RIP Alex Pretti
Legal possession of a firearm is not a tacit permission for an administration to murder its constituents. Especially when that American has been DISARMED. See: bsky.app/.../radleyba...
Senators must vote against the resolution to fund DHS. See ALT for more.

Text with some words crossed out: abolish instead of reform, homicidal instead of unaccountable, murder instead of perpetrate brutality. Senators must vote against the resolution to fund DHS until ICE is abolished. How many more people exercising their Constitutional rights will be brutally killed in broad daylight by out of control government officials who have no accountability?

We, The People, deserve real representation which means:
- honoring our oaths to the US Constitution
- honoring relationships with our trusted allies
- honoring the sacrifices The Greatest Generation made in order to maintain 80-years peace & economic stability. See ALT for Pres. Eisenhower's views.
Picture of man with blue patterned tie (President Dwight D. Eisenhower). Rest of message: One of our greatest presidents of the United States, Dwight Eisenhower (who retired to Gettysburg in PA-13) recognized the need for trade with our allies post WWII. "Reciprocal trade agreements negotiated since the advent of the Trade Agreements Act have helped bring a more vigorous, dynamic growth to our American economy. Our own economic self-interest, therefore, demands a continuation of the trade agreements program. Under this program sound two-way trade can be further developed to assure to our industries widening opportunities for participation in world markets, and to provide foreign nations the opportunity to earn the dollars to pay for the goods we sell. We can either receive the benefits of the reciprocal lowering of trade barriers or suffer the inevitable alternative of increasingly high barriers against our own commerce which would weaken our economy and jeopardize American jobs." Special Message to the Congress on the Reciprocal Trade Agreements Program: The American Presidency Project https://tinyurl.com/tkbwh36e At a time when healthcare premiums and grocery prices are skyrocketing, the last thing we need is a trade war with European nations. As our US Representative in Congress, I will absolutely restrain any rogue president from slapping our allied countries with unjustified tariffs because he or she cannot buy land that is not for sale. Please vote for me in November so that we can strengthen our economy and our ties with our allies. Together, we #ChooseDemocracy !

Why am I the best candidate for mental health?
I believe in MORE funding for mental health & drug addiction services, not less & universal healthcare that consistently provides treatment independent of employment status. See ALT for more.
Together, we #ChooseDemocracy and Universal Healthcare!
Woman's Face (Beth Farnham) with Capitol Dome in the background. 'We are definitely looking at severe loss of front-line capacity,' said Andrew Kessler, head of Slingshot Solutions, a consultancy firm that works with mental health and addiction groups nationwide. '[Programs] may have to shut their doors tomorrow.’" https://tinyurl.com/3fur54k9 And the Trump administration should be accountable for the severe harm they are doing to the residents of this country. I have never supported that person who just arbitrarily cut off funding for mental health services. Meanwhile, our own US Representative, multimillionaire John Joyce, will likely twist himself into knots because he will try to justify Trump's horrible actions instead of impeaching Trump for illegally impounding congressionally-approved funds. But it doesn't have to be this way. Please vote for me, Beth Farnham, in November so that I can work on improving the lives of Everyday Americans. Together, we #ChooseDemocracy and Universal Healthcare!

Which hypocrite wants to limit US Representative terms to 3 terms while running for a fifth term? Why, US Representative, multimillionaire John Joyce, of course! With more "Rules for Thee, not me!" Joyce is cosponsoring H.R.J.12, yet still not resigning after more than 7 yrs.
ALT for more for more.
Picture of the Capitol Dome in Washington, DC. ``Section 1. No person who has served 3 terms as a Representative shall be eligible for election to the House of Representatives. For purposes of this section, the election of a person to fill a vacancy in the House of Representatives shall be included as 1 term in determining the number of terms that such person has served as a Representative if the person fills the vacancy for more than 1 year." While I support term limits, I do recognize the tactical advantage to the wealthy lobbyists if the churn rate is too high for our legislators. If undertaken, it should definitely be well thought out, and not underwritten by those who don't practice what they preach. So please vote for me in November and together we #ChooseDemocracy !

Thank you Johnstown for standing strong against ICE!
The agent who shot the suburban mom multiple times in the face instead of moving out of the way of a turning vehicle traveling at an extremely low speed induced "officer-created jeopardy" & murdered her in cold blood.
RIP Renee Good

Announcement of protest ICE OUT FOR GOOD) in Johnstown, PA. None of the training that he received supports standing in front of a car and shooting at a driver like her because that's not considered an effective way to stop a threat and it may actually escalate one. "Experts say firing at a moving car is one of the riskiest forms of lethal force, increasing the chance of stray gunfire or a loss of vehicle control that can endanger bystanders. Are officers expected to move out of the way? Yes. Justice Department policy says deadly force is allowed only when no reasonable alternative exists, including stepping out of the vehicle’s path." In fact, the only justified shooting of a driver that I can think of in recent memory was the one in France when a truck driver killed 80 people until someone stopped him. That's the kind of driving threat that may be stopped that way. American officers, both federal and local, must be trustworthy with deadly force, or we don't live freely. Some of us don't even get to live at all, especially, people of color who are disproportionately the victims of unjustified deadly force by law enforcement. Say their names - George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Tamir Rice, Eric Garner, Michael Brown, Philando Castile, and so many more. #ChooseDemocracy #BlackLivesMatter
