Vote for patriots to keep our democratic Republic

By Carol Lenz

It’s up to us. Our democratic Republic depends on informed and active citizens. If we want to keep it, as Benjamin Franklin warned, we must elect patriots, especially for president.

Patriots honor their oath to the Constitution. They respect the Rule of Law, defend our freedoms, and prioritize service to country. They are knowledgeable, experienced, and surround themselves with competent public servants. Patriots lead with integrity, are respected by others and respectful of others.

On the other hand, hoping the economy crashes, sabotaging efforts to protect our national security, threatening to suspend the Constitution, and attempting to overturn elections are not patriotic actions. Praising dictators and encouraging the invasion of our allies are more aptly described as treasonous. Prioritizing personal power and retribution are not the actions of a public servant. Those who support these anti-democracy positions are the enemy within that our Founders feared.

Joe Biden’s values are American values. He honors his oath to the Constitution and defends the Rule of Law. His vision is one of unity and hope. He protects our freedoms, believes in liberty and justice for all, and strives to make us a more perfect union. He is a competent public servant with a record of many accomplishments. President Biden is a patriot.

Patriots vote for patriots, up and down the ballot. A vote for Joe Biden is a vote to keep our Republic.
