Freedom is Fragile
Conservatives are putting it all on the line the next five weeks to win the 2020 election.
At the Supreme Court, Justice Ruth Ginsburg’s passing is a true loss of a legal mind. President Trump’s nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett will be a great addition to the Supreme Court in the years ahead. Judge Barrett served under Justice Scalia after she finished college. She spent 15 years as a law professor at Notre Dame Law School before being nominated by President Trump to the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals in 2017. Her confirmation will help move the nation back to conservative and constitutional principles.
To achieve this, we must ensure everyone is registered and votes so that we can re-elect President Trump and retain the Senate majority.
The voter registration deadline is Friday, October 9 at 5 PM. If you are not registered to vote GO NOW and do so. You can check your voter registration by going to this website: https://vt.ncsbe.gov/RegLkup/
