Hands Off! McCall Fights Back!


Are you better off today than you were prior to Trump becoming President again? Are you safer now than before? Are your rights more protected from government intrusion than before. The answer is clearly No.

Trump has:
  • Imposed crazy tariffs which are driving up costs for everyday Americans. Retirees are seeing their life savings drastically lowered due to the stock market’s major crash.

  • Recklessly fired federal employees like our valuable local U.S. Forest Workers. Over 30,000 of the Federal workforce have been fired by an unelected immigrant, billionaire Musk. 

  • Kissed up to Putin and abandoned our traditional allies which has made us less safe.Proposing to annex countries like Greenland, which are turning our NATO allies into adversaries that strengthens the global power of Russia and China.

  • Put Veteran’s care in jeopardy by planned elimination of 80,000 employees at the V.A.

  • Harmed the health of everyday Americans by drastically cutting Medicaid for millions of Americans.

  • Snatched people off the street by plainclothes agents in unmarked vans. Agents with no warrants or ignoring due process, is not a government under the rule of law. 
Many people voted for Trump thinking he would address the cost of groceries, but instead people are seeing prices go up. They voted for a strong leader and instead they find they have a leader who disregards the rule of law and fails to address our day-to-day concerns. 

The Republican Party has become an ally in this destruction of our constitutional government. Idaho Republican Congressmen and Senators are not holding town halls to hear from their constituents. They are silent in regards to these attacks on our way of life. 

Even the so called moderates in the Republican Party have caved into Trump’s ignorant and cruel actions. They allowed him to divide us, by his attack on women, minorities and by simply anyone who stands up against his chaotic rule.

In Idaho, we see the Republican Party attack Public Education with private school funding. They have attacked health care coverage for thousands, by cutting back on Medicaid Expansion with the work requirement hoax. 

While Trump talks about immigrants eating cats, the Democratic Party has been the party for the average person and not the party that looks to please only the billionaires with tax cuts. The Democratic Party is the party that brought you Medicare, Social Security, Medicaid, Affordable Care Act and Environmental Protection. 

Together we can protect our democracy and create a better life for hard working people and their families. Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall said in 1992, “We must dissent from the poverty of vision and the absence of moral leadership. We must dissent because America can do better, because America has no choice but to do better.”
