There are moments in history when ordinary people decide they’ve had enough. When they stop waiting for someone else to fix it — and show up themselves. This is one of those moments for Rhode Island. The Rhode Island First Rally isn’t just an event. It’s a statement. It’s thousands of Rhode Islanders standing together and saying — we are not going to accept this anymore. Are you going to be in that room? Tell us you’re coming. Post on social media, tag us, and tag 5 friends who need to be there. We’ll draw winners for an exclusive Rhode Island First swag pack live at the rally. But the real reason to show up? Because your children and grandchildren will one day ask where you were when Rhode Island started fighting back. Have your answer ready. 🇺🇸 #RhodeIslandFirst #VicMellorForRI #RI02

Facebook post by Joshua Daniel Pratt (sent to me), campaign manager for Vic Flynn: A PROPHETIC CALL TO REPENTANCE FOR RHODE ISLAND To those who would stand on the side of truth, justice, and victory—hear this word. After breaking bread with the Republican Party of Rhode Island, I did not leave encouraged—I left grieved in spirit. For it has been revealed plainly: You do not strive for victory—you contend for second place. Yes, I say it again without hesitation— There is a spirit among you that loves defeat. You war not against the darkness that overtakes this state, but against one another— Not to win, but to ensure you lose to those who are actively dismantling righteousness, freedom, and prosperity. And yet, a voice cried out in that room. I honor the bold rebuke delivered by Minority Leader Michael Chippendale, who spoke truth against the sloth, the complacency, and the failure to raise up worthy candidates to stand against the rising tide of progressive socialism that is eroding Rhode Island. There is courage there. There is clarity there. And I stand in full agreement with Chippendale and Dave Levesque of the League of Rhode Island Businesses— That the system must be disrupted, reformed, and, if necessary, broken apart to be rebuilt in truth— Even if it means abandoning party labels to advance righteous leadership where Republicans have surrendered the field. But hear this indictment: Two sins stand exposed among you: First—Ignorance of Purpose. You claim to stand for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, yet reject the very strategies required to secure them. You idolize party identity over principle. This is not wisdom—it is foolishness. It is immaturity. It is the root of your perpetual defeat. Second—Sabotage of the Righteous. It is evident—clear as day—that obstacles have been deliberately placed in the path of this campaign. Not by the opposition alone—but from within your own ranks. Why? Because some among you would rather preserve your position in a losing system than risk victory that disrupts your control. Shame on you. While the people suffer, while families are burdened, while businesses struggle under the weight of failed leadership— You bicker. You posture. You undermine. You target Vic—the one man positioned to defeat Seth Magaziner—not because he is weak, but because he threatens your comfort. You criticize. You distort. You divide. For what? To feel important? To appear righteous? To secure your place in yet another cycle of defeat? This is not leadership. This is sin. You have become more concerned with titles than truth, More loyal to feelings than facts, More driven by recognition than by results for the people you claim to serve. And so I say this plainly: Repent. Turn from this path of division, pride, and self-preservation. Return to courage. Return to clarity. Return to the mission. Because the battle before us is not merely against the left— It is against a spirit of defeat that has taken root within the right. You stand in a circle, firing at one another— While the enemy advances unchallenged. This cannot continue. May God have mercy on the Rhode Island Republican Party— And may He raise up those who will stand for truth, unity, and victory. All For Victor(y), Joshua Daniel #Vote4Vic #IPickVic #RhodeIslandFirst #Freedom

Rhode Islanders are paying some of the highest electricity prices in the country. That didn’t happen by accident. It happened because of political decisions. A natural gas pipeline that could have brought affordable American energy from Pennsylvania into New England was blocked. That pipeline would have lowered electricity prices and created jobs across our region. Instead, politicians chose ideology over common sense. They pushed a climate agenda that restricts reliable energy while families and businesses get crushed by higher utility bills. Working families shouldn’t have to choose between heating their homes and paying for groceries because of failed political experiments. In Congress, I will fight to unleash American energy, lower electricity costs, and stop the policies that are making Rhode Island poorer. Rhode Island First. — Vic Mellor #VicMellorForCongress #RhodeIslandFirst

