Vote against socialism

The Trump campaign has proven one thing for sure: There is one party in America, and it’s the government party. It grows bigger and bigger and is composed of lobbyists, big media, big banks, Republican elites (Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham, John McCain and Paul Ryan) and the Democratic elites (Dick Durbin, Chuck Schumer, Hillary Clinton, Harry Reid and Barack Obama). They care for one thing only: their own power, money and influence. The American people are left out of the process.

Think before you vote and ask yourself, do you want the same old insiders running our country again, or should the taxpayers have a say in the way the country is run? The insiders don’t give a damn about you, America or the welfare of our nation. This country was founded on “We the People” not we the government. Do you want more illegals, higher taxes, open borders and the decline of our society, or do you want it to stop?

Throw aside party labels and use common sense and you’ll conclude that America is going in the wrong direction. We are not a socialist country, we are a free nation. Reject statism. You have the power to save our country. Act now; vote against socialism.
