ELECTION FATIGUE? READY TO GIVE UP? You're not alone. I feel it too. But our forefathers and parents didn't give up when the odds seemed overwhelming. We must sprint through the finish line, not just for ourselves, but for our children and grandchildren. Now it's our turn. FAITHFUL PEOPLE DON'T GIVE UP!

I support the Iranian people’s right to freedom and dignity after nearly 50 years under the Islamic Republic. We must distinguish between the Iranian people and the regime that rules them. At the same time, the Strait of Hormuz carries roughly a quarter of the world’s seaborne oil, plus fuel and fertilizer. When that waterway is threatened, American families pay the price in higher energy and food costs. Allowing any government to hold vital shipping lanes hostage—especially one pursuing nuclear capability—sets a dangerous precedent for the entire world. We can debate the costs and methods of U.S. policy while still recognizing that these threats cannot simply be ignored. Secretary Rubio addressed the economic and security stakes directly.

Before We Vote for California's Next Governor, Let's Examine the Record On September 30, 2021, Senator Rand Paul questioned Xavier Becerra, then Secretary of Health and Human Services, during a Senate hearing on COVID-19 policy. I encourage my California friends to watch this exchange as we consider our choices for governor on November 3. Senator Paul challenged Becerra about scientific studies concerning naturally acquired immunity, vaccine mandates, and the right of individuals to make informed medical decisions. Becerra responded that his department relied on medical and scientific experts and was working to prevent COVID-19 deaths. The exchange raises questions worth considering about how public officials evaluate evidence, exercise authority, and respond to disagreement. Campaign promises matter. But so does a candidate's actual record in public office. For me, character, judgment, humility, and accountability are essential qualities of leadership. We should examine how those seeking our votes have demonstrated these qualities when entrusted with public responsibility. This is one exchange, not a complete assessment of Becerra's record. I encourage you to watch it, consider the circumstances, and draw your own conclusions. Watch the 6 min exchange here: youtube.com/watch?v=MI_Dm3pj…

Two convincing YouTube “hearings” seemed to expose corruption. I checked. Neither confrontation could be authenticated. My Voter Discernment Series, Part 5, “Too Good to Question,” explores why we must question stories that confirm our beliefs. Read more: facebook.com/michael.maxsent…

California poll workers CANNOT ask for voter ID except in limited cases. I experienced this firsthand. Trustworthy elections need: - Accurate, verified voter rolls. - Voter ID: YES on Prop 39. - Transparent ballot handling, secure equipment, independently auditable counts.

Remove ALL liability shields from the use or development of AI. Let humanity harness this technology to share the yoke of work so that WE can use our creative talents to create a more beautiful and just world that our hearts know is possible.

There are data bases available to the Secretary of State's office that can, with a high degree of certainty, determine who has citizenship. Our CA Secretary of State consistently chooses to NOT access these.

Election integrity is like a three-legged stool. All three legs must be secure if we are to restore public confidence. First, voter ID. That’s why we’re working to pass Proposition 39, to verify the identity of the person casting the ballot. Second, voter registration integrity. That’s exactly what my Trustworthy Verification Pilot is addressing: independently verifying the accuracy of voter rolls and the eligibility of those registered, including citizenship, through a transparent, evidence-based process. Third, voting systems. We must ensure our voting machines, ballot processing, and vote tabulation are secure, accurate, and independently auditable. Securing one leg while neglecting the others won’t restore trust. We need all three, with safeguards that protect every eligible citizen’s right to vote. Trustworthy elections require trustworthy verification.

What if the person you disagree with isn’t your enemy? Today’s Rick Warren devotional reminds us: “You’re never persuasive when you’re abrasive.” We all have blind spots, including me. Empathy isn’t agreement. Understanding isn’t surrender. Before judging, try three words: “Tell me more.”

IF RUBY'S CAN ASK FOR PHOTO ID, WHY CAN'T WE VERIFY ID WHEN WE VOTE? Even picking up a hamburger can require photo ID. California's Prop 39 raises a simple question: Can't we protect every eligible citizen's right to vote AND the integrity of every legitimate vote? Why not both? Worth a conversation? Repost and share your thoughts.
