Hello, my fellow citizens. I’ve been a supporter of RFK Jr. because of his focus on family and health. Unfortunately, because of petty politics, RFK Jr. was forced to suspend his campaign. Jill Stein was even a target in this attempt to silence us voters. Thankfully, their plan didn’t work. His message now continues through Trump and Vance. Today, I want to explain why a vote for Trump is more than just supporting him — it’s about embracing RFK Jr.’s commitment to family values, child health and a better future for all of us.

Let’s start with something JD Vance said about child care costs. He suggested the idea that families should help one another when possible rather than relying on government intervention. This simple idea highlights why multi-generational homes are essential for saving America. When families live together, they share resources, becoming financially stronger and more prepared to withstand economic downturns. Even better, by reducing housing and food costs, families have the ability to spend more on American-made goods, supporting our economy and creating good-paying jobs here at home.

This approach is the opposite of what Kamala Harris and the Democrats propose. They push for more government programs, which increases national debt and interferes in our lives. Instead of empowering families and communities, they want us dependent on government handouts. This is not how we build a stronger America.

Multi-generational homes reduce the need for government programs like child care, elderly care and welfare. Families take care of their own, passing on strong values, responsibility and self-reliance. That’s the conservative vision — less dependence on government and more control for families and communities.

We also need to address the housing shortage. The Democrats talk about building more housing, but they’re missing the point. Multi-generational living reduces the number of homes needed, cuts energy use and protects the environment — all while putting Americans first. It also helps us support immigration responsibly without expanding government control.

Let’s not forget our children’s health. Many parents struggle to put food on the table, and highly processed foods become the only option. In a multi-generational home, families work together to ensure children get healthy, home-cooked meals. This leads to better physical and mental health for our kids — something big government programs can’t fix.

Kamala Harris and the Democrats may think more government is the answer, but it’s not. Families and communities are the key to solving our nation’s problems. RFK Jr. understood this, and Trump’s platform continues that vision. It’s about rebuilding America from within, starting with the family — the core of our strength.

In conclusion, multi-generational living is more than just a housing solution. It reduces government interference, keeps families strong, and supports economic recovery. It’s time to move away from big government programs that increase our national debt and instead focus on solutions that empower families and communities. This November, vote for Trump and for a future where families come first, local communities are empowered, and we control our own destiny. Together, we can build a brighter future for all Americans.
