[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]More mind manipulation by the corporate world. More political propaganda from the corporate world. Grab a copy of yesterday’s New York Times or Washington Post to see the two page advertisement. It starts with a header that says “Government of the people, by the people” but conspicuously leaves out “for the people”, a hat-tip to the elites and the Washington swamp who seemed to be hurt by Trump “America First” policies, and emboldened by Biden administration actions.
Read carefully. Repeatedly, the verbiage to which these corporations have signed on, refers to our country as a democracy. Civics lesson required. The US is not a democracy. We are a representative republic. We have legislative representatives who vote for us. We, US citizens, elect others to represent us.
The rest of the statement is a smoke screen. None of the provisions of the Georgia law (or HB-6 in Texas) would eliminate anyone’s “right to vote” or “fair opportunity to do so”. Early voting, clarifying what constitutes “electioneering” (intimidation) at the polls and where that can take place, requiring a government issued ID (which is required for any hospital or doctor appointment, banking transactions, liquor or many prescription drug purchases, fly, get any document notarized, and much more in our daily lives), applying for absentee ballots and returning them on a timely basis, do not deny any US citizen the right to vote. These regulations ensure legal votes are cast and that election outcomes aren’t dragged out for weeks.
This list allows you to “vote with your wallet” by perusing who has signed on to this manipulative propaganda. Of note, Coca-Cola, Delta, JP Morgan and Home Depot did not sign onto this advertisement according to an article in Axios.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1618500299116{margin-top: -2em !important;}”][vc_column][vc_video link=”https://youtu.be/a4J_zklFFQ4″ align=”center” title=”The truth about the Georgia law is explained in this video.”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
