“Aaron Gies is our best chance of getting our democracy back”

A OPINION by Sid Parks, Hornell NY

Our Republican Congress has given control of our government to the president, so we no longer have a democracy. With no controls, President Trump has started a war, imposed tariffs, allowed ICE to kill citizens with no consequences, enriched himself by billions of dollars, given family and friends no-bid government contracts, and supported Russia in their war with Ukraine.

And what has our Republican representatives been doing? Apparently nothing!

Oh wait, Congressman Langworthy supported a bill that would prohibit members of Congress from trading stocks. That is a joke since Trump has made an astounding 22000 stock trades and made over 2 Billion dollars.

Right now we have a chance to put some controls on the president by electing Aaron Gies to Congress. Aaron will work to make things better for all of us by opposing those policies that have resulted in in higher prices on almost everything, and work to insure that we all have affordable health care.

Aaron Gies is our best chance of getting our democracy back. He may be our last chance.
