Letters: Wake up and resist old party line

Every campaign letter I read tells me that XYZ candidate is “dedicated to working families and solving the complicated problems of our state and country.”

People of Minnesota, ask yourself: Who was running the show when the police precinct was burned to the ground in Minneapolis. Who was running the show when small businesses owned by hard-working families were lost during those riots? Who was running the show when big-box stores remained open and small businesses owned by families were forced to shut down.

Who is running the show on the federal level as gas prices, supplies, and energy needed by these small businesses is bringing them to their knees?

Now we have a governance that is rattling the saber at the world and at a majority of its own citizens. The promise to bring us all together means nothing. We are more divided than ever. Elites are against the rest of us and the rest of us are being pushed to civil unrest by the elites.

Tulsi Gabbard said it best: “Today’s Democrat Party...stands for a government of, by, and for the powerful elite. If you can no longer stomach the direction that so-called woke Democrat Party ideologues are taking our country, I invite you to join me.”

She is leaving the party. Wake up Minnesota.
