A guest commentary from a friend worth hearing: Air Force Veteran Speaks Out; Why Republicans Must Vote For Democracy

Air Force Veteran Speaks Out; Why Republicans Must Vote For Democracy

For some of you receiving this email, we may not always agree on politics, but I always respect your opinion and reasoning and your right to disagree with me and think differently about things.  Many people don’t know, but I have deep Republican roots on my Mom’s side.  My Grandmother Peggy Hurley was good friends with Barry Goldwater and served as an alternate delegate for him at the 1964 Convention.  Nana’s house was covered in GOP inspired memorabilia.  There was an elephant piggy bank, elephant coasters, elephant coffee mugs, GOP ashtrays, lighters, plaques, hand towels, coins, you name it, the house was a GOP museum. I’m sure some of you can relate… My grandmother was the kindest, smartest, most loving person you would ever meet, and she was also a proud, right wing Goldwater Republican.  So, I understand and respect traditional, Old Republican Party values like: hard work, free markets, individual responsibility, self-determination, lower taxes, less regulation, less bureaucracy, strong defense, fiscal responsibility, etc. 

If you are a Republican reading this, I’m not trying to convert you into a Democrat and I think that having a strong, principled Republican party is a necessary component of a stable democracy here in the U.S.  In other words, we (all of us) need the Old Republican Party back.  The problem is that the Fake Republican Party under Trump is trying to undermine democracy as we know it and if Trump succeeds, we won’t have any policy issues to argue about. 

So, I have made a few videos in hopes that I can help shift the paradigm back to what it used to be and persuade maybe just a few undecided voters to reject Trump and vote for Vice President Harris.  And if you are a Republican, then maybe it’s just this once because the times call for it. 

If you agree with what I’m saying about Trump and you think that someone else would benefit from seeing the videos, please feel free to forward or post them.  Also, if you are interested, the long version on my Youtube channel is more persuasive, but fairly long at 20 minutes. 

Thank you,

Pat DeConcini
