Dear Editor:
I want to make sure that everyone takes advantage of seeing the "2000 Mules" documentary concerning the ballot trafficking that occurred in the 2020 elections. Those that have been decrying all evidence of voter, ballot and computer fraud, as the "big lie" will have to concede the 2020 election was not the "most secure election in our history."
Check it out if you dare: tinyurl.com/yr5a93n2/.
I am more than frustrated to learn that my state Sen. Mike Bernskoetter has voted 40 percent of the time with the Democrats on issues of great importance to me. Among those issues are voting against defunding Planned Parenthood, against the 7-1 redistricting map, against prohibiting illegal immigrants in higher education, voted to allow transgender athletes in women's sports, voted for the eligibility of public universities to get public dollars if they teach critical race theory. If I had wanted a Democrat to represent me, I guess my vote for Bernskoetter would not have been wasted after all.
It's time to make ourselves familiar with those who supposedly represent us and our views. Check out the Missouri Senate Scorecard at "the100pac.com." It was very eye-opening to see the number of Republicans that voted with the Democrats nearly 40 percent or more. No wonder we have such disagreement in our legislature. The true conservatives have to fight their own party as well as the Democrats. Does that sound familiar?
We need an overhaul of the Republican Party because they are now just the uni-party with an R behind their name rather than a D, but their politics are about the same. It's time for the good ole boys to step down and allow true conservatives who care about our state and nation and the future of our children and grandchildren to step up. The perks, kickbacks and favors must be ended and only those with a desire to serve their constituents rather than special interest groups should be put in office.
I am putting my support behind retired Lt. Col. Scott Riedel for Missouri State Senate, District 6, whose stated priorities line up with my faith and values. I pray for God to give favor to those who will honor Him and remove those who won't.
