Free Republic

The best Republican, who wants to replace Rep. Schakowsky, is Mark Su. He wants to cut spending and ensure the government will be more efficient. He wants to cut social spending and increase homeland security spending. He’s pro-life. Please ask some Illinois voters to help him by volunteering and/or donating. His site is www.marksuforcongress.com.

Congress shouldn’t have considered giving money to any state or local governments. That spending isn’t mentioned in the Constitution.

I live near Green Bay, and I’m glad that Senator Johnson doesn’t like that bill. The House should pass a budget that would cut unconstitutional spending by 2/3. That includes the Depts. of Education, HHS, and HUD and gifts to foreign countries and state and local governments. If they cut spending by 10%, the same bill should cut spending by 5% and pay off some of the federal government debt. I know that the Senate wouldn’t pass that. After the Senate rejects it, the House should offer a compromise by cutting all unconstitutional spending by 1/3.

My wife is a Lutheran pastor. No Bible verse says, “God said, “Woman may not preach about me.’” She says that being transexual contradicts some Bible verses.

Who should run for mayor, in 2027? I lived in the Chicago area for 18 years.

I live near Green Bay. I think that each state needs a law that would state that the voter registration form will ask for the address where the person was registered. Each county or city clerk should be required to contact that other jurisdiction and ask them to remove the person from their voter registration list. Within the past 5.5 years, I moved from NV to IL to WI. In Oct. 2022, I got emails and texts from Nevada and Illinois candidates, so I’m registered in three states. I could have requested absentee ballots from two states and voted in all three states, if I wanted to do that, but I didn’t do that.

Thanks for the ping. About three years ago, I read that UMC had about 12 million members. How many do you think left them, since then? I hope the majority of them left.

I’m not the famous singer.

What did Rounds do that was liberal?

Who should the next leader be? I hope they’ll choose Sen. Mike Rounds, of SD. He’s been a senator since 2015, and he was a governor for eight years. Here are some of his interest group ratings: National Right to Life Committee, 100%; Numbers USA, 100%; Americans for Prosperity, 100%; AFL-CIO-14%; ADA, 0%; and NEA, 0%.

Who should replace him? I live in his district.

I was surprised that he dropped out so soon. In Jan. 2000, I hoped Sen. Hatch would be elected president. He didn’t do well in the Iowa caucus, so he dropped out of the race. In Jan. 2016, I hoped that Gov. Gilmore would be elected president. He didn’t do well in the Iowa caucus, so he dropped out of the race. In all three years, I thought, “Only one state held a caucus or primary. We don’t know what the other 49 states think about the candidates.” I think all of those candidates should have campaigned until May, at least. Do you agree?

I didn’t consider voting for Ramaswamy, in a primary, but I was surprised that he dropped out so soon. In Jan. 2000, I hoped Sen. Hatch would be elected president. He didn’t do well in the Iowa caucus, so he dropped out of the race. In Jan. 2016, I hoped that Gov. Gilmore would be elected president.

Biden got the money because the majority of congressmen are too liberal. Each spending bill starts in the House. I agree that a republican Congress is worthless when they ignore the Constitution and spend more than Democrats.

The Constitution doesn’t say that Congress can give money to state or local governments. That spending is unconstitutional.

I’m glad that he’s leaving. He’s been in Congress since 2007. No one should be in the U.S. House more than six years. He should have said that he wouldn’t run for re-election in 2012. A lot of California voters will lose representation, in the House, while they wait for a special election.

If she quits, who should the replacement be? I think it should be a conservative who has been a state party chairman and an elected official (U.S. senator, congressman, or governor). That’s why I think Randy Forbes would be a great chairman.

My favorite series is “Sledge Hammer.” My favorite drama series is “Knight Rider.” I think that, for the majority of Americans, their favorite show was made at least partly when they were teenagers. My sister-in-law, who was born in 1962, said her favorite is “Mork & Mindy.” A former co-worker of mine, who was born in ‘62, said his favorite is “All in the Family.”

I work for John Schiess, a Rice Lake conservative who hopes to defeat Sen. Baldwin. If he wins, he’ll try to greatly cut tax rates and spending. He’s pro-life and pro-gun rights. He says that ICE should arrest and deport as many illegal aliens as possible. Please read his site, www.afact.us.
