As the Democratic Party’s candidates are preparing for the 2024 convention in Chicago and the presidential election I decided to compare what then candidate John F. Kennedy said and believed in comparison to what the current Harris/Walz say and believe.

In doing my research I came across a campaign poster for John Fitzgerald Kennedy [click here to view it]. The Kennedy poster states:

KENNEDY

“LET US NOT SEEK

the REPUBLICAN ANSWER

or the

DEMOCRATIC ANSWER

but the RIGHT answer

∼

LET US NOT SEEK

to fix the blame

FOR THE PAST

LET US ACCEPT

our own

RESPONSIBILITY

for the

FUTURE.”

At the bottom of the poster was printed “The American’s Creed” written  by William Tyler Page. William Tyler Page was an American public servant. He worked on the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C. for 61 years, first as a page boy and later as a clerk of the United States House of Representatives.

Here are the words printed exactly as they appear on then candidate Kennedy’s campaign poster:

I BELIEVE IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AS A GOVERNMENT OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed, a democracy in a republic, a sovereign NATION OF MANY SOVEREIGN STATES; a perfect union one and inseparable established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which AMERICAN PATRIOTS SACRIFICED THEIR LIVES AND FORTUNES. I therefore believe it is my DUTY TO MY COUNTRY to love it, to support its Constitution, to obey its laws, to respect its flag, and to defend it against all enemies.

Let’s compare and contrast statements by Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, the two Democratic Party candidates, to the words of candidate John F. Kennedy.

The Harris/Walz Ticket

Fox News published the following 11 policies of the Harris-Walz campaign.

1. Oppose treating illegals as criminals.
2. Claimed closing the border violated federal law.
3. Compared I.C.E. to the KKK
4. Support defunding the police.
5. Support ban on private healthcare.
6. Co-sponsored Green New Deal.
7. Backed making Minnesota a sanctuary state.
8. Signed sweeping police reform legislation.
9. Delayed deployment of the National Guard during Floyd Riots.
10. Unveiled plan pushing all electric vehicles.
11. Signed “Trans Refugee” bill and order protecting gender surgeries for minors.

It is important to listen to what politicians say, because that is an indicator of what they will do if elected to, in this case, the White House.

First Kamala Harris.

19. Secure our elections, including same day voting, voter identification, paper ballots, and proof of citizenship.

Here is what President Trump said during his inaugural speech in 2016:

Today’s ceremony, however, has very special meaning. Because today we are not merely transferring power from one administration to another, or from one party to another — but we are transferring power from Washington, D.C. and giving it back to you, the American People. 

For too long, a small group in our nation’s Capital has reaped the rewards of government while the people have borne the cost. Washington flourished — but the people did not share in its wealth. Politicians prospered — but the jobs left, and the factories closed.

The establishment protected itself, but not the citizens of our country. Their victories have not been your victories; their triumphs have not been your triumphs; and while they celebrated in our nation’s capital, there was little to celebrate for struggling families all across our land.

That all changes — starting right here, and right now, because this moment is your moment: it belongs to you.

What truly matters is not which party controls our government, but whether our government is controlled by the people. January 20th 2017, will be remembered as the day the people became the rulers of this nation again. The forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer.

You came by the tens of millions to become part of a historic movement the likes of which the world has never seen before. At the center of this movement is a crucial conviction: that a nation exists to serve its citizens.

President Trump sounds very much like JFK.

Much more so than the candidates currently running on the Democratic ticket.

The Bottom Line

Each legal American voter has a choice to make on November 5th, 2024.

That choice must to be based upon what each presidential candidate will do during their term and how each of their policies impact individual freedoms, jobs, family, community, culture and each individuals pursuit of happiness.

We have provided their policies for those who wish to make their decision based upon the facts and not on media or political spin.

It’s not what they say that matter. It’s what they actually do.

Compare their records while in office. That is the benchmark.

On November 5th, 2024 you’re vote will determine which policies are enacted.

That is the truth.

REMEMBER: It’s Their Policies, Stupid!

Choose wisely!
