Boycott Boebs

Our so-called congressional representative, pistol-packing Lauren Boebert, doesn’t like separation of Church and State. The Church should control the State, she says. Like Iran, for instance?

Never mind that many colonists in the 1600s and 1700s left their ancestral homes in Europe and made the dangerous ocean crossing to a wild land to escape just that. It’s probably why the First Amendment says Congress shall make no law regarding the establishment of religion, and why the Constitution says there shall be no religious test to hold public office.

Of course, Boebert took the oath of office in early January 2021 to protect and defend the Constitution and then violated that oath a few days later when she, along with a majority of House Republicans, tried to block the peaceful and legal transfer of power to Joe Biden.

In Boebert’s 2020 campaign, she made it clear she would only represent people from her end of the political spectrum. She’s kept that promise. Everyone else can stick it where the sun don’t shine.

She’s spent her first term introducing wingnut bills and resolutions that went nowhere, hanging out with congressional wingnuts from other states and embarrassing western Colorado. We don’t need another two years of that. Vote for Democrat Adam Frisch for competent representation.

And if you want to keep democracy and women’s rights, boycott all GOP candidates.
