True Americans will turn out to vote in November, True Americans would never vote for a political party that attempted to overthrow our government. True Americans Know it's their Patriotic Duty to vote for individuals that will address the needs of the people, not those who put Party before Country. Vote Blue because the Survival of Our Democracy Depends on it.

*Why are people asking about what the committee and the DOJ are going to do*?

_The committees function was to investigate and report they’re doing that now it’s up to you_! You need to _stop voting for anyone who has an endorsement from the criminal_ because they’ve told you that they’ll commit criminal activities for him_.

The committee is doing its job and Americans need to do their‘s.

Every single fence sitter or supporter of the defeated former president, whether he’s and his minions are prosecuted or not, _must decide decide if they’ll vote for a party who desires to become a dictatorship over one who still wants our republic to continue_.
