The 2022 election is a time for American renewal

It’s said every time, but isn't 2022 one of the most consequential elections of our time?
Concerned? Frustrated? Disgusted? American hostages and American weapons were donated to terrorists in Afghanistan. Ten percent inflation because of foolish and wasteful Federal spending. U.S. energy policy is killing American jobs and prosperity. The price of gasoline rose a dollar per gallon in Joe Biden's first year before Putin. Home heating costs doubled. And who is suffering most, lower and middle income Americans?
This year is a time for renewal.
Vote for candidates who respect our American History …. teaching our children to value and respect our country, our Constitution and each other; providing parental input into what is taught in school; acknowledging our past shortcomings; and working together to provide a bright future for all.
Give all citizens the opportunity to vote while ensuring only legal citizens can vote. Respect the sanctity of life and free enterprise. Government must only do what individual effort and private business cannot.
We need candidates who advocate for strong borders and preserving the right to keep and bear arms. Support for law enforcement professionals who deserve respect along with a strong and prepared Military.
We reject the current trend toward lawlessness, socialism, cultural discrimination against parents and children and energy policies that cripple our economy and national security.
