Tag: vote for unity

By Ricky Dana, Candidate for U.S. House – Missouri 4

“United we stand, divided we fall.” Our Founders weren’t just talking about fighting foreign threats. They meant it right here at home—across party lines. That’s how America grew into the strongest democracy in the world. But today, we are dangerously divided, and it’s tearing us apart.

It didn’t used to be this way. Democrats and Republicans used to work together to solve big problems. They passed civil rights laws. Built highways. Protected farmers. Raised wages. Balanced budgets. That cooperation led to decades of growth, innovation, and strength.

Now, Congress is packed with career politicians who won’t even talk to someone from the other party unless it’s about money or power. They vote based on who donates the most—not what their communities need. This isn’t public service—it’s auctioning off our future.

This isn’t just wrong. It’s dangerous.

Democracy only works when we work together. When we listen. When we compromise. If we keep electing leaders who refuse to meet in the middle, the American experiment will fail. And it will fail soon.

That’s why I’m asking you to commit right now:

Only vote for candidates who will work across the aisle. That’s it. Ask them. Demand it. If they won’t do it—don’t vote for them.

I’m not afraid to work with anyone—Republican, Democrat, or Independent—if it means doing right by the folks here in Missouri’s 4th District. My loyalty is to our families, our farms, our schools, and our future—not to any party or donor.

We need common-sense leaders who put people over politics. Leaders who show up. Who fight for you. And who know that unity is the only path forward. This campaign isn’t about blue or red—it’s about right and wrong. It’s about saving our democracy while we still can.

Let’s bring back real leadership. Let’s return to bipartisanship. And let’s prove that America can still lead—not because we shout the loudest, but because we work the hardest, together.