Did you know that Rhode Island Democrats authorized a supervised drug injection site? In Providence, people can bring illegal drugs and inject them under medical supervision. Many Rhode Islanders have no idea this policy even exists. So when a drug dealer does it, he’s a criminal… but when the government does it, it’s compassion? When I’m in Congress, I’ll fight for policies that help people recover from addiction, not normalize it. Rhode Island First. — Vic Mellor #VicMellorForCongress #RhodeIslandFirst

Something big is happening in Rhode Island. Even @GenFlynn came to Warwick to support Vic Mellor and the growing Rhode Island First movement. @wpri12 covered the rally and the message was clear: Rhode Islanders are fed up. They’re tired of being ignored by career politicians and ready for leadership that actually fights for them. The room was packed with patriots who believe our state can do better. People who love Rhode Island and want a future where opportunity, jobs, and freedom come first. The momentum is real. Rhode Island First. #VicMellorForCongress #RhodeIslandFirst

UNREAL! Rhode Island politicians gave us “safe injection sites” and called it compassion. But enabling people to inject illegal drugs under government supervision does not break addiction. It traps people in it. Remember; every illegal immigrant paid cartels to cross the border. Those same cartels used many as drug mules and exploited the chaos to flood American streets with deadly drugs. Seth Magaziner helped make the cartels wealthy and powerful. Vic Mellor will secure the border, shut down the drug pipeline, and protect our kids. Rhode Island First.

Today, 17 countries pledged to join the Department of War with the moral mission of eradicating cartels and their enablers throughout the Western Hemisphere. SecWar @PeteHegseth is leading a once in a lifetime movement with military power to bring death to narco-terrorists.

Great night in Cranston meeting with Rhode Islanders who care deeply about the future of our state. I was grateful to join a meet and greet hosted and organized by Cranston voters at Ted’s Stadium Pub. We had great conversations, delicious food, and the opportunity to hear directly from people whose concerns have been ignored for far too long. Many shared their frustrations about the direction of our state, but also their hope that we can turn things around together. I was honored to hear that people are inspired by the courage, boldness, and fairness we are bringing to this campaign. Listening to Rhode Islanders will always come first. That is exactly why our mission is simple. Rhode Island First. — Vic Mellor #VicMellorForCongress #RhodeIslandFirst

AN ABSOLUTE WIN from the Supreme Court in the name of #ParentalRights As Congressman I will encourage policies that reflect this - education policies that empower parents and ensure public education is managed responsibly with NO INDOCTRINATION. #VicMellorForCongress #RhodeIslandFirst
BREAKING: The U.S. Supreme Court just ruled in a 6–3 decision that California's school policy keeping secrets from parents about their children's gender transitions is unconstitutional.

For the first time in history, under @RFKJr_Official leadership at HHS, the federal government will define ultra processed foods and require clear labeling on the front of packages so Americans can see exactly what they are buying. For decades, families have been navigating grocery stores without real transparency while chronic disease and healthcare costs skyrocketed. This is one of the reasons I helped found the Great American Health Alliance - @GreatAmerHealth GAHA is focused on lowering healthcare costs and giving Americans direct control over their own health spending. When people have honest information about what they are eating, they can make better decisions for themselves and their families. Health reform should empower Americans, not bury them in bureaucracy. Transparency, personal responsibility, and freedom of choice are the path to a healthier nation. That’s the American way. Thank you @SecKennedy for leading this conversation and pushing for greater transparency in our food system. Rhode Island First. — Vic Mellor #VicMellorForCongress #RhodeIslandFirst

A mother was murdered by an illegal immigrant with over 30 prior arrests. Thirty chances to stop him and the system failed. When dangerous individuals are allowed to reoffend again and again, innocent Americans pay the price. This is what soft-on-crime policies and weak enforcement create: preventable tragedies. As your next Congressman, I’ll fight for mandatory deportation of violent offenders, real border security, and an end to the policies that let criminals slip through the cracks. Rhode Island First. — Vic Mellor #VicMellorForCongress #RhodeIslandFirst
