||| FROM HEDRICK SMITH, RECLAIM THE AMERICAN DREAM |||
The fate of our Democracy is on the ballot this fall. The crucial test is whether a Constitutional coalition of Democrats, independents and Liz Cheney Republicans can stop the Trump attempt to win major offices and take control of running future elections in battleground states.
The media treats the 2022 campaign as a rerun of the traditional Red vs Blue, mid-term election where the in-party takes a shellacking and loses control of Congress. But smart voters know the stakes this year are much higher.
That’s because the Trump faction – operating as a third force – has its own special agenda. Masquerading as the Republican Party, Trump candidates are running for high office in a dozen states, soft-pedaling their stealth strategy to capture control of the election machinery in swing states so they can lock in Trump’s return to the presidency in 2024.
One stumbling block for them is the Liz Cheney Republicans – the 20 million Republicans who reject Trump’s false claim of a stolen election in 2020. Defections by some of those Republican voters helped defeat Trump in 2020 and recently torpedoed a Trump candidate in Alaska last month.
So a coalition of Democrats, independents and Liz Cheney Republicans can muster a winning majority to stymy the Trump agenda and protect the fair U.S. elections in the future.

As I mentioned in an email, Rick, the moniker “Constitutional Coalition” has already been taken by many state organizations on the red end of the political spectrum.
As you take this wonderful idea to a wider audience, for example the New York Times Opinions page, I recommend you call the coalition something else like the “Democracy Coalition.” And yes, that’s unfortunately a bit too close to the Democratic Party, but they will inevitably make up the majority in this coalition..
