Going to the convention: tried once but RINO repub lady interviewing us nixed our moving up when I said we were social conservatives a decade ago - I think things may be changing tho
Tried entering my address in Wmsn Co TX, entered “Republican” - not seeing anything. Hmmm. Maybe not cell phone compatible- or maybe no info on a Republican primary? 3/5/24
“Leaky Women Voters” as we kids in McFarland WI used to pronounce it when Mom went to meetings. No longer a liberal but valuable to see what the candidates CLAIM about themselves- prolly still a liberal org but you can always vote against the narratives, and learn the jargon which obfuscates!
This was so good ladies! Very helpful and informative and I have shared to the link on my facebook page. Kudos to you! Thanks for sharing this information.
I am shocked that the qualifications; for any government positions, don’t even seem like qualifications at all. Basically if you are alive and live somewhere for a while...you can qualify?! Shouldn’t there be some disqualifications? Such as...no training? No previous experience? Not able to pass background check? No high school education? No clean bill of health? No proof of mental stability? Or, proof of instability! Record of criminal behavior? Absolutely no compulsive liars? No con men? No one with pending indictments? No documented proof of corrupt behavior or associations?! ?!No racists...rapists?! Just residence? WHY?
