2024 Presidential Election on Nov. 5

What Is At Stake?

Our Choice is either a democracy that is increasingly equitable and healthy or an autocracy that embraces the values of the Dark Ages .

The Democratic Party is fighting for cleaner, sustainable environment, universal healthcare, economic justice, quality education for all, worker empowerment, greater safety from gun violence, compassionate and comprehensive immigration policy, freedom of health choices, and benefits for the public good.

​The Trump-captured GOP will try to implement Project 2025, a plan created by a powerful, ultra-Conservative, billionaire-led coterie.   For starters, Project 2025 actions would result in loss of our democracy, increased income inequality, a nationwide ban on abortion, further erosion of human rights including marriage equality, more mass shootings, and accelerated rate of destruction of our environment.  A detailed summary of Project 2025 can be found HERE.

A stark comparison of the records of the two most recent administrations can be seen HERE.

Democrats Deliver

A Democratic  administration will continue for the next 4+ years, and beyond, to carry out their vision of  strength, equity and opportunity and mandate to serve American people both at home and around the world by negotiating with Congress and foreign leaders and allies.  Two useful resources for understanding the scope of their  accomplishments can be seen an interactive map of 56,000 projects, and in this LIST of programs and actions Democrats have enacted, so far.

Every Single Vote Matters

 

We need to vote for Democrats for every office.  The GOP doesn't play fair, so they need to be voted out at even local and state levels to preserve integrity and democracy.  If your unsure about your voter registration status, you can check it and, if necessary re-register at www.contracostavote.gov.    

 

If you have friends or family in Republican led states, remind them to check their voter registration status.  They might have been purged. 

 

HERE are some thoughts for every voter to remember.
