“I want you to choose: Big Government or freedom. My party wants lower taxes, smaller government, secure borders. The other party wants higher taxes, bigger government, and to let non-citizens vote. We think only citizens should vote, and that you should need ID. Democrats are wrong to oppose this. We believe taxpayer dollars should not pay for gender surgeries for immigrants.

Republicans want more freedom. Which do you choose?”
