πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ A FINAL WORD

I’m just a grateful American who loves this country and is concerned of what happens when good people stay home on election day. I’m not a politician. I’m not a pundit. I’m a guy who downloaded a sample ballot, sat down with some friends, did the research, and is sharing what we found.

You don’t have to take every single one of my suggestions. *But I’m asking you β€” print this or something like it, do your own homework if you disagree, and for the love of everything this country stands for β€” show up on May 19th.*

The primaries are where conservatives lose because we don’t show up. Don’t let that happen this time.

β”‚ πŸ“Œ *Conservative Voting Scorecards sourced from gascores.com (Freedom Caucus Scorecard)*

β”‚ πŸ“ŒThis is an independent voter guide created by a private citizen based on personal research and conservative values.

β”‚ πŸ“ŒPrint this. Share this. Vote on May 19, 2026.

πŸ–¨ Printed guides are welcome in the Georgia voting booth. Your phone is not. Plan accordingly.

Dean Burnette, Grateful USA Citizen πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
