<h4>No Kings!</h4>

NO KINGS is a nonviolent national day of action and mass mobilization in response to the increasing authoritarian excesses and corruption of the Trump administration.&nbsp;&nbsp;It is non-partisan in nature. Although this event is being hosting by members of your Orleans County Democratic Committee, all are welcome.&nbsp;&nbsp;Municipal and street parking are available, and we ask participants to respect the needs of businesses. How can people NOT be concerned about what this current administration is doing to solidify unaccountable&nbsp;power?&nbsp;A war and a gold-plated ballroom, neither with Congressional authorization celebrate&nbsp;an inflated ego; trial balloons about an unconstitutional third term; Undermining&nbsp;voting integrity on the basis of election irregularities that have never been proven in court case after court case; Promoting our nation's 250th Anniversary in ways that only a dictator could love; Changing government departments for personal gain as evidenced by appointment of leaders without expertise in these areas; Pardoning convicted criminals following massive business deals or donations to campaigns - These are the things we protest&nbsp;today.&nbsp;The No Kings Movement has been accused of over-dramatizing its&nbsp;case,&nbsp;but everything we have warned about has come true as democracy is being squeezed and squeezed until there will be nothing left.&nbsp;It's time to take a stand in every&nbsp;village and town. The basic tenets of democracy are evaporating before our eyes,&nbsp;but we who are participating in this No Kings event, one of thousands of such gatherings across the country, are hopeful, deeply committed, and not afraid to speak truth&nbsp;to power. Join us, stand with us, and add your voice.&nbsp;

Where does the Orleans County Democratic Committee stand on STAMP? We stand with indigenous communities and will continue to oppose STAMP moving through their communities.

Write a short blurb about an issue your campaign is highlighting. Try to keep the text a similar size between the various issue blurbs.

This is your chance to present questions and hear directly from the candidates earning your vote for the June 23rd primary. Both candidates present a wonderful opportunity to oust ineffective Claudia Tenney from our district!
