“Todos debemos analizar y romper las cadenas que nos atan mentalmente, para poder ser libres de los Demócratas políticos de Washington D.C. hasta que los que queden decidan cambiar el rumbo hacia el patriotismo y el bipartidismo en el 2028 celebrando elecciones presidenciales dignas.“

“Washington, D.C. Please Don’t Hurt Me: We are the People 2024″ is a compelling and vigorous examination of America’s current political and social landscape. Alila Barreras uses sharp commentary and personal anecdotes to reflect on issues like governance, corruption, and the resilience of American democracy. The book serves as a bold critique of the divisions and hypocrisy that dominate modern politics while calling for unity, awareness, and meaningful action among citizens.
Born in Camagüey, Cuba, Alila Barreras has lived a life marked by resilience and triumph. From enduring the challenges of a communist regime to escaping with her family during the Mariel boatlift, she built a new life in the United States. A computer science graduate and an avid writer, Barreras has authored multiple works on democracy, society, and human rights. Now residing in California, she is a cancer survivor, a proud mother, and a grandmother, continuing her mission to inspire change and spark dialogue through her writings.
“Washington, D.C. Please Don’t Hurt Me: We are the People 2024″ centers on the necessity of self-awareness and collective responsibility to safeguard democracy. Barreras argues that apathy and ignorance allow the political elite to erode the country’s foundational principles. Using poignant metaphors, she likens the current state of politics to a “plucked chicken,” referencing the famous Stalin anecdote, where citizens blindly follow even those who harm them. This vivid imagery underscores her call to vigilance and critical thinking.
Barreras also tackles the controversial issue of free expression, championing its importance in a democracy. She critiques the hypocrisy of political leaders who suppress dissent while exploiting their platforms for personal gain. By sharing her own experiences of standing against injustice, she inspires readers to embrace courage and truth as essential tools for societal change.
A significant portion of the book is dedicated to examining how racial, political, or ideological divisions are manipulated to weaken unity. Barreras emphasizes the importance of rejecting labels that divide and instead embracing the shared identity of being American. Through heartfelt stories and impassioned pleas, she encourages readers to take pride in their citizenship and to participate actively in shaping the nation’s future.
This book is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of modern governance or who wishes to engage more deeply with the pressing challenges of our time. With its stirring prose and unapologetic honesty, “Washington, D.C. Please Don’t Hurt Me: We are the People 2024″ serves as both a wake-up call and a guide for preserving the values of democracy and justice.

Spanish Description:
Dedico este libro: “Washington D.C., No me lastimes 2024. Somos el pueblo”, a todas las agencias gubernamentales. Especialmente a La Corte Suprema de nuestro país. Desde el 2016 al 2024 hemos sido testigos de eventos abusivos de persecución al ex presidente Donald J. Trump. Es vuestra responsabilidad devolvernos la Verdad, la Justicia y la Paz. Recuerden: cumpliendo con el sagrado deber de defender la Justicia y servirle “honestamente” al pueblo. Sin importar a que partido político pertenezcamos. Sin importar, que presidente y de que denominación los nombró al puesto. Dios Bendiga a nuestro país e ilumine a los miembros de nuestras instituciones recordando siempre que la “transparencia en las elecciones presidenciales” deben respetarse, y las disparidades deben consultarse con las leyes, como sucedió en el pasado con Gore y Bush, y las demás impugnaciones sucedidas en nuestro país. No con las palabras hoy comprometidas de los miembros de diferentes partidos políticos. Recordando siempre que “Solo la verdad nos pondrá la toga viril”. José de la Luz y Caballero.
