Ten Reasons Why I Will Not Vote Republican
As you can tell I am a strong believer in Human Rights and providing a safety net for those who are less fortunate. Over and over, the Republicans politicians have labeled trans-people and lesbians and gays as pedophiles, perverts and have tried to deny us equal rights.
The Republicans want to do away with a woman’s choice to control their bodies. They want to ban all forms of birth control and ban all abortions including when their health is at stake and rape. They believe that life begins at conception, but that is their personal religious beliefs which they want to impose on everyone else.
They have attempted to marginalize minorities in the laws that they have passed. They have passed laws that require people to carry proof of citizenship which they use to discriminate against Latinos and other foreign born Americans. Just by watching their party convention it was very obvious that their party is a party for white people.
When a person was wearing a tee shirt at a rally that said, “Let’s put a white man back in the Whitehouse” and another person at another rally wore a tee shirt “Send him back to Kenya” Romney never spoke out against them. By being silent he spoke in favor of racism, and both of them could plainly be seen from the podium.
The Republicans have been systematically passing laws to deny people their right to vote by claiming voter fraud, but in numerous courts cases they have been unable to support those claims and they have actually boasted that the purpose of the laws are to block minority votes.
The Republicans have cut funding for Head Start, WIC (Women, Infants and Children), SNAP, TANF and for Ryan White Act and for low income health care programs. This comes at a time when more people are in need of help. They have passed legislation that would privatize Social Security (Which would create a huge windfall for Wall Street) and replace Medicare with a voucher system (They have since said that they will leave Medicare alone for people who are retired or nearing retirement, thereby separating the senior vote from everyone else.) which would create a bonanza for the insurance companies.
About FEMA Romney said, “Absolutely, every time you have an occasion to take something from the federal government and send it back to the states, that’s the right direction. And if you can go even further and send it back to the private sector, that’s even better.” Mr. Romney not only believes that states acting independently can handle the response to a vast East Coast storm better than Washington, but that profit-making companies can do an even better job. He said it was “immoral” for the federal government to do all these things if it means increasing the debt.
They have tried to pass a flat tax and cut deduction for mortgages while at the same time remove taxes from capital gains, dividends and estate tax.
Paul Ryan and other Republicans politicians have stated that their goal is to do away with all regulatory agencies and let business regulate themselves.
Their Party Platform says…”We support the public display of the Ten Commandments as a reflection of our history and of our country’s Judeo-Christian heritage…” and that they believe in the teaching of religion in schools, imposing their religious beliefs on others who are not Christian. This goes against the Constitution which the Supreme Court has ruled numerous times by both conservative and liberal justices, three guesses what religion would be taught? In Kansas they passed a law banning to ban Islamic Shariah law.
The Republican answer to the energy crisis is to “Drill Baby Drill,” they said they would increase drilling in the United States and cut funding to solar and wind power. They also said that they would cut funding for alternative energy sources and repeal minimum mpg standards for automobiles and that they would cut funding to alternative transportation systems.
The Republican controlled House has introduced laws to gut the Clean Water and Clean Air Acts. They have tried to gut OSHA by reducing their budget until the agency cannot function. Romney has promised to repeal the Dodd – Frank law and once again let Wall Street run untether.
