Vote IV
So Donald Trump is going to sign executive orders today
pretending to address the economic woes the working class who cannot work due
to the Coronavirus Pandemic.
Over the past weeks he himself has not participated
in the negotiations with Congress. His Chief of Staff, Mark Meadows and the
Secretary of the Treasury, Steve Mnuchin were said to be “not on the same page.
The House of Representatives passed their bill
months ago, but the republican majority in the Senate is said to not want to do
anything at all to help the people by extending unemployment benefits,
providing another stimulus to each citizen, providing aid to local governments,
shoring up the post office and other critical services.
Republicans want to do nothing. Republican mayors,
governors, representatives and senators and the orange menace himself. They
want to do nothing.
They want to pretend like the virus will just
disappear, they want to send workers into unsafe work environments, children
into unsafe schools, they do not want to test and do contact tracing, they only
seem interested in telling the American people lies.
Today Trump reveals the bad faith in which he has
had his team “negotiating” on the relief package. He is signing an order which
he has no lawful authority to sign, spending money that only the congress can
allocate, in order to claim that he himself “came through” for the people.
It will not work. We cannot cede the power of the
purse to the executive simply because the executive and his cronies in the
Senate do not want to negotiate.
They have to strike a deal.
We cannot let this happen. It is another assault on
the constitution and the lives of the American people are hanging in the
balance.
Trump has created the impasse so he can make his
false move strictly for political purposes, he thinks it will help him, we must
ensure that it damns him, and every single one of the republican lackeys that
are complicit in this fraud.
Vote, get your absentee ballot and vote. Vote as
early as possible. Vote in overwhelming numbers. Check on your friends and
family, make sure that everyone votes.
Vote as if the Republic is at stake, freedom and
Democracy are on the line. The rule of law hangs in the balance.
Vote that little tyrant out of office.
