Letter to the Editor: Put an end to the Build Back Better agenda

To the Editor:

Allamakee County Republicans invite all Independents and Democrats in Iowa and the rest of the nation to join us in putting an end to the Build Back Better (BBB) agenda of President Joe Biden and the out-of-touch Democrats. The Build Back Better  is right out of the Karl Marx playbook, requiring destruction of the system that is already working, so it can be replaced by a “Marxist” program that means more big government, less individual freedom and diminishing the power of the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

The BBB will do nothing for Iowa and we must show the Democrats that Iowa is that “Shining Beacon of Freedom” that is a perfect example for the rest of the nation to follow. The BBB bill being debated in Congress now will do nothing but fuel more inflation, take away state’s rights, add to the debt and promote programs that will diminish the value of what Iowa produces for the country. It will also give as much as a $3600 child credit to families who are in the country illegally.

Several independent economists have stated that the actual cost of the bill will be closer to $5 trillion rather than the $1.9 trillion being claimed by the Democrats. The bill is mostly pandering to Bernie Sanders and the “Squad” and the extremists in the Democrat Party who have taken over that party.

Join us and we will put an end to the flood of illegal immigrants pouring into the country. We know how to do that. If we do not close the border, by the time of the 2022 elections there will be about four million illegals in the country, more than the population of Iowa. They are not vaccinated and they are not vetted. We need to end this open border policy.

So far this year over 11 tons of fentanyl have been confiscated at the border. It is obvious that not all of it has been stopped since we now have about 100,000 drug overdose deaths per year in the country.

Join us and help put the focus on helping our veterans and our homeless. They should be cared for way before anyone entering the country illegally. How absurd is it to offer free education and child payments to illegals and not take care of our veterans and homeless?

Iowa is a perfect example for congress of fiscal responsibility. We have shown how to balance the budget and maintain a surplus. We remain committed to promoting the policies of the previous administration that lead to higher wages for the lower and middle classes, fewer people on welfare and less dependence on China.

Help us and we will once again focus on America first rather than the needs of one party over the needs of the country.

We believe in the things that made this country great, including capitalism, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and individual freedom. Join us in defeating this monstrosity. Help us to return to One Nation Under God With Liberty and Justice For All. Help us keep America the best country in the world.
