regardless of gender, race, or religion.

• *Debt-free college and trade school.

• *Quality public schools for all children.

• *News and information free of bias or manipulation by algorithms.

• *Universal access to voting for all citizens of voting age.

• *Family planning healthcare including abortion access.

• *A planet that’s no longer in danger of climate chaos.

• *Opportunity to start small businesses without destruction by monopolies.

• *The freedom to live your life without fear of getting shot.
