It's Time To Request
A Mail-In Ballot For The
2026 Election Year!
The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) has changed its postmark process so it reflects the date mail is first processed at a regional sorting facility, not when dropped off, causing potential delays for time-sensitive items like ballots and tax returns. To get a timely postmark, you must request a manual stamp at a local post office, use Certified or Registered Mail for a dated receipt, or mail items well in advance to account for processing delays.

Letter of the Week
Do Not Rewrite History....​
At the January 22,2026, congressional hearing, Jack Smith testified that “Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 election and to prevent the lawful transfer of power.”
The Republican congressmen on the Judicial Committee chose not to explore the facts of the indictments but instead went on to attack the messenger. Their questioning was combative and they were seemingly more concerned with scoring political points than in finding the truth. Meanwhile, we know what happened. We saw it happening in real time! And heard with our own ears Trump’s desperate actions to remain in power. Its hard to forget the call to “fight like hell”, or the sight of the violent mob attacking the police officers, or the chants to hang Mike Pence.
Trump and the Republican’s theatrical attempt to rewrite history will not succeed. We won’t forget their seditious conspiracy. We will continue to work to undo the Justice Department rule against criminal indictment of a sitting president and the Supreme Court’s ruling preventing the prosecution of a sitting president. No one, no matter how rich or how powerful should be above the law. Without the rule of law, without truth, we have no democracy.
