My name is Hope Danoff, and I want to share with you the essence of Republicans With HOPE. I have always been a person of action, understanding at a very young age that one person can really make a positive change for others in our community. Recently, I worked with my township commissioner to install stop signs and traffic safety measures on my street.

I witnessed several different and disturbing policies enacted and trends such as open borders, crime, defunding and demoralizing the police, the foreign affairs debacles, the overtaking and indoctrination in our schools, biological males competing on women’s sports teams, and the corruption in Washington, D.C.

It seems that what is up is down, and what is down is up. I cannot just sit by when I see these things happening in our country.

The open border policy invites millions of undocumented migrants to our country. Many of the undocumented migrants are beautiful people longing for the American Dream, but many are not. Recent statistics released by ICE show 435,000 undocumented migrants with criminal convictions have been released into our towns. We are a country of immigrants and should use the legal immigration policy that works for everyone. Democrats want an open border, Republicans do not.

Crime has soared in our communities under Democratic policies. In part because of undocumented migrants, but also because we have normalized it and allow crime to occur without accountability. I see this everywhere, but it is worse in the very liberal cities. Republicans stand for law and order.

The economy has become so bad it’s difficult to make ends meet. Prices have soared including the necessities like groceries and fuel. More and more people are becoming dependent on government subsidies just to survive. The economic and inflation problems are caused by government over-spending with lack of accountability. Democrats spend with little or no limits. The most recent atrocity was the Inflation Reduction Act for $1.2 trillion which, ironically, caused inflation to rise. Republicans also overspend, but within limits. Republicans lean more towards smaller government (free market solutions with less government intrusion).

We are on the verge of WWIII. When America is weak, the world is in chaos. Republicans believe in peace through strength. As a two-party system, neither party is perfect, but we have to pick one when we vote. I see the Republican Party as the party of hope. We are building a big tent; diverse, enthusiastic, and positive movement in the Republican Party.

Whereas, the Democratic Party is not the party of the people. The Democrats are the party of the progressive elites desiring to force their ideas onto “we, the people.” Democrats are the party of big government. Ronald Reagan once said, “When government gets too big, freedom is lost. Government is supposed to be the servant. But, when a government can tax the people with no limit or restraint on what the government can take, then the government has become the master.”

So, why do the urban communities continue to vote Democrat? I believe the media is extremely biased with an overall narrative that Democrats are the party that will help urban communities thrive while demonizing Republicans. You can see with your own eyes that it is not working and it is time for a change! Liberal policies are destroying the urban communities with homelessness, crime, poor education, high taxes, and stifling opportunities. Republicans welcome all with policies we know work including free market solutions, law and order, school choice, opportunity to grow and thrive.
