The choice this election for Congress could not be easier. George Santos presents a platform that cherishes true American beliefs. On the other hand, Robert Zimmerman subscribes to the far left woke agenda. Does the Third District want a representative who will march in lock step with the socialist agenda of Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi? Does the Third District need a representative who will vote with the socialist, antisemitic and anti-American Squad? We need a person who will stand up for the ideals that made the United States the greatest country the world has ever seen.
Santos stands for putting criminals in jail and supporting the police instead of Zimmerman, who is in favor of giving criminals a perpetual get out of jail card and defunding the police. He is in favor of law and order and prefers to support victims and not criminals. Santos stands for teaching American History and the importance of 1776, while Zimmerman believes in teaching Critical Race Theory and the 1619 Project. He stands for removing wokeism for our society while Zimmerman is a proponent of both it and cancel culture. Santos believes in letting parents have their say in what is taught in schools to our children while Zimmerman bows down to the “all knowing,” omnipotent,” “omniscient” teachers union.
Their differences in important issues is also drastic. Santos believes in equal opportunity while Zimmerman believes in “equity” or equality of outcome with discrimination of some segments of society and the redistribution of assets. Santos wants the Black Lives Matters and Antifa perpetrators of the 574 riots of 2020 held accountable for the billions of dollars of destruction and the hundreds of lives lost
Their differences in national policy Issues are quite large. Santos believes in secure borders while Zimmerman is in favor of open borders with over 2,000,000 individuals crossing this year so far. Crime is out of control all across the country and drug overdoses are at an all time high with over 100,000 deaths so far in 2022. Santos is for energy independence while Zimmerman is all in on the “green new deal”. He believes that windmills and solar are the way to go even if the technology is not there yet. Instead of drilling in the United States let’s import oil from Iran, Russia and Venezuela. Gas prices at the pump today are over 70% higher than under President Trump. Home electric, gas and oil are also up dramatically.
Santos is for fiscal responsibility while Zimmerman like President Biden wants to keep adding on more and more debt. The result is the highest inflation in over 40 years and a current recession. Bidenflation today is over 8% which is almost six times that under Trump. The middle class is suffering more every day under this incompetent administration. Interest rates have jumped to their highest levels in 15 years, with mortgage rates double what they were under President Trump. A whole generation of home buyers is seeing their dream being taken away. The stock market indices have now gone into bear market territory.
If you want to stop the radical far left socialist agenda of the Biden-Harris administration and the corrupt team of Schumer-Pelosi running Congress, then it is incumbent to vote for Santos.
