Greetings! 

​

Another week closer to the primary election and general election. Have you requested your absentee ballot if you are not able to vote in person between August 28-September 8 or on September 10? If not, go to ivote.de.gov and request your ballot TODAY. If you do not want to vote absentee, PLEASE plan to vote IN PERSON NOW through September 8 or on September 10. 

​

Regarding absentee ballots, or any mail from the Department of Elections, received at YOUR address with someone else’s name on it that does NOT live at your address - do NOT ignore it, or throw it away! One thing that you can do, but is not the BEST alternative, is to clearly mark it NOT AT THIS ADDRESS and drop it back in the mail. This will begin the “Post Cart Process” which is not a quick process but is better than doing nothing. A better alternative is to drop it at any GOP headquarters, and we will make sure that it, along with another form that gets faster results, will get into the hands of the right people. Notice to the DOE is a critical component to getting these names off the voter rolls. 

​

Shifting to an entirely different topic, for those of you that did not see Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. on stage with President Trump on Friday in Arizona, it was something special. There is a lot to be learned from seeing these two political rivals, who do not agree on everything, join forces. There is an important lesson in this alliance. We must save this country and that means there could be some unlikely alliances. RFK, Jr. has some VERY liberal views that many of us absolutely do NOT agree with, but he has now endorsed President Trump and is going to be out on the campaign trail working to get President Trump elected. His speech openly acknowledged that they do not agree on everything but that he felt he needed to make this move because of what is at stake. 

​

He posted something the very next day that I think is FANTASTIC: 

 

What “MAGA” Really Means: 

​

The phrase has troubled liberals who think it is a call for a return to an America before civil rights, gay rights, and women’s rights. But I have a more generous interpretation, one that is truer to my experience of Donald Trump as he is today. “Make America Great Again” recalls a nation brimming with vitality, with a can-do spirit, with hope and a belief in itself. It was an America that was beginning to confront its darker shadows, could acknowledge the injustice in its past and present, yet at the same time could celebrate its successes. It was a nation of broad prosperity, the world’s most vibrant middle class, and an idealistic belief (though not consistently applied) in freedom, justice, and democracy. It was a nation that led the world in innovation, productivity, and technology. And it was the healthiest country in the world. I have talked to many Trump supporters. I have talked with his inner circle. I have talked to the man himself. This is the America they want to restore.
