Letter to the Editor: Republicans, Stand Up

Posted

Republicans! Do you believe in our democracy, our form of government? If so, you need to speak up. The election fraud claim is a big lie. We have honest elections. This has been proven in state after state. 

There is a crusade to subvert our election results and our democracy. This is a black and white issue. Either you believe in our system of elections, our democracy and our form of government, or you don’t. If you support democracy, you need to speak up and say that the election fraud issue is a big lie.

The fraud lie is being repeated loudly, over and over, by Republican candidates. These anti-democratic people have terrorized our honest election workers (both Republicans and Democrats), including our former Republican secretary of state. They terrorized them verbally, on Facebook and by mail, and threaten them with actual violence. These are honest people who are preserving our voting rights.    

Did the Republicans stand up for the secretary of state or the election workers? No.  Republicans voted against the bill to protect our election workers. One Washington Republican senator said this terrorism is freedom of speech. 

The state Republican Party should stand up and proclaim the election was honest, not a fraud, and that you want to support the truth, our election process and our form of government.

Recently, members of the Lewis County Republican Party stood up to chairman Brandon Svenson and asked for his resignation for his improper language and actions. That was a brave action and patriotic. 

A conservative on the Arizona election board stated that the election fraud lie and vote recount with Republicans was anti-democratic and we must choose what kind of country we want to live in. If the Republicans don’t stand up for democracy, this country is in trouble. 



Republican Congresswoman Jaime Herrera Beutler voted to impeach Donald Trump. She was a patriot. She drew a line at sabotaging the constitution.

Liz Cheney sits on the senate committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection. She is a patriot. She drew a line at sabotaging the constitution. She was penalized by the Republican Party for defending the constitution. 

Both are staunch conservatives.

Please support the truth and what is right.
