Sorry, Government. Our liberty isn't for sale
We must begin to demand accountability from governors and mayors alike and stand up for our constitutional rights and liberties.
| As the coronavirus continues to rattle the nation, millions of Americans have become consumed with fear of the potential impact the virus will have on the health of the country. Unfortunately, with such mass hysteria comes those who wish to exploit that fear by weaponizing the current crisis to amass Orwellian-style power that will endanger the lives of the American people. Politicians in government have slowly but surely begun to seize more power for themselves, violating basic constitutional rights and using the fear of the American people against them. In addition to the issuance of “stay-at-home” orders by state governments, we're also seeing our constitutional rights violated at local levels of government. Here's a list of some of the most draconian measures being used against the American people by government officials: * Mayor Muriel Bowser of Washington, D.C., is threatening residents with 90 days in jail and a $5,000 fine if they leave their homes during the current “stay-at-home” order. * Mayor Eric Garcetti of Los Angeles announced that the city will shut off water and electricity to nonessential businesses that refuse to close. * New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio threatened to permanently close down synagogues and churches that didn’t comply with his stay-at-home order. * Public officials in Manhattan have deployed flying drones telling citizens to social distance when out in public. * A man in Malibu, California, was arrested for paddle boarding alone in the ocean. * After ignoring local orders, a Florida pastor was arrested for holding crowded church services. * Mayors of cities like Boston and Daytona have put in place curfews for their citizens. If Americans don’t wake up and realize what’s happening, we will lose everything that makes this country great. We must demand accountability from governors and mayors alike and stand up for our constitutional rights and liberties. Just because we're in the middle of a pandemic, doesn't mean our constitutional rights are up for grabs. It's time to call a Convention of States and return to an era of self-governance. If we don’t, the end result will be catastrophic, as the country we once knew and loved will be nothing but a faded memory of the past.
