On Thursday, an op-ed penned by AMAC CEO Rebecca Weber ran in The Washington Examiner. Weber highlighted Democrat’s machinations to delay Medicare premium rate hikes, caused by the Inflation Reduction Act, until after the election.
Weber states, “In essence, Democrats are using temporary, and possibly illegal, accounting tricks to hold back the flood of premium rate hikes until after November’s election. It’s a blatant attempt by the Biden-Harris administration to use taxpayer dollars to win support from seniors, which is exactly why Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) has urged the Department of Justice to investigate the scheme as a Hatch Act violation.”

Why You Should Vote EARLY
– You’ll experience shorter lines and better poll worker performance
– It allows election officials to correct registration errors and fix voting system glitches earlier.
– Early voting provides flexibility to voters who can’t take time off during the week to vote.
– You also avoid potentially bad weather on election day and some polling has shown that early voting enjoys popular support.
But here is perhaps the greatest reason to vote early…
Democrats have a history of turning out their vote early and banking sizable vote tallies for their candidates.
You may rest assured that Democrats will be out in full force early in the General Election, which makes it imperative that we take advantage of early voting days in our states and bank as many votes for our candidates as possible.

The Constitution: The Limited Powers of Congress
In the 5-minute video The Constitution: The Limited Powers of Congress, John Yoo, Professor of Law at the University of California, explains that the framers of the U.S. Constitution wanted to give less power to the government and more power to the people. “This was a radical new idea, and it started with the Legislative Branch: the House of Representatives and the Senate.” PragerU is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that promotes American values in short educational videos for people of all ages.
Term of the Week: Taxation without representation is tyranny
A slogan of the REVOLUTIONARY WAR and the years before. The colonists were not allowed to choose representatives to PARLIAMENT in LONDON, which passed the laws under which they were taxed. To be taxed only with the with the consent of one’s representatives in Parliament was a particularly cherished right of the people under English law, a right dating back to MAGNA CARTA in the thirteenth century. Each additional tax caused fresh resentment among the colonists. Taxation without representation is one of the principle offenses of BRITAIN listed in the DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE.

Quote of the Week
“Even in conditions of relative normality, the exercise of the vote is your moral duty, through which you cooperate in the first person in choosing the person who will lead the Nation for the next four years. But in this coming electoral round – just as in 2020 and indeed much more so – you are not simply called to choose between two candidates who happen to be on different political sides but who both nevertheless have the common good at heart in compliance with the Constitution and the Law. No; in this election you must choose between two radically opposed ways of conceiving the government of your Nation: you are called to choose between democracy and dictatorship, between freedom and slavery.”
― Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, October 22, 2024
