AMERICANISM – JULY 2026 by Jackie Joyce,Americanism Chair.
July 7. 1981: President Ronald Reagan nominated Arizona judge Sandra Day O'Connor to the U.S. Supreme Court, fulfilling his campaign promise to appoint the first female justice.
Sandra Day O'Connor (1930–2023) was an American jurist and politician who served as an Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court from 1981 until her retirement in 2006.
Confirmed unanimously by the Senate, Justice O'Connor was a pragmatic conservative whose case-by-case approach frequently positioned her in the ideological center. In closely contested 5-4 decisions, her vote was often the deciding factor.
Some of her decisions, today might be considered very controversial by the Republican Party VET BEFORE YOU VOTE
Have you voted?.............. If not, there is still time to VET the candidates. Just because they are on your Ballot does not mean they are able of even fit to do the job that particular position entails…. DO YOUR JOB AS A VOTER…. Vet the candidate, know who and why you are casting each and every vote… Don’t let a good talker or TV personality or Banner on the street corner make up your mind. If you are not sure ask for help from a like minded Republican, get information from well informed friends,
pros and cons.
Then you can KNOWINGLY CAST YOUR VOTE..
God Bless you all … and May God Bless and keep his wonderful experiment called AMERICA safe in his loving hands….🇺🇸
