MIDTERM ELECTIONS: You Will Determine the Direction of the Country

It is crucial for the Republicans to retain control of the U.S. House and Senate. It means the difference between enacting or jettisoning the Trump agenda of strong immigration enforcement, election integrity, low taxes, low regulation, energy production, and other common-sense measures to Make America Great Again.  As opposed to the absolutely insane Democrats who want to defund the police, put pornography in the hands of schoolkids, and believe there are 57 genders.

So it is important for you and your friends to get out and vote in the midterm elections.  Your help is also vital — volunteer to phone bank or knock on doors for Republican candidates.

American Renaissance Network is building a list of especially get-out-the-vote and ballot chasing efforts.  If you know of one you recommend, please let us know.  Use our contact form or write us at mail@amrennet.us.

Here are more reasons to help the Republicans keep control of Congress this year:

America Can’t Afford Democrats’

VIOLENT CRIME WAVE

What do the most dangerous cities in America all have in common?  Democrat Mayors.  The top ten worst as ranked by violent crime are Memphis TN, St Louis MO, Detroit MI, Baltimore MD, New Orleans LA, Oakland CA, Birmingham AL, Little Rock AR, Milwaukee WI, Cleveland OH – none of which have had Republican mayors in this century.*  That’s not a coincidence, that’s a pattern.  Democrat officials act like pro-criminal mob bosses, refusing to prosecute repeat violent offenders, releasing them before trial with low or no bail, suspending sentences, and freeing even the most vicious illegal immigrant criminals—without notifying ICE—back into our communities.  For example…

In Charlotte, NC, the whole nation grieved together over the senseless stabbing death in 2025 of 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee, Iryna Zarutska, by an alleged repeat offender who, according to his own family, should not have been out on the streets.  A video captured the terrified victim in her commute by light rail from her job at a pizzeria.  After living in a bomb shelter for months due to Russian bombing, Iryna, her mother and brother fled to the safety of family members living in America.  She might have lived longer had she remained back home facing Putin rather than Democrat soft-on-crime officials.  All ten Republican US House members from the state called for the removal of liberal Magistrate Judge Teresa Stokes for ignoring Brown’s lengthy criminal record—including 14 prior arrests—when she freed him earlier that year without bail for a different infraction. Besides the pizzeria, Iryna also did baby sitting, pet walking and took English classes at a local college.  She believed she was living the American Dream.  Now she’s not even living.  Her family’s statement said in part, “We are heartbroken beyond words. Iryna came here to find peace and safety, and instead her life was stolen from her in the most horrific way.  No family should have to go through this.”  True.  But sadly, more families will go through this, especially those who live in Democrat-run cities.

In New York, NY, 83-year-old U.S. Air Force veteran, retired pilot, beloved father and grandfather Richard Williams died on March 17, 2026 due to a random attack in a Manhattan subway.  Four-time deported illegal immigrant Bairon Hernandez, roaming free in the sanctuary city despite over a dozen prior arrests, was arrested for randomly pushing Williams and another man off the subway platform onto the tracks below.  Good Samaritans pulled both victims to safety seconds before an oncoming train arrived. While the other man survived his injuries, Williams was hospitalized in critical condition and died nine days later.  Williams had survived military service, a house fire, prostate cancer, and had just celebrated his 55th wedding anniversary.  A daughter said this was “everybody’s father” and “everybody’s grandfather.” His alleged killer should not have even been in this country, much less walking around free to take this beloved American’s life.

In Fairfax, Virginia, once hailed as “America’s safest jurisdiction of its size” is now a sanctuary for foreign criminals resulting in County officials having to testify before Congress about their disastrous policies.  According to the Major Cities Chiefs Association, robberies, rapes, murders, and aggravated assaults there have increased significantly since Soros-backed Democrat district attorney Steve Descano took office six years ago.  Fairfax frequently makes national news as violent offenders are released into the community despite long criminal histories, pending charges, and ICE detainer requests.  A Salvadoran linked to MS-13 with a six-year criminal record was released and murdered his housemate the very next day… a Guatemalan, despite a judge’s final deportation order and new criminal charges of sexual battery and rape of a child, was set free… and shocking the nation, illegal Sierra Leone immigrant Abdul Jalloh, with some three dozen prior arrests over 10 years, was released despite police warning Descano’s office, “it is not a question of if, but rather when he will maliciously wound (or worse) again. That warning was ignored with tragic results.  Three months later Jalloh was arrested for stabbing to death a complete stranger, 41-year old mom Stephanie Minter at a bus stop.

ENOUGH!  Americans can’t afford any more Democrat-enabled assaults, rapes, and murders.  We can’t afford any more beautiful American cities being turned into third-world hell holes by Democrat politicians.  We can’t afford any more American lives destroyed by Democrat politicians.  Do not vote for Democrats because…

America can’t afford Democrats!

* Last date a non-Democratic mayor held office in America’s ten most dangerous cities:  Memphis, TN: 1991 [1, 2]; St. Louis, MO: 1949 [[1]; Detroit, MI: 1962 [1, 2]; Baltimore, MD: 1967 [1, 2, 3]; New Orleans LA: 1872; [1];Oakland, CA: 1977 [1, 2, 3]; Birmingham AL: 1975 [1 2.3 4 5.6]; Little Rock, AR: 1956 [1, 2]; Milwaukee, WI: 1908 [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ]; Cleveland, OH: 1989 [1, 2, 3, 4]

America Can’t Afford Democrats’

Five states, one political party, billions stolen from American taxpayers through official corruption.  That’s the consistent pattern in Democrat-run states (defined as the governor, major statewide office-holders and supermajorities in both legislative houses all being Democrats), issuing licenses to fake businesses and unqualified registrants by the thousands, with no required oversight.  For example…

California:  Democrat-run Los Angeles County’s blatant “license to steal” scandal set up over 700 hospice care offices in tiny storefronts, nail salons, auto parts stores, and virtually empty office buildings.  Enrolling thousands of non-terminal patients, and providing few or no services, these fraudsters bilked taxpayers out of an estimated $3.5 billion in fraudulent billing to Medicare/Medicaid.  Republican state lawmakers recently demanded an official probe into all fraud, claiming taxpayers may have been ripped off for as much as $180 billion!  In a separate California licensing scandal, the state illegally issued more than 17,000 commercial drivers licenses to foreign nationals—some couldn’t read English-language road signs—costing many American truckers their jobs, and some American drivers their lives.

