Stacey Dash launches political movement
Actress Stacey Dash has launched her own political movement after growing increasingly frustrated with the state of politics in the U.S.
The Clueless star and outspoken Republican hasn't been afraid to voice her opinions on hot topics such as race, equal pay, climate change, and transgender rights in recent months, and now she's putting all her convictions into her own political movement, Dash America.
On Sunday (26Jun16), Stacey took to her website to announce her new
project, telling supporters she's so fed up with the people running
the country that she has decided to spearhead a party of her
own.
"Political elites have divided our country and seek to pit us
against each other," she wrote. "Liberals sell us cheap fictional
freedoms, while stripping away our true God-given freedoms and
liberty. Women are told empowerment means being a victim and are
coerced into subscribing to the paltry progressives’ definition of
feminism. Minorities are told that the only way we can make it out
of poverty is to accept handouts. But I don’t buy into any of these
lies.
"And that is why I have launched my new website and movement - Dash
America. I believe that instead of allowing others to divide us and
hold us down, we must empower one another to rise up and unite for
the sake of our great nation and the values that have made us the
strongest country in the world, a true beacon of freedom for all
people and all nations under God for centuries."
She insists Dash America will be "an exhilarating political
movement" focused on unity, faith, family values, and feminism,
adding, "I believe we need to cling to the motto and founding
principle of the United States - E Pluribus Unum: Out of Many, One.
We are a nation of many races and backgrounds, but we’ve forgotten
about unity. Let’s re-forge our unity through freedom, opportunity,
and education regardless of race."
She concludes her rallying cry with the line: "It’s never too soon,
and never too late to embrace the best traditions and the best
chance for future. Will you join me?"
