Friends,
I know the debate shook up a lot of folks, and the ongoing discussion about President Biden isn’t helping. However, let’s all take a breath and remember the President’s accomplishments.
The U.S. economy recovered faster and stronger than any other Western country. Biden’s infrastructure plan has built bridges, tunnels, housing and has provided internet to low-income families. He has created 15.5 million American jobs; inflation is decreasing, and wages are increasing.
Biden pulled us through Covid, forgave $153 billion in student loans, passed the first significant gun safety policy in decades, and lowered prescription drug prices
The stakes are high. The next president will probably fill three seats on the Supreme Court. Those seats can either seal the conservative majority for years to come or flip the Court back to sanity. Abortion and contraception rights will either be enshrined as law or eliminated altogether. And, middle class families will receive tax credits or the very wealthy will each receive a $3.5 million tax cut.
Biden remains competent to run this country. OK, so he dropped the ball for one night, but he picked it up and ran with it the very next day.
We CANNOT stop fighting! We WILL NOT give in to despair and anxiety. Now is the time to buck up, roll up our sleeves, lace up our shoes, and dig our heels in.
Come on, Democrats! LET’S ROLL!
