Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet.

They make sure we have clean water.

They protect us from financial fraud.

They provide healthcare to our communities.

They make our government actually work for people.

Do not forget this.

For "promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela"
I praise that-
*But María Corina Machado is a staunch supporter of Israel & is in open alignment with Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party and supports military intervention. She'll sellout to the US the oil and natural resources - so mmmm
