CULTURALLY

The Left’s assault on RI families is decades old. The great American “pursuit of happiness” begins with a safe, prosperous, and optimistic family environment … yet Ocean State lawmakers have continually undermined these pillars of happiness.
  • Stand Up For Marriage: Promoting and glorifying “fatherlessness”, while paying single women to have more children … leads to increased levels of poverty, crime, school drop-outs, drug use, and incarceration for our children. Men and women who stay married accumulate much greater wealth and live far more meaningful lives than those who don’t marry. (from the book Get Married, 2024, by Brad Wilcox)
    • Eliminate the Marriage Penalty: Income eligibility guidelines for receiving government assistance continually punishes couples, financially, if the were to marry. POLICY SOLUTION: MARRIAGE SHOULD BE POSITIVELY INCENTIVIZED.
    • A 2024 Gallup survey found that married adults consistently rate their lives far more highly as “thriving” as compared with others.
  • Acceptance of a drug culture, including the legalization of marijuana; Oregon has recently rescinded its 2-year old drug legalization policies and will now re-criminalize drug possession after disastrous increases in deaths
  • Mask & vaccine mandates during the pandemic that infringed on constitutional rights and cost many family members their jobs. Who wins and who loses?
  • The pressure to adopt DEI policies in government institutions, in public schools, and in corporations … has led to the loss of jobs and discrimination against family members who do not fully conform with woke philosophy or who do not check certain boxes.
  • Woke transgender policies – that defy medical and biologic realities – often inflict permanent emotional (and physical harm) to individuals confused about their gender
  • Abortion. A ‘death culture’ that glorifies abortion. It is the Left who holds the extreme and non-mainstream views on the killing of babies in the mother’s womb. 75% of Rhode Islanders believe in some restrictions on abortion.However, the Left believes in no restrictions and openly promotes: gruesome late-term and partial-birth procedures; taxpayer funding of the taking of a life; as well as NO parental notification or approval for minors seeking this life-ending procedure.
  • Leftists also have submitted legislation in RI to once again make prostitution legal … which would encourage child and human trafficking and exploitation
In a 2024 press release, the Clare Boothe Luce Center found in a survey, that “the beliefs and aspirations of young women (largely believed to be the most woke) often unify around conservative principles, particularly those centered on femininity and family values,” regardless of political affiliation.
The Left’s #AssaultOnTheRIFamily must end. And, if we all work together and take a principled stand, we are going to end it for them!