Illinois:  In January, 2026, Illinois was one of five Democrat-led states whose federal child care and family assistance funds were cut off by the Trump Administration due to fraud concerns.  While a judge halted the freeze during legal action, the state’s own Auditor General had documented concerns over fake licensed service providers, improper billing and payments, failure to determine Medicaid eligibility, and other violations of federal regulations, robbing taxpayers and diverting funds from truly needy families.  Fraud has its consequences.  In the 19th Annual “Rich States, Poor States” ranking of economic performance, Illinois placed 49th out of 50 states based on sluggish GDP and employment growth over the last decade, and a net loss of nearly one million residents fleeing the Democrat domain.

Massachusetts:  In what has become an exploding nationwide scandal, Massachusetts failed to protect American taxpayers by overpaying more than $17 million to autism therapy providers for services not provided.  This may be only the tip of the theft iceberg. As of 2024, the state bureau responsible for oversight, MassHealth, had not conducted an audit of ABA Managed Care Entities since the state began covering ABA services in 2015.  Federal OIG audits flagged Massachusetts as high-risk for fraud due to overbilling, weak licensing, and little oversight by state agencies.  State Auditor Diana DiZoglio repeatedly criticized the Healey administration for lax verification and slow response to fraud warnings.  Whistleblowers allege upper management set a “tone of normalcy” around rising fraud and discouraged aggressive pursuit—a growing trend in many Democrat-dominated states.

Minnesota:  Up to $9 billion in suspected fraud across child care and Medicaid programs, over years of government whistleblowers’ objections, Democrat-licensed day care centers run mainly by Somali immigrants billed millions while serving few or zero children.  A $1.4 million earmark tucked into a federal spending bill by Congresswoman Ilhan Omar—a Somali immigrant—and the state’s two US Senators for a “substance abuse clinic” was red-flagged by Republicans and removed when it turned out to be for a Somali-owned restaurant.  The systemic corruption has made Minnesota the nation’s “poster child” for Democrat theft of taxpayers’ money.

New York:  New York’s Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program (CDPAP), pays untrained, uncertified caregivers to care for sick loved ones rather than hold jobs.  Created in 1994 as an alternative to nursing homes, in the last decade Democrats enabled the program to balloon into a hugely lucrative industry with little oversight.  Since 2019 annual spending exploded nearly 500 percent from $2.5 billion to over $12 billion today, administered by hundreds of “middlemen” who charge billions but provide no healthcare services.  A recent audit found taxpayers had been ripped off for some $1.2 billion in fraudulent Medicaid billing.  The state’s Department of Health called it a “fiscal crisis,” and even Governor Hochul labeled it “one of the most abused programs in the history of New York.”  The state finally passed overdue reforms, but the history of bloated Democrat programs hold little real hope.
~~~
How did Democrat officials respond to the flood of fraud?  In Minnesota for example, they worked to sabotage a bill to investigate the state’s fraud.  And in California they’re actually working to punish whistleblowers!  You read that correctly.  Assemblywoman Mia Bonta, wife of the Attorney General, introduced AB 2624 to criminalize investigation by citizen journalists like Nick Shirley.  Instead of fighting the crooks caught stealing billions of our tax dollars, Democrats are fighting to protect them!

It’s clear:  Democrats believe your vote gives them a license to steal.  Do not give them that power.
America can’t afford Democrats!

Americans Can’t Afford

DEMOCRAT “AFFORDABILITY”

They run on “affordability.”  But wherever Democrats gain majority rule, government spending and waste skyrocket, and life becomes unaffordable for ordinary Americans.

• The eight states with the highest cost of living (excluding DC and remote Alaska and Hawaii) are all Democrat strongholds:  California, Massachusetts, New York, Maryland, New Jersey, Washington, Vermont, Maine, Connecticut and Oregon.  All but Connecticut are among the top 10 homeless populations.
• California went from paradise to poverty with the nation’s highest prices for gas, utilities, groceries, taxes, and cost-of-living, plus the highest illegal immigrant population and per-capita welfare spending.  California leads the nation in the last six years for residents fleeing the state, while Republican-led Texas continues leading US migration INTO the state, followed by GOP-dominated Florida, North Carolina and Tennessee.
• Virginia’s new Democrat majority campaigned on “affordability,” then after election victory proposed 50 new taxes—and voted along party lines to increase their own pay 178 percent!  The new taxes targeted yard tools, groceries, guns and ammo, income, rideshares and delivery services like Amazon and Door Dash and fantasy sports leagues like DraftKings and FanDuel.  Nearly all these unpopular bills were held over for “continuation” until after the November elections—watch out for 2027!

Government spending by Democrats is at the heart of the problem.  For example:

• New York City’s budget—population 8.5 million—is $116.5 billion, or $13,700 per resident.  Compare that with Republican-majority states Florida ($117.4 billion with over 23 million people, $4,996 per resident) and Oklahoma ($12.5 billion (for over 4 million people, approximately $3,130 per resident)

America can’t afford Democrats!

To make America AFFORDABLE again, do NOT vote for Democrats!
