Sen. Cotton Unavailable to Voters

I find it insulting that Cotton's constituents cannot get either his Washington or Rogers office by telephone. His Washington office will not even accept voicemails!

If you don't believe me, try calling him!

Gov Sarah Sanders LEARNS evangelist gay porm film shut down in Arkansas

Corey A. DeAngelis, school choice evangelist, was trotted out by Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders to champion her LEARNS school vouchers. Now he has been exposed for serious hypocrisy. Starring in gay porn while preaching that LGBTQ+ rights in schools is bad. Unfortunately his starring roll in a gay film is blocked in Arkansas because of evangelical rules.

Politicians who flip flop on policy stance... shouldn't they?

Politicians often face criticism for changing their stance on policy issues, but I believe true representatives adapt to the needs of their constituents. If voters’ views shift, it’s reasonable for politicians to change their positions as well. While I value the character of candidates, I prioritize their commitment to representing my interests in Washington. What are your thoughts?

Will Arkansas officials refuse to certify election results?

Being a very red state, I'm wondering if the election certification alarms will be a problem here. I can see why the swing states will have problems. Does anyone know anything about this in Arkansas? Since the governor is a Trumper, I have no problem believing she would do anything possible (illegal, too) if called upon by her "mentor" and "hero" (RNC) ugh.

For those planning on voting for Kamilla Harris

One of the big issues that sunk her run for the presidency in 2020 was Tulsi Gabbard's accusations during a presidential debate. How did you feel about it then, has your opinion changed and or does it not matter to you in this race?

Marijuana Violations: Gabbard accused Harris of putting over 1,500 people in jail for marijuana violations, juxtaposing this with Harris's admission and laughter about having smoked marijuana herself. This was highlighted as a hypocrisy in Harris's approach to marijuana laws.

Death Row Case: Gabbard criticized Harris for blocking evidence that could have potentially freed an innocent man from death row, referring to the case of Kevin Cooper. This accusation was about Harris's handling of justice where she allegedly obstructed the path to proving innocence.

Criminal Justice Reform: Gabbard attacked Harris for not doing enough to reform the criminal justice system, suggesting that Harris missed opportunities to make significant changes during her tenure as Attorney General.

Cash Bail System: There was an accusation that Harris fought to maintain a cash bail system, which Gabbard argued disproportionately impacts poor people, exacerbating the issue of pre-trial detention for those unable to afford bail.

General Critique: Beyond specific accusations, Gabbard's critique also touched on what she perceived as Harris's failure to secure the border, though this was more of a general political attack rather than tied directly to her record as Attorney General.
