Freedom is under assault on a global level. From the growth of authoritarianism in free countries during covid (for example, Canada’s use of the formerly titled War Measures Act to shut down peaceful protests) to Putin’s efforts to erase an entire democratic nation from the map as anything more than his puppet, freedom is under siege. Republicans must continue to lead efforts to protect freedom because of the dire consequences that will follow if it goes to the wayside – and in this current conflict that means supporting Ukraine.

Ramsey NJ,  Congressional Candidate Frank Pallotta (NJ-05) responded to opponent Nick De Gregorio’s ludicrous “divestment pledge”. “It’s embarrassing that someone with barely 36 months experience in the financial services industry, would have the gall, to come up with a solution that solves nothing except to prove that he has neither the knowledge nor the simplest understanding of an industry he claims to be a part of. His ridiculous pledge would “mandate” all seated and new congressional members to sell all of their stock holdings before taking office. The first public unveiling of his “pledge” at a Fort Lee Republican Club meeting last month, was met with bewilderment from the audience when it was made clear that his solution solved exactly nothing.

In signing the Americans for Tax Reform Taxpayer Protection Pledge, he stated, “Living in the highest taxed region of our nation, I am generally wary of any new taxes, especially those taxes that serve special interests.
