America is still the greatest nation on earth. A big part of the reason for that is her hard-working, industrious people. America was built upon the understanding that our right to support our families through work, to engage in trade and reap the rewards of our labors is a fundamental, God-given right.
Right now, all across the country, that fundamental right is under attack. While most of our governing officials surely mean well, they are weakening the backbone of America with overly-broad edicts that have unnecessarily shut down business and industry, and are causing irreversible damage to countless families and their livelihoods. While government officials remain safely employed and well taken care of, the American public at large is suffering, and it’s time for officials to get out of our way so that we may provide for ourselves. Yes, we all need to use common sense and take precautions in the midst of the pandemic. But heavy-handed government orders that interfere with our most basic liberties are certain to do more harm than good to the American people.
We are a nation of self-governing people, and it is crucial right now for us to remind our elected officials of that fact. Again, it is time for them to get out of the way, and let hard-working Americans rebuild America. We are past the point of a rational shutdown of our economy. They must step aside, remove the burdens on commerce, trust the American people, and let us get back to work...immediately.
We are a nation of self-governing people, so it's up to us to tell our elected officials--even at the highest levels of government--what we expect of them. Please take a few moments right now to sign our petition to President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence. Let's ask them to use their power and influence to re-open America for business.
