Ok, Dems, my tolerance for your foolishness has evaporated.  

Your dominance of the Maine State House and political process has been productive for you, your success knows no bounds at passing the over 1,000 laws in the past session that you desired.  

But does JohnQPublic agree with your mandates, such as, giving a free home and services to our “new immigrants”?  

Our Governor Mills is proud to invite 75,000, which means at least triple that, fully supplied with housing, schooling, healthcare, etc.

This will mean cuts in services to our already inadequate social net for disabled and veterans who need help.  Who pays for all this? all of us. I guess you Dems were real proud when you thumbed your nose at the thousands of Mainers who went to testify against the abortion up till birth bill.

You passed it anyway, against the will and outcry of the people. Your push to do away with gasoline powered machinery in a state with our climate is unrealistic, unless of course, you want to starve and freeze your own people.

So, fellow citizens and voters if you are as unhappy as I am with our current representation, I implore you to vote to rebalance our Maine government. While all three branches have been controlled by one party nearly exclusively for 40 years, we have had bullying from the Dems, not governing.  

Vote Republican in November.  We have a slate of  hard working, responsible candidates who are willing to offer their best efforts in making Maine’s government responsive to the people’s will. Vote for Demi Kouzounas for US Senate, Austin Theriault for Congress Dist 2,  Robert Meyer for State Senate, for state representative: Reagan Paul, Benjamin Hymes, Stephen J Hemenway, Joseph McLaughlin, Katrina Smith, Paul Flynn, Amanda Collamore.  

If you would like to help efforts to improve our statehouse, stop by at the Waldo County Republican HQ Tuesday-Sat, entry across from Macleod’s Furniture, High St, Belfast, or contact waldocountyrep@gmail.com
