Editor,
A short time ago, Trump told the Texas Republicans to cheat on the upcoming 2026 midterm elections. Trump knows that he must have the House controlled by the GOP so he can continue his corrupt and criminal activity destroying America piece by piece. The Texas Republicans obliged Trump and passed a state bid approving cheating for the 2026 midterm elections by gerrymandering five local voting districts to gain more GOP seats in Congress. No public vote. They are going to cheat.
Whereas, the California Democrats were asked to pass a state bill to approve gerrymandering five local voting districts to gain more Democrat seats in the House, as a counter measure to Texas’ action. But, in California, the citizens are being asked to vote and approve such a measure (Proposition 50). That is the difference between Texas and California.
Please don’t believe the commercials on TV and internet, or the flyers in the mail that are against Proposition 50. These are all paid for by Republican Trump-enablers who believe in Trump and the Republican Party first, and America and the American people last. Vote yes on Prop. 50. Thank you.

Yawn, snore… Thanks for, as Mr. van Ulden describes, your “inconsequent bashing” letter, Mr. Oberg, again attempting to irrationally rationalize the threat to democracy known as Prop. 50. But how can we believe you when you won’t accept the fact (even reported by the left wing press) that Obama put kids in cages and Pelosi, through her admitted dereliction of duty, failed to protect the Capitol from a so-called insurrection. If you aren’t willing to acknowledge those facts, what else are you willing to overlook to support Democrat talking point narratives? At least you now acknowledge the US Constitution protects individual liberties when in the past you didn’t. Don’t fall for the lies from those who want to destroy democracy. Vote NO on Prop. 50. Thank you.
The only threat to democracy right now is Trump.
Thanks for your flawed and unsupported opinion, Rscollins. We’ve gone over this numerous times. Everyone (even the ones who’d like to conveniently forget) knows there is a difference between Newsom’s threat to democracy and Texas’s redistricting. Texas lawmakers are pursuing new congressional maps following a directive from the DOJ asserting that current maps violate civil rights laws. There’s no such directive to California. But now that wannabe dictator Newsom started a redistricting war, Missouri finalized their efforts to replace a Democrat seat with a Republican one. I believe Indiana and Florida are pondering redistricting, also. We can only hope all red states will retaliate against Newsom’s threat to democracy.
Another page in the Trump bad, Democrats good, saga. Don't you ever get tired of your inconsequent bashing?
