AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Low power transmission line added to Florida’s Electric Grid, has the power to raise rates. Apparently, there was no reason to build it and no independent regulatory authority to inspect it. The consumer advocate for Florida is a former Lobbyist. The Utility, is a contributor to GOP legislators. No one scrutinized this expensive inefficient operation and the citizens will pay more for less energy! Crony Capitalism is corrupt & benefits only the Politicians. That’s why Flint’s water was contaminated! It happens too often under GOP Legislators. Lobbyists first people, 2 nd?

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Yes, America is slaughtering our youth and its not about ideology. The Founding Fathers would never approve of the money accepted by today EXTREME GOP. NRA money, gun lobbyists money goes only to the GOP . If a small Corporation , like Daniels, gives $100,000. To the GOP PAC and money separately to McCarthy in the House andSenators , who is profiting? They’re profiting directly from the death of our children. When only 4 or 5 GOP stand for Gun Legislation, the rest are being influenced by the money. It’s money not ideology that talks. Furthermore, it’s odd that Trump spoke at the NRA, demanding no guns in his audience? Money talks ! And innocent children and teachers die. Today a school, tomorrow a concert. Propaganda, money and weapons kill. File a class action Lawsuit to stop the carnage in our Country. Life is more important than an expanded version of the Constitution, that not even the Late Antonin Scalia sanctioned.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce During Covid , the FederalGovernment gave $100 Billion to the States to expand Medicaid. On July 30, the law sunsets. When the automatic enrollment ends , it’s estimated, 5.4-11 million people will lose healthcare. This is an avoidable tragedy. Especially , since Covid isn’t ending this summer. The surge is expected during the fall and winter months. If Corporate tax cuts are permanent, why not make expanded Medicaid permanent and give people at least one safety net?

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce “We the People “ speak up against the use of guns without making the Public safe. They condemn the Republican advocacy of guns over the Lives of People. They would ban ownership of all assault weapons and limit the # of bullets sold. They want background checks and physicals determining mental competence. The list continues with registration and liability for all weapons in someone’s possession. Congress has a clear mandate from “We the People “, will the GOP agree to bipartisan Law in support of the Lives of People. ?

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Too bad 6 Justice’s believe the rights of States supersedes the Rights of an Individual. Overturning precedents that would allow a wrongly convicted person no recourse under the Law is cruel and a crime against Humanity! As we’ve seen Local and State Laws and Justice are fallible. Many have wrongfully been incarcerated and executed for crimes they didn’t commit and now the Supreme Court takes away the innocent person’s right to freedom by silencing with new evidence ? Are we a Constitutional Democracy or a group of loosely held together authoritarian fiefdoms? What has happened to the Rights of the Federal Government? What has happened to the Rights of We the People? The ultra conservative wing of the GOP, does not represent the will of the Majority. Vote for their continuance at your peril.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Day 89, Putin is laying waste to Eastern Donbas region. They’re using barrel bombs to destroy populations and level cities. Ukrainians are fighting back and executing Russian puppets. Donbas area intends to try Soldiers from the Steel Plant? No honor among these forces expected. It appears Putin wants Ukraine and not the Ukrainian people. Odessa being reassessed for use to prevent world hunger! No peace talks without Russian withdrawal. The War continues.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Abbott Labs makes 43% of all baby formula in America . It’s had 8 incidents of bacterial contamination in its Michigan plant, that it ignored. Meanwhile Abbott profit 400% and gave shareholders a 25% dividend boost. 2 babies died and several were sick. Their death is a result of Corporate negligence and the rot that has infused ourCorporations . Monopolies dominate Corporate America and they are not account able to anyone, certainly , not “We the People “. It’s time to enforce anti trust laws and make Corporations accountable for their actions. Where are huge fines and criminalization of their acts? Restore competition and break up all monopolies! One reason the Two Party System isn’t working!
