Pennsylvania Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick is participating in the least productive Congress in our nation’s recent history as measured by the number of bills passed since the GOP took control of the House. But there is no need to fear that the needs of our nation and allies are going unmet. Congressman Fitzpatrick has recently introduced a bill to honor the “Rosie the Riveters” who fought fascism during World War 2 in the Home Front. He recently bragged about his hard word on this accomplishment in his weekly newsletter.
Yet Congressman Fitzpatrick and the GOP controlled House have done nothing to support our ally, the democracy of Ukraine from invasion by fascist Russia. Aid bills to Ukraine languish for months while they vacation and bend their knees to the Putin-loving former president who wants no such bills passed for his own perceived political needs.
Congressman Fitzpatrick and the GOP controlled House have done nothing to stop the resurgence of a former president who incited a violent insurrection to obstruct the peaceful transfer of power. Instead they facilitated, either through their silence or active support, the nomination of this person, who has over 80 felony indictments, has a recent conviction for sexual assault, says he will be a dictator on day one of his presidency, and predicts a bloodbath if he loses, to be the GOP presidential candidate.
Congressman Fitzpatrick and the GOP controlled House have done nothing to protect the freedom of women to control their own bodies, but instead have taken steps to deny such freedom.
I don’t think any Rosie the Riveter who worked tirelessly against fascism and for our freedoms would think very highly of Congressman Fitzpatrick and the GOP controlled House. Do you?
Let’s stop the rise of fascism in our country this year. Vote Democratic to preserve our freedoms and our democracy. Together, like the Rosies before us, we can do it!
