Voters are being poled this November in what has become a continuous cycle of political dysfunction. While voting will conclude in 5 months, the results will likely have NO impact in leadership or policy. Considering the National Presidential Election is offering two geriatrics embedded in controversy. Regardless who wins, America’s next President will likely increase our National discourse and further divide Americans.
At the State level, ballot measures will be finalized June 27th. Likely to be on the ballot:
● Another Recall attempt of Governor Newsom
● A vote to modify Prop 47 (2014 measure aimed to reduce penalties of many crimes, and lowering prison populations)
● A ballot measure allowing Local Governments the ability to regulate property rent control
● A Vote to decide another increase to the States ascending minimum wage.
As wording on ballot measures are finalized, voters be cautious! Judges and lawyers have become convoluted in social reform for profit, and makes the distinctions about the consequences and intent of ballot measures obscure.
Inflation and crime continue increasing around the Country and are being propelled by Del Norte County policy makers locked in correlation with California’s extreme legislation. As Governor Newsom’s Administration has taken the State Budget from a surplus to a massive deficit in the past three years, Del Norte County Board of Supervisors continue to endorse the Social Service Sanctuary distinction that Newsom promotes. Shelter, nutrition, wellness, and wrap around services are not human rights, their privileges. Privileges that have been taken from citizens by Government, but not the responsibility of Government to provide. Yes, American History is riddled with events that promoted Freedom for some, while stealing Freedom from others.
The purpose and illusion of Freedom is worth the pursuit. Without the concept of Freedom we become impartial with limited opportunities and personal wellness dependent on others. With Freedom (and manageable taxes) a society realizes the importance of accomplishing tasks, promotes innovation, cultural advancement, and makes possibilities endless.
While progress is postponed for political power, do more than vote. Get involved! Contact your representatives and express your thoughts. Tell them what’s good, what’s bad, and stay persistent. Your engagement is more influential than your vote.
