Letter from Paul Mendelsohn

Vote Democrat, Regain Democracy

Is a leader financially invested in the outcome of their policies serving you—or themselves?

Trump’s family has received $13 billion in “investments” from foreign governments. Starting a war without congressional approval, then purchasing billions in defense contracts costs taxpayers billions daily. He’s made billions in tech stocks and cryptocurrency as he controls their regulations. Traders are offered previews of his posts for a $100,000.00/mo. fee. He allots $1,776,000,000.00 to allies and awards himself IRS immunity. Tariffs on diamonds disappear as he receives a $30,000.00 ring. A Korean probe ends after a $2M contribution. That $400 million “gifted” jet from Qatar: no strings attached?

Has your wealth increased proportionally?

Pardons are sold to convicted criminals and violent felons. The DOJ and FBI are hollowed out, investigators fired, investigations end as his opponents become prime targets. Security is compromised as accomplished diplomats, generals and scientists are replaced by unqualified supporters. Diseases return, protections for consumers and environment retreat. Healthcare, SNAP and housing cuts will take effect weeks after the election.

After firing prosecutors and 17 inspectors general, only voters are left to hold him accountable. Despite voter fraud of 0.0025% or less, Trump’s SAVE Act aims to limit voting by mail and by married women and require birth certificates or passports—all before November 3.

Are Guatemalan gardeners and trans sports a greater threat to you than this looting and retribution? GOP representatives have rolled over for every shenanigan. Electing a Democratic legislature is our last chance to regain our democracy.
