No Backing Down: Leading Monroe with Moral Courage in 2025
As your mayor, I’m done hearing we should dodge the culture wars. That’s not leadership—it’s surrender. In Monroe, we’re facing neo-leftist chaos head-on, and our 2025 elections are our chance to lead with God’s truth, not feelings. If we don’t shape our future, radicals will—and they’re already trying.
Culture Wars? We Set the Terms
The neo-leftists—less than 2% of folks—think they can bully 98% of us. We saw it with Hands Off protests in Monroe and Waxhaw. They marched, no trouble—First Amendment’s real—but half couldn’t name their cause. Trump and Elon are saving billions, and they’re whining? It’s fake. NGOs like Open Society, tied to USAID, bankroll this noise—same as paid BLM agitators in 2020. November 2024 showed America’s done with it. Now, Monroe’s 2025 vote is our turn to lead.
Morality’s Non-Negotiable
They say, “Don’t legislate morality.” That’s bunk—government’s done it forever. Laws against stealing, lying, killing? That’s morality. When the church—God’s pillar—goes soft, we step up. Proverbs 29:2 says, “When the righteous rule, the people rejoice.” George Washington warned in 1796: “National morality cannot prevail in exclusion of religious principle.” Feelings shift; God’s law doesn’t. We’re not replacing the church—we’re holding society together.
Our Judeo-Christian Core
America’s built on it. Almost half the Declaration’s 56 signers—24—had Bible training. It mentions God four times: “Nature’s God,” “Creator,” more. North Carolina’s 1868 Constitution starts: “We, the people… grateful to Almighty God…” Article IX, Section 1 ties morality to good government. That’s our anchor—especially in 2025.
2025 Elections: Conservatives, Vote Your Values
Monroe’s mayoral race and three council seats—James Kerr, Julie Thompson, Gary Anderson—are up. If they’re conservatives, their votes should show it. Last night, council pushed a 1% occupancy tax hike—$185,000 more, with $950,000 already banked. Why? Raising taxes isn’t conservative. Kerr and Thompson held DEI, ignoring Trump’s order. Two and a half years to address drag shows as adult entertainment? Too slow. Travel budgets hit $7,000 per member—taxpayer cash—when $1,500’s the norm. A $46,000 city hall study passed—me, Dotson, and Anderson said no—but why spend now, mid-tax reevaluation? Conservatives don’t burn cash.
Lead or Lose
This 2025 election’s our shot. Run, vote, dig into candidates—no media fluff. The New Republican Party’s bold—Trump, Elon, us. Proverbs 14:34: “Righteousness exalts a nation.” I’m busting Monroe’s good ol’ boy club—fair shots for all, led by truth. Our jobs, airport—poised to boom, but not with loose spending or radicals. November 2024 set the tone. Let’s lead Monroe to rejoice.
Stay engaged. Stay MonroeStrong.
