THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS NOT CONSERVATIVE!

 Today’s Republican Party is NOT Conservative! 
 
The agenda of today’s Republican Party is directly contrary to the basic underlying core principles of Conservatism – individual freedom and limited government. 
 
The primary tenet of Conservative politics is the belief that the government should have minimal involvement in the personal and business life of the citizen.  Today’s Republican Party, and its agenda, is controlled by the extreme Christian fundamentalist so-called “Evangelicals” of the repressive and racist Religious Right.  The Religious Right wants the government to dictate how citizens should live their lives.
 
Banning abortion, opposing homosexuality and banning same-sex marriage, banning contraceptives, banning books, censoring and “whitewashing” the teaching of history and science are all federal and state policies and programs of today’s Republicans.  These are NOT policies and programs of Conservative politics.
 
True conservatives have absolutely NO voice in today’s Republican Party.  No true conservative could support or vote for the candidates and agenda of today’s Republican Party.
 
 

WE MUST MAKE SURE THERE IS NEVER ANOTHER PRESIDENT LIKE TRUMP EVER AGAIN!

 

We seemed to have forgotten about a lot of issues that arose during the disastrous Trump Presidency.

Once the Democrats take control of both houses of Congress in November they need to work on the following legislation -

1) Repeal the Electoral College.  Clinton won the 2016 election by about 3 Million votes - but the outdated Electoral College put Trump, a self-absorbed demagogue who was the worst President in US history, in the White House.

2) Require all candidates for President and Vice President in the general election to make public at least the most recent 3 years of federal income tax returns in entirety (all forms, schedules and attachments).

3) Require all Presidents and Vice Presidents to divest themselves of all business and investment holdings and place proceeds in a blind trust before taking office.

4) Forbid the federal government and any federal agency from paying an entity for goods and services that is at least 50% owned, either directly or indirectly, by the President or Vice President, or a family member of the President or Vice President – spouse, parent, child, sibling, or a person similarly related to a child or sibling.  And require the President or Vice President to pay back to the federal government from personal funds any such payment discovered after it has been made.

5) Codify the ability to indict and prosecute a sitting President or Vice President for any federal or state crime.  And clearly forbid a sitting President from pardoning himself or members of his immediate family for any crimes, or pardoning any person for any crime directly linked to an abuse of office or crime for which the President has been accused.

We must NEVER allow another President like Trump to be put in office or to be able to abuse the office as Trump did, and MUST make sure all future Presidents are held fully accountable for their crimes and abuses as soon as they are discovered and identified.
