A Question (and an Answer)

A Question (and an Answer)

IS REPUBLICAN
STILL AMERICAN?

Every Ameran | have ever met is
proud to call their country the world's
greatest democracy.

| would imagine that's a sentiment
shared by almost all Americans

But ff that’s true. | simply don't
understand how anyone who believes
in democracy can tolerate what the
US Republican party has become

It doesn't seem to be anythng like a

party that supports democracy It feels

more like a tool supporting brg business
with huge tax cuts and handouts

It doesn't seem to care at all about
the everyday Americans who voted them
into office and fully expected them to be

their voke in government

No. the Republican party really has
taken on a new role mn the country It's
obsessed with obstructing everything
the Democratk government wants to
do to help the country move forward

In essence. it seems to want to throw
the country nto reverse by putting all
the power n the hands of the rch and
the corporations. and taking away a great
many of the things that most everyday
Americans think of as part of what
government should be providing

Like unemployment benefits. affordable
health care and child care. a good
education system. a fair and equitable
tax structure you know. all the stuff
that most real democracies have

In November. you have an outstanding
chance to keep your country out of the
hands of the Republicans for two more
years. by electing a clear majonty in the

house and senate

And this 1s what needs to happen for
America to be the great democracy
most of you believe it to be
