@LeaderJohnThune this is the way it’s done. Pass the save America Act!

[Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh]

🚨 WOW! Democrats are furious as a law will soon take effect in Florida REQUIRING that EVERY driver's license issued will need to display whether the person is a NON-CITIZEN as part of the state's SAVE America Act

Florida did it right again ☀️

The law also ENSURES only citizens vote.

Do it nationwide 🇺🇸

[MattLeedsSCC @MattLeedsSCC]

This afternoon the the Republican Party of Virginia State Central Committee voted 55 yes to 17 no to oppose the 3 Constitutional Amendments on the November ballot.

[MattLeedsSCC @MattLeedsSCC]

My Generation Is Blind to the Prosperity Around Us!
I'm sitting in a small coffee shop near Nokomis (Florida) trying to think of what to write about. I scroll through my newsfeed on my phone looking at the latest headlines of presidential candidates calling for policies to "fix" the so-called injustices of capitalism. I put my phone down and continue to look around.

I see people talking freely, working on their MacBook's, ordering food they get in an instant, seeing cars go by outside, and it dawned on me. We live in the most privileged time in the most prosperous nation and we've become completely blind to it.

Vehicles, food, technology, freedom to associate with whom we choose.These things are so ingrained in our American way of life we don't give them a second thought.

We are so well off here in the United States that our poverty line begins 31 times above the global average. Thirty One Times!!!

Virtually no one in the United States is considered poor by global standards. Yet, in a time where we can order a product off Amazon with one click and have it at our doorstep the next day, we are unappreciative, unsatisfied, and ungrateful. ??

Our unappreciation is evident as the popularity of socialist policies among my generation continues to grow. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently said to Newsweek talking about the millennial generation, "An entire generation, which is now becoming one of the largest electorates in America, came of age and never saw American prosperity."

Never saw American prosperity! Let that sink in.

When I first read that statement, I thought to myself, that was quite literally the most entitled and factually illiterate thing I've ever heard in my 26 years on this earth. Many young people agree with her, which is entirely misguided.

My generation is being indoctrinated by a mainstream narrative to actually believe we have never seen prosperity. I know this first hand, I went to college, let's just say I didn't have the popular opinion, but I digress.

Why then, with all of the overwhelming evidence around us, evidence that I can even see sitting at a coffee shop, do we not view this as prosperity? We have people who are dying to get into our country.

People around the world destitute and truly impoverished. Yet, we have a young generation convinced they've never seen prosperity, and as a result, we elect some politicians who are dead set on taking steps towards abolishing capitalism.

Why? The answer is this,?? my generation has only seen prosperity. We have no contrast. We didn't live in the great depression, or live through two world wars, the Korean War, The Vietnam War or we didn't see the rise and fall of socialism and communism.

We don't know what it's like to live without the internet, without cars, without smartphones. We don't have a lack of prosperity problem. We have an entitlement problem, an ungratefulness problem, and it's spreading like a plague."

Last night, Virginia's 6th District Republican Committee stood up and UNANIMOUSLY passed a motion opposing all 3 Democrat Constitutional Amendments on the November ballot.

[MattLeedsSCC @MattLeedsSCC]

The SCC Resolutions Committee plays it safe and appeals to both sides, sending back to the SCC both resolutions with a recommendation to both oppose the 3 Constitutional Amendments on the Nov ballot and create an instructional packet for local committees on how to take a position

[MattLeedsSCC @MattLeedsSCC]

We call on all Clarke County voters and every Virginian to join us in voting NO on all three amendments this November.

The grassroots conservatives of Clarke County refuse to sit on the sidelines.

[MattLeedsSCC @MattLeedsSCC]

that would enshrine extreme reproductive policies including gender transitions and embed gender ideology into the Constitution, and automatically restore voting rights to felons.

[MattLeedsSCC @MattLeedsSCC]

The Clarke County Republican Committe has once again demonstrated the courage and conviction that true conservatives expect.

In a unanimous vote on June 4th, the Clarke County Republican Committee passed a bold resolution opposing HJ-1, HJ-9, and HJ-2-Constituional amendments

Virginia is on track to lose 17,800 jobs, see rents rise, prices climb, and GDP shrink. These aren’t just statistics.... they’re the direct result of failed leadership from Governor Spanberger and democrats in Richmond. Virginians are paying the price and are tired of being lied to…!!

We will get another bite at the apple on June 13th to stiffen our spines and boldly come out against these amendments.

🚨TWELVE! Shenandoah County Commonwealth's Attorney Elizabeth Cooper & Charlotte County Commonwealth's Attorney Daniel Farnsworth Jr. will defend their residents from Virginia's new unconstitutional "assault weapons" laws:
Statements⤵️

[Nick Minock @NickMinock]

WATCH: Spotsylvania County Commonwealth’s Attorney Ryan Mehaffey is among the group of Virginia Commonwealth’s Attorneys vowing not to enforce the new assault firearm ban and public carry ban signed by Governor Abigail Spanberger.

“The assault weapons ban and the public carry ban are obviously unconstitutional,” he said.

Attorney General Jay Jones told news outlets, “Commonwealth’s Attorneys are elected to enforce our laws, which is what we expect them to do when these laws take effect on July 1.”

In response to commonwealth’s attorneys like Mehaffey, some Democrats have even said,  “You don’t get to pick and choose which law you will enforce.”

But Mehaffey fired back saying Democratic Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano seems to do just that.

7News has reported on how Descano has dropped charges on several violent illegal immigrant suspects like Abdul Jalloh, and he dropped numerous gun crime charges against illegal immigrants who then went on to commit more crimes.

“The law should be vigorously enforced against violent and dangerous people, and the laws that were not being enforced in some other jurisdictions were not being enforced, not out of constitutional concern, but just out of an ideology,” said Mehaffey.

FACT CHECK: Despite Democrats’ claims that only one “far Right extremist” Justice blocked Virginia’s frivolous appeal with no federal claims, the case was referred to the ENTIRE Supreme Court and denied unanimously.

[MattLeedsSCC @MattLeedsSCC]

Thanks to @WillieDeutsch for making the motion and @pattilyman2 her steadfast and eloquent arguments in support of the motion.
