(Photo credit: Diego Cuevas/Vizzor Image/Getty Images) Democrats’ Corrupt Politicians Act pending in the Senate is a frontal assault on our Constitution’s federalist recipe for freedom which has served our nation well for centuries, putting Congress in complete control of its own elections. The American people must oppose this hostile takeover of our right to vote. Many things combine to create the magic we call “American Exceptionalism,” which at least since Ronald Reagan has been a hallmark of the Republican Party. We continue to pursue and realize the Pilgrims’ vision to make America a “shining city upon a hill,” a biblical image that patriots have rooted deeply in the ethos of this great nation.
