We are in the middle of a nationwide class war. Everyday Americans are not truly as divided as we are lead to believe. We all want to see the achievement of better quality of life for citizens today and in the future, and any of our perceived differences should create compromise in our legislative procedures rather than the stalemates we witness today. #democracy #middleclass Check out this grave prediction regarding the political polarization of the United States from former Labor Secretary, Robert Reich: https://lnkd.in/ginB_HEZ

SCI vigorously joins the conservative coalition in opposition to expanding #SelectiveService registration to include women. This would be a historic and strategic policy change ignoring the biological differences between females and males that will affect America's national defense. Women who voluntarily join the #ArmedForces are admirable and patriotic and we salute with the highest regard; however, forcing all women to register does not award the equality stamp. #EqualRights does not imply equal physicality. Drafting our daughters doesn't prove their worth or status as a citizen. #Military leaders should make strategic decisions and policy based on what is the best defensive and offensive maneuvers in the combat theater not gender blinded ones. #NDAA #SenateArmedServices #Daughters #Granddaughters #Nieces #Women Maggie McKneely Concerned Women for America Independent Women's Forum Women's Congressional Policy Institute Andrea Bottner Hadley Heath ManningAmber SchwartzCarrie Sheffield Barbara Ledeen Amber Niblock Heather Reams Heather Sellers Advancing American Freedom Ann Stone Lois Stirewalt Murchison Candice BoyerOlivia Grady, Esq.

#Safety is a fundamental human need, and thus the right of self defense became enshrined in every legal system. However, European people, and especially ruling aristocracies, just got fed up with armed militias and civil wars, and personal arms were banned. The #socialcontract came to include, alongside other civil safeguards - freedom and liberty, limited political power, representation, safety nets, an independent judiciary - expectations of public safety. Fast forward, some parts of Europe, including in metropolitan cities, are no longer safe. Especially for the most vulnerable of our society. And from time to time they become lawless wastelands. They resemble little of the free, tolerant, diverse, kind, cosmopolitan Europe we envision and desire. This, of course, is a tragedy of the commons, a failure of irresponsible policy, undermining the very principles of a safe, shared, liberal society.

The GOP likes their women vicious…. Cruella and her crew don’t seem to realize that everyone is someone’s child. Even in war we should remember that our words should respect the human in humanity. #voteblue to fight war and find peace. It has to come eventually. Why not now? Before more humans on all sides are killed? Yes, I know the Democratic Party is not perfect. Think about voting as a tug of war. You cannot think of voting as getting everything you want. It should not be a marriage, in my mind. Democracy relies upon consensus of direction, not absolute alignment in policy. What do you want the rope to pull towards ? Progress? Not perfect, but trying for peace ? Or regression? Cruelty?

We are yearning for political leaders who prioritize the well-being of all Americans and advocate for unity and positive change. Robert Kennedy Jr.'s message of defending all American people and striving for a nation free from divisive politics and internal conflicts resonates with many who seek a better future for the country. The hope for a united and great nation again is a sentiment shared by many who believe in the potential for positive transformation and progress. https://lnkd.in/dKu4HxRZ
