They gave an oath to protect and defend our constitutions. Put up or shut up.

I wish I could get my money and my vote back every time I've been burned by a fraudulent candidate that transformed his/her position once in office. I wish I had sued party entities for committing fraudulent advertising on a number of occasions for standing behind candidates that do not remotely resemble the party platform (I think there was some such suit in Virginia not long ago).

In the 2020 elections there were many outright departures from constitutional election law in a variety of states - including North Carolina. Nobody can dispute that. In making the list of all that must be fixed, honest elections has to be first in line. If we don't fix that we are done. Legislators better fight like hell for their constitutional powers rather than surrender them with little more than a pathetic whimper.

All citizens should agree on the importance of election integrity no matter their party affiliation. Those that do not value election integrity are enemies of everything good our country was built on and are on a willful mission to destroy credible representative government and our way of life. This cannot be allowed.

It's really not too much to expect that we have credible elections and credible political parties. In fact we the people have got to demand it.

Cheney's conservative primary challenger is an impressive guy. Anthony Bouchard won his state senate seat by primarying and defeating an incumbent RINO, and then beat the RINOs again to win re-election. Before running for public office, he founded Wyoming's leading gun rights organization. He will likely make mincebeat of Cheney. In her last GOP primary, Cheney ran against a political unknown who had no money and ran no campaign, only winning 75 - 25 against someone who nobody knew and did not campaign. Now she will have a real primary opponent who will be exposing her record.

Cesar Chavez was a huge opponent of illegal immigration, and urged his union members to turn in illegal aliens. This is the polar opposite of Biden regime policy. I wonder if his brain functions enough to comprehend that Cesar Chavez would have been a staunch opponent of Biden's immigration policies.
