Op Ed # 683 The 2024 Combat Veterans For Congress Annual Fundraising Letter

  • Op Ed # 683 The 2024 Combat Veterans For Congress Annual Fundraising Letter

August 31, 2024

My Fellow Americans,

Over the past 15 years, we have helped to elect 42 Combat Veterans For Congress from 24 states (4 US Senators and 38 Congressmen listed on the Alumni and Endorsement pages of our Website).  The attached list includes 22 endorsed Combat Veterans For Congress from 15 states, running for election to the Senate and the House.  Only once a year do we seek financial support for the campaigns of the endorsed Combat Veterans For Congress. 

The Republic has a critical National Security crisis!  Communist China’s Xi Jinping, Russia’s Putin, and Iran’s Mullah Ali Khamenei were emboldened by Biden’s inept responses during the Presidential Debate of June 27th; they, and millions of Americans had no doubt that Biden was suffering from a dementia neuro generative disease.  They realize that the United States does not have a stable cognitive leader who is able to perform the duties of the Commander-in-Chief of the US Armed Forces.  

Over the past 4 years, Obama’s “Open Border Policy” has allowed over 18 million Illegal Aliens from 180 countries to invade the US, at the rate of 350,000/month.  An additional 40,000 Illegal Aliens/month are being flown directly into 42 US cities, directly from Central America and Europe on Obama’s orders.  Chinese Communist Illegal Aliens and their Terrorist allies are prepared to strike, to take control of the US infrastructure, to subvert government agencies, to disable first responder facilities, and to disable US Military offensive and defensive weapons systems.    

Hundreds of thousands of homeless US Veterans sleeping on the streets are unable to afford to feed themselves because of the 21% inflation.  Unlike invading Illegal Aliens, homeless Veterans are not housed in hotels where $39,000/year is spent annually to feed each of them, and the US Veterans do not receive free, renewable $800 debit cards, free cell phones, free flights to any state, and do not receive free medical care like the Illegal Aliens are provided with by the Biden administration.

The invading Illegal Aliens, Iranian and Middle East Islamic Terrorists, Russian Spetsnaz Special Ops Forces, inmates released from foreign prisons/insane asylums, convicted criminals, over 400,000 Chinese Communist Military personnel, human traffickers, drug dealers, sex offenders, and Terrorists listed on the FBI Terror Watch List.  Over the last 4 years, thousands of “Got Away” Terrorists listed on the FBI Terror Watch List have illegally entered the US (in 2024 to date, 500 were captured trying to enter the US).   

The Biden administration eliminated the Republic’s energy “independence” by closing the Keystone Pipeline from Canada, re-entering the Paris Climate Accord, canceling crude oil drilling and natural gas recovery on federal land, and canceling fracking operations.  Obama had Biden go on an out-of-control spending spree with annual budgets of $7.3 Trillion in FY 2022, $10 Trillion in FY 2023, $6.7 Trillion for FY 2024 , and $7.3 Trillion for FY 2025, which ballooned the national debt to $35 Trillion.  That intentional and reckless out of control spending, fueled the 21% inflation; the highest inflation in over 40 years.  Obama and his fellow Marxists accomplished their Marxist’s goal of undermining the world’s faith in the US dollar as the international reserve currency.  

The irresponsible Obama economic policies resulted in the highest regular gas prices in US History, increasing the price of gas at the pump from $1.84/gal at the end of 2019 to the current high of $9.96/gal at a Chevron gas station in Mendicino, CA.  The rapidly increasing diesel gas prices have driven up vehicle delivery costs for “all” retail items; grocery prices increased by 25%, meat prices increased by 21.9%.  

Obama has had Biden sell off more than half of the crude oil stored in The Strategic Petroleum Reserve to Communist China and to other countries, dangerously depleting US crude oil reserves, severely endangering the US National Security in the event of a Taiwan conflict, or in the event of an attack from within the US by the millions of invading military aged Illegal Aliens.  Most recently Obama had Biden announce that the US intends to sell the remainder of the stored crude oil in The Strategic Petroleum Reserve for $2.34/gallon to try reduce the price of gas at the pump, which will leave the United States hopelessly weakened in the event of an internal or external attack on the Republic.

In September 2023, Obama unfroze and released $6 billion in funds to Iran.  On October 7, 2023, Hamas Terrorists attacked Israel, murdering 1200 innocent men, women, children, and infants; they still refuse to return 100 hostages, 4 of whom are US hostages.  After the attack, Obama transferred another $10 billion to Iran, without Congressional approval.  To appease Muslim voters in Minnesota and Michigan, Obama tried to prevent Israel from attacking 4 Hamas Battalions in Rafah that were engaged in the October 7th attack on Israel.  The Biden administration refused to sell certain weapons to Israel, to stop them from eliminating the 4 Hamas Battalions.  

Marxists determined that racial differences among Americans could be a critical vulnerability in America’s makeup of the population.  Marxists have been fueling racial conflict in the US to divide Americans by race; Obama has employed the Marxist created Critical Race Theory (CRT) to accomplish the divide.  Civilian leaders in the Pentagon have been indoctrinating the US Armed Forces in CRT, while discharging highly qualified white senior enlisted military personnel, falsely accusing them of White Supremacy.  Those racist policies have degraded “Combat Effectiveness” and “Unit Cohesion” of the US Armed Forces, resulting in a severe recruiting shortfall.   

At one time, the 22 endorsed Combat Veterans For Congress wrote a blank check made payable to “The United States of America for an amount up to and including their lives”; they will continue to protect and defend the US Constitutional Republic from all Marxist and Domestic enemies once they are in Congress.  You can help us oppose the attempt by Marxists to change the US Constitutional Republic into a Marxist State, and prevent them from taking control of Congress.  Please print out the below listed donation form, fill it out, and donate “any” amount to support the election of the 22 endorsed Combat Veterans For Congress listed in the attachment.  Kindly mail your donation to the address listed on the donation form.  You can also make a donation by going to the donation page on our website.  Thank you in advance, with kindest regards and best wishes, I remain:
