Stop Holding Virginia Hostage
 

The steps that our Governor has taken during the pandemic are causing great harm economically, mentally, socially and psychologically to the people of Virginia.  The curve has been flattened, the virus has a 98% recovery rate and people need to able to get back to work.  Picking and choosing which businesses can reopen not only puts business owners and their employees at risk financially, it also goes against the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Waiting until three months into the pandemic to issue a mandatory mask order was senseless, had the masks been of value that should have happened the first week.   Let us not forget that the same governor who issued the mask order is the same man who went to Virginia Beach without a mask, took selfies with countless strangers and stood shoulder to shoulder with the masses.   If there really is any truth to the need for a mask, there's no way Northam as a leader and a medical professional would have put himself in such a situation.

If we aren't seeing a health crisis following the large amounts of people at protests across the state, I doubt seriously that a trip to the movies will be the death of us all.

Open Virginia now!
