I am looking forward to hearing you speak, Adam. I respect your opinions as a person, not for your party affiliation. Thank you!

Adam… I would say you agreed because you are a good person with a great deal of intelligence who clearly understands what has happened to your party and still has much to give to his country. Joining in support of the Democrats shows power and smarts that it will take a broad based team to rid our country of the corruption and authoritarianism being preached by TFG and MAGA… and trust me, the Dems are thrilled to have you on board and I for one can’t wait to hear what you have to say!!! Expect a lot of Joy and Hope from the audience… it’s what we are breathing in and giving out at this moment !!!

I can’t wait to see you speak! I don’t agree w/you on everything but then again, I didn’t agree w/President Obama on everything and he was the candidate for who I switched parties.

Everything you said about the Republican Party being hijacked is how I felt going into the 2008 election at the time. Not Senator McCain as much as those who were already in the House.

Thank you so much for speaking out for our democracy and I have a feeling you will be very welcome by the convention attendees!!

Peace and safety to you and your family Sir!

That’s the truth.

Good point. We will probably not agree on everything with our candidate, nor should we as the issues we face are very complex. But the relative minutiae of policy vs. the preservation of our system, the sanctity of our Constitution, and the rule of law are what Adam is referring to.

Country first, last, and always. Policy and philosophy are of no use if our system is dismantled.

Fantastic! You have the courage and conviction I wish other like-minded Republicans would embrace publicly. I truly believe that your speech on Thursday will make a difference with Republicans who might be on the fence and undecided or Independent voters!

I’m not sure I have the words to describe how much I admire you. My Dad was Republican district leader in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn for many years. He loved it. When I became a registered Democrat, he put his hand to his heart in mock despair, rolled his eyes heavenward, and asked “Where did I go wrong?” I adored him. We had a lot of a lot of fun debating and kidding each other. If he were alive today, he would not recognize his own party. In fact, I think his heart would be kind of broken. Thank you for standing up for people like my Dad.

Your dad sounded like a GREAT man and I agree that he would be heartbroken.

My mom a republican, my dad a democrat; never would have known it. It really is OK to live under the same roof and get along as such. I want those days back. Thank you Adam. Wishing you all the best this Thursday. Sending good vibrations from an Independent Granite stater.

Proud to be a supporter of you and Country First.

I still believe we can be a political organization with the power to find and elect leaders who truely put country ahead of ambition. Continue to act as an example of the vision you want for your family and all Americans.

Thank you Adam Kinzinger. I too hope that we as Americans can agree on basic tenets of democracy- such as a peaceful transfer of power after a fair and free election!

I think this is a great move Adam. Makes me happy. It really underscores the need to set aside our ‘labels’ and do what is right for EVERYone in our country! Yes!!!
