Letter to the Editor: What Republicans Believe

Democrats have been falsely accusing Republicans of supporting violence, being against law enforcement and not supporting our Constitution, among other false accusations. Nothing could be further from the truth. This is pure projection on the Democrats’ part.

We love America and the principles this nation was founded on, which paved the way for Abraham Lincoln and the Republican Party to end the injustice of slavery. We believe the main role of government is to protect our God-given rights laid out in our Declaration of Independence and Constitution. 

We support free speech and religious liberty, even if we disagree with it – we do not try to silence disagreements or demand compliance like the Democrats do. 

We support a free press – not media that are controlled/influenced by those in government. We’d prefer it if the press were less biased and more honest in their coverage. 

We believe in due process/the Fourth Amendment. 

We are against out-of-control spending that causes inflation, and we want a robust economy with rising wages and opportunities for all. 

We strongly support law enforcement as long as they don’t abuse their position of power. 

We support legal immigration and simply want our border to be more secure again, keeping drugs and human traffickers out. 

We want every law-abiding American to be able to vote – and we also want to make sure our elections are secure and fairly administered, and our laws are followed.

We firmly believe that Democratic policies have made it harder for the average American to be free and succeed during the past several years. We believe America is imperfect but fundamentally good, because our nation was born out of a desire for freedom. 

If you believe in the things I mention above, and if you’re tired of the divisiveness and gaslighting by the Democratic Party telling you not to believe your own eyes, I ask you to join us in helping make America a better place for all Americans.

Please vote Republican on or before Nov. 8. We love America, and we want all Americans to experience freedom and have opportunities to succeed.
