The festival at Wilson College, Chambersburg provided a space to explain the importance of voting yes to retain our PA judges and to spread the word about all our great local candidates who are running in Franklin County.

New example of straight white Christian American males urging violence through "conservative values": Brian Kilmeade suggested executing the homeless, in thought & aloud, "Or involuntary lethal injection. Or something. Just kill them" to 1,500,00 viewers.
He apologized wasn't fired.

9/17: Constitution Day.
As the Republican-controlled Congress surrenders its power of the purse & takes no action on executive orders that defy the 14th Amendment & due process, I find it difficult to celebrate.
Yet we can draw upon its spirit found in The Preamble.

The attack on Free Speech calls for a national strike.
For the US government to prevent criticism of the US president is deeply unAmerican.
We, The People, would prevail, our lives would bounce back, and our precious Democracy and national security would be restored.

Pennsylvania must remove the crisis pregnancy centers from teaching their unvetted "education" to public school students and leave the sexuality instruction in the hands of public school teachers certified in secondary health education.

As abhorrent as ICE facilities and detention are, gun violence is not the answer.
I absolutely condemn the gun violence at the ICE detention center in Texas. May those who died rest in peace.

These mailings urge Pennsylvanians to vote "no" to retain bipartisan judges of Pennsylvania's Supreme Court.
Pennsylvanians should vote "YES" to retain justices Christine Donohue, Kevin Dougherty and David Wecht

Is Portland, Oregon "war-ravaged"?
No, Trump wants to turn US military against protesters demonstrating at an Immigration Customs Enforcement facility. Oregon’s governor rejected the President’s comment, stating that Portland & Oregon can manage local public safety. The Guardian tinyurl.com/3bmezwd2

Today, 8 activists “died” in front of US Rep. Joyce’s Chambersburg office. Our US Rep. is not interested in or concerned with our health. Whether healthcare, nutrition, or caring for the environment, Rep. Joyce's votes are detrimental to our survival. Hold him accountable!
Vote Beth Farnham 2026.

"...we should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military -- National Guard, but our military,..." - Pres. Trump said, disregarding the Constitution, violating the 1878 Posse Comitatus Act, gleefully turning the US military on the American people.

See ALT for more post.

Image of the Declaration of Independence.

He is embodying: ”He [King George III] has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power." - Grievance #12 of the Declaration of Independence.

Congress has not enacted any bill for Trump to overrun whichever cities he doesn't like with the US military & doesn't have the consent of these states.

Our country doesn't accept rule by monarchy. That was the point of not only The Declaration of Independence, but also the Revolution, the Articles of Confederation, and the US Constitution that followed. So call your members of Congress and tell them to IMPEACH TRUMP or RESIGN. If they can't remember that they swore an oath of office to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against ALL enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC" then they are unfit to serve.

If they impeach Trump and remove him from office, great. But if the Republicans are just fine with the US military murdering innocent civilians, then keep calling on them to resign.
Because when enough Republican members of Congress resign the Democrats will be in control of the US House of Representatives and the US Senate, and we can finally, finally, AND PEACEFULLY end this nightmare of an administration.

So be like the American Revolutionaries and #ChooseDemocracy

In a breach of our Democracy, Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, has yet to swear in A. Grijalva, who just won an election in Arizona last week.
Because the Speaker of the House works for Trump instead of for us, contrary to how the Founders of this country created our government.

Thanks to Newport, Perry County, for holding Canal Days festival.
I listened to across-parties voters' concerns about erosion of our Democracy, rising cost of living, threats to their jobs.
Perry County voters know the Trump administration is harmful for our country. More in ALT.

Woman in hat (Beth Farnham) talking to people in front of the BethFarnhamforCongress tent.

We can solve this by voting out the entrenched Republicans like our own US Representative, multimillionaire John Joyce, who refuses to check Trump's violations of the US Constitution and, instead, vote in caring Democrats like me, Beth Farnham.
When we vote in a Congress who won't let Trump ruin our country,
