In the 2024 U.S. presidential election, Russia and Putin are a hot topic.

The War Between the States – of the States Addresses

It’s the war between the States – of the States addresses!

Folks are moving here in record numbers to become a part of our winning way of life. Californians and New Yorkers have never seen a state like ours – one that trusts our people, and one that embraces and promotes liberty and Freedom.
