Our nation is at a crucial juncture. Both the U.S. House and Senate just passed into the control of the conservatives, whose primary interest is in preserving liberty and restoring the respect our nation once enjoyed.

On the other side, we have socialists trying to out-promise each other by making completely unrealistic and unsustainable commitments.

Now, also with a vacant Supreme Court seat to fill, the stakes are even much higher. We simply cannot allow the current lame-duck president to fill this position with a left-leaning liberal judge.

It is imperative that informed voters take to the polls like never before to ensure a viable outcome, one that will ensure the survival of our republic.

The United States has never needed good patriotic citizens as much as right now to speak out and vote!
