Americans love their country. Congratulations to Democrats who worked hard to bring the country home. The victory is amazing. The odds of them taking the house was nearly impossible.
The top priority for the new House majority is to fight corruption, but, also to push back against wayward foreign policy and secure the country. This new US House victory came just in time. But, national security has to be the first item on the agenda and that has nothing to do with impoverished people from the Northern Triad. The countries need to be secured from poverty and violence. A strong western hemisphere means a secure and peaceful hemisphere.
Women have taken the country. There needs to be a concerted effort to bring safety to women in the workplace. The country has an infrastructure that victimizes women. It is not enough to have the opportunity to education and work, it is those very venues of opportunity that has traumatized women with scars that last a lifetime. We have much work to do. The most troubling aspect of this strange entitlement was it's thriving invisibility. No more.
Children and their security have to be a part of the focus of the new US House. The country is listening. The people were listening to return a Democratic majority to the US House. Children are our future and their safety and well being are paramount to the security of this country. It is outrageous violence occurs in their lives on a regular basis.
I congratulate the Democrats for taking so many Governor victories. That is important beyond just a victory, there needs to be an examination of election maps and an end to the Republican power dynamics impose on the people of those states. Exposing the manipulative Republican priorities and the removal of "equality and fairness" is important to bring an understanding to the people. It will empower their future voting.
States need to return priority to clean air and water at the very time when deregulation in Washington, DC places the health of their citizens in danger.
Unfortunately, there are issues with corruption that showed up in the Senate races. The idea a Secretary of State can control the election where he was running for Governor is astounding. It only goes to prove the degree of immorality and corruption that exists within that party. The Republicans don't only allow corruption, they encourage it. The fact that minority candidates were exclusively limited to the Democratic Party is a stunning reality. It is important these victors are held in esteem and encourage more minority victories in the USA.
The new Democratic majority of the US House know their constituents and their constituents priorities in their victories, the Democratic leadership must listen to these priorities and work toward fulfilling their promises. The victories in 2020 are important and should be built on the victories of 2018.
