TALKING POINTS

Talking Points on Republicans' Extreme Agenda:

  • Republicans have made their priorities clear already. Here is their true agenda:


  • Repeal key pieces of the IRA and make health care more expensive. Republicans have come right out and said it: They want to repeal efforts to lower health care, prescription drug, and energy costs, even if it means shutting down the government

 

  • Ban abortion nationwide. Building on their earlier attempts and Kevin McCarthy’s promise, House Republicans introduced another bill to ban abortion nationwide. And Lindsey Graham wants to throw doctors and nurses in jail for providing health care services.

 

  • Put Social Security and Medicare on the chopping block. Sen. Rick Scott and the Republican Study Committee have introduced plans to sunset or roll back access to Social Security and Medicare. This is outrageous, but it isn’t new. Republicans for decades have attempted to dismantle Social Security and Medicare and now they are at it again.

 

  • Repeal the Affordable Care Act. Republicans will again try to repeal the ACA. Sen. Ron Johnson has called for it if Republicans retake control of Washington, and the Rick Scott plan to sunset federal programs every five years could do it as well. 

 

  • Defund the DOJ and FBI. Hellbent on standing up for Donald Trump, Republicans have made numerous calls to defund the FBI, DOJ, and multiple other government agencies. 

 

  • Undermine democracy and cancel votes. Republicans have shown a relentless commitment to Donald Trump’s Big Lie, voting against ensuring what happened January 6 doesn’t happen again.

 

  • And if that’s not bad enough, this Republican agenda can be seen through their NO votes on laws that address actual challenges people are facing: 


  • American Rescue Plan, which created record job growth and recovery, kept small businesses open, funded law enforcement and first responders, and many other things.

 

  • Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which is creating good-paying jobs while improving our nation’s infrastructure. 

 

  • Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, the largest step forward on broadly popular commonsense gun reform in 30 years.

 

  • CHIPS and Science Act which will reduce America’s reliance on foreign industry, boost our ability to compete with China, and secure supply chains through good-paying American manufacturing jobs.

 

  • PACT Act, which will get critical health care to the brave veterans exposed to burn pits while serving in the military.

 

  • The Inflation Reduction Act which is expected to curb inflation, lower costs like prescriptions drugs, and create jobs – setting families and America back on track and stronger than ever.

Republican election denier running in House District 48

Democracy Denial will not go unquestioned in DuPage County

A story was revealed on the Capitol Fax Political Blog 2 days ago that is disturbing. It was revealed that Illinois Republican candidate for State Representative District 48, Jennifer Sanalitro, attended the Capitol Insurrection on January 6, 2021. The main aim of this rally was to stop the certification of the 2020 US Presidential election.


Wyoming Congresswoman Lynne Cheney famously sums that day up best with the following: “President Trump summoned the mob, assembled the mob, and lit the flame of this attack."


On this day, President Trump summoned now candidate Jennifer Sanalitro, assembled the mob around her and she struck a match and walked away, as she now claims she went back to her hotel room. She struck that match when she ignored court case after court case that clearly showed Trump lost the election. She got on that plane to DC anyway showing bad judgement.


Along with her fellow travelers, she propagated the big lie detailed in her picture holding the sign ‘Save America’ begging the question from what? This sentiment contributed to the violence that day.


She was proud of this day, posting it on her cover page for a social media account, until she wasn’t proud and deleted it. She was proud of a clear and present danger to our democracy until she wasn’t. Think about that.


Her explanation raises more questions than it answers. Our community has concerns. We have a candidate running for Illinois State Representative (48), the same legislative body Abraham Lincoln served in, who is a democracy denier.

This is unfortunately a dangerous trend. I call on Jennifer Sanalitro to affirm the results of the 2020 Presidential Election and state clearly Joe Biden got more total votes nationally than Donald Trump. I call on her to say Joe Biden got more electoral votes than Donald Trump and Donald Trump lost the 2020 Presidential Election.


Additionally I call on Evelyn Sanguinetti, Republican candidate for Dupage County Clerk, to do the same. In this important upcoming election our community needs to know a candidate running to administer our elections isn’t a democracy denier.

Our community needs answers and we need those answers in 48 hours. The silence on the issue of our very Democracy would speak volumes. The good news, Dupage County voters get to speak volumes on November 8, 2022.

The DuPage County GOP, as evidenced in the following email, STILL believes that they are “stopping a steal”. Fairness and Democracy are not Democratic or Republican issues, but crucial to America. We need to send a message to the GOP that we are smarter than their SAF-T scare tactics, braver than their divisive attacks, and proud patriots of this nation. We will send this message in the ballot box.
