Newsletter #27:
"What Do These Words Even Mean?"

DATE: October 11, 2024


Friend —


Democracy? Freedom? Choice?


When I see these words displayed on Democratic yard signs, I can’t help but wonder what they really mean.



To quote one of my family’s favorite movies, “The Princess Bride”:


“You keep using that word.
I do not think it means what you think it means.”


That’s why, in front of a largely Democrat audience at the League of Women Voters Candidate Forum, I challenged this narrative hypocrisy — warning about the dangers of falling to emotionally-driven political deceptions.


It can happen to any of us. It happened to me.

I shared my story of being duped sixteen years ago, as a student in my 20s, when I pulled a Democrat ballot.

Of course, I learned from my mistake when I saw the Democrats, during the Obama Presidency, continue all the policies they had spoken against — including forever wars and the erosion of our civil liberties.


I quickly saw through the lies and that’s why I became a proud America First Republican.

And because I discovered the truth, I maintain hope that — through frank and honest conversations — our Democrat neighbors might someday see it as well.

At the Geauga County League of Women Voters Candidate Forum, Carolyn warns against the power of political deception to a largely hostile, left-leaning audience.

Now that we are in the final sprint to Election Day, there is no time to waste meeting and hearing from the voters.


That’s why we have two events coming up next week — and I hope you can join us for food, refreshments, and an opportunity to share your thoughts on the issues that matter most.


Monday and Thursday next week, please join me for events with Rep. Steve Demetriou in Bainbridge and Rep. Sarah Arthur Fowler in Claridon.


To RSVP, send me an email: Carolyn@CarolynBrakey.com.

Join Carolyn with Ohio Representatives Steve Demetriou and Sarah Fowler Arthur at meet-and-greet events on Monday and Thursday, next week.

Did you know that early voting has already begun?


With assassination attempts, palace coups, and raging hurricanes, who knows what could happen between now and Election Day, November 5th, to stop you from voting?


That’s why many people are voting early to make sure their voices are heard — and that includes me (see video below).


You can also vote early at the Geauga County Board of Elections located at 470 Center St, Building 6A, Chardon, OH 44024.

Carolyn casts her ballot on the first day of early voting.

With early voting taking place and Election Day only four weeks away, my Democrat opponent is running ads in both the Maple Leaf and Geauga Times Courier.


For our freedoms, our paychecks, and our families, we cannot afford to fall behind!


That’s why I need you support — and there are three ways you can help right now:


Thank you for all your support. Let’s win.


For Liberty!
Carolyn Brakey

Republican Nominee,
Geauga County Commissioner





P.S. Early voting has already begun in Geauga County — and I am taking every opportunity to speak with voters.


Next week, we are hosting two meet-and-greet events with Rep. Steve Demetriou in Bainbridge and Rep. Sarah Arthur Fowler in Claridon, on Monday and Thursday from 5pm - 7pm.

I hope to see you there — and I also hope you are making your plan to vote.
