Say Goodbye to Our Freedom?
Is it just me, or does it seem like we’re living in unprecedented hard times, like there’s little hope to be found?
A little more than two years ago “Covid-19” became a household word. The Coronavirus that created a global pandemic also produced a pandemic of hopelessness. In fact, in April 2020, the word “hope” was googled at epic proportions.
Our American freedoms were assaulted like never before as we were forbidden to gather in public and forced to wear masks when we did go out in public.
Perhaps you or a loved one suffered greatly from Covid-19, and if you lost a loved one to this horrific virus, please accept my sincere condolences.
I’m at least hoping that you and your family were able to find some silver lining in the midst of the pandemic.
As we prepare to go to the polls to vote, it’s important that we consider the actions and voting records of those who were previously elected to represent us. Did their behavior and voting records reflect their constituents’ best interests or their own?
Did you know that during the global pandemic, your Congressman Hal Rogers voted to support H.R.550, a bill that would create a $400 million dollar national database to track the unvaccinated? Did you also know that the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation contributed $12,800 to Hal Rogers’ campaign?
Do your homework before it’s too late. The last thing that either of us wants is to say good-bye to our freedom.

You Gave How Much $$$ to Planned Parenthood?
Wake up, Citizens of Kentucky's 5th Congressional District! This is your moment to stand for freedom, truth, and family values.
Did you know that Congressman Hal Rogers recently gave hundreds of millions of your tax dollars to support Planned Parenthood?
For over 40 years, Hal Rogers has sold you a bill of goods that has gained him a secure seat in Congress and a rapidly growing salary.
But where has it gotten you?
Nowhere. Actually, it’s pushed you deeper and deeper into a hole of darkness and deception, a hole that prevents you from recognizing what’s happening right under your noses.
Please understand that I write this article with the most humble heart as a non-Kentucky citizen who had been sold a similar bill of goods in my home state. Having worked in public policy for almost a decade now has taught me how words can be twisted to manipulate people.
Your Congressman Hal Rogers uses words to try to convince you that he’s pro-life.
What he doesn’t want you to know is that while he says he’s pro-life, in 2018, he voted for H.R. 1625 a bill that used $500 million of your tax dollars to support many causes, including Planned Parenthood. Less than 3 months ago, he voted for H.R. 2471 which used $286 million of your money to once again support Planned Parenthood.
Who is Planned Parenthood? They’re the largest abortion provider in the country.
Momma always said, “Actions speak louder than words,” and Hal Rogers’ words definitely don’t align with his behavior.
It’s time that voters throughout our country, who are true conservatives, look beyond the words of politicians wanting their vote to see the voting records that reveal what really matters to these elected officials.

They Want Your Guns!
I used to think that politics weren’t my thing. I never ran for a political office, and I doubted I ever would.
BUT…after working in public policy for several years, I realize that what does matter…are my Constitutional rights, and if I am committed to protecting my constitutional freedoms…as best I can…for as long as I can, then I have a responsibility to vote.
The fact that Congressman Hal Rogers, who represents you, voted for Red Flag Laws by supporting H.R. 2471 and voted multiple times to expand gun control should really concern you. That is, if the 2nd Amendment matters to you.
Did you know that Congressman Rogers earned an “F” on his liberty score? His failing grade definitely sends the message that he doesn’t value freedom as much as you and I do.
I am very grateful for the men and women who have served this great country in the armed forces, making significant sacrifices to fight for my liberties. If you were among these men and women, it is with the utmost respect and gratitude that I say, “Thank you!”
The least I can do to honor you and the other heroes who have served on my behalf is to exercise my freedom to vote, ensuring that I vote for someone who will protect my constitutional freedoms. I beg you to do the same.
