Want to receive the Moderna, Pfizer, or J & J vaccine? Republicans believe that you should have the right to receive the vaccine, and you should also have the right NOT to receive the vaccine if you so choose.. Additionally, you should not be discriminated against regardless of whether you are vaccinated or not. Masks are optional for Republicans as well. If you want your children to wear masks to school or if you want to wear masks to go to the grocery/restaurant/meetings, then please feel free to do so. The point at which this crosses from personal freedom to politics is when the government overreaches and mandates masks, vaccines, and reduction of pay which discriminates against those who have not received the vaccine.
Pima County Board of Supervisors Masking Kids and mandating vaccines?? While the Pima County Board of Supervisors voted 3-2 to not mandate masks in our schools, BOS 2 (Matt Heinz) has put a resolution on the agenda for August 16 to mandate masks in schools. Let’s see if he throws another temper tantrum when he doesn’t get his way; a leadership style generally reserved for those most ill-prepared to lead. Is the goal to keep voting until you get the result you want? The City of Tucson voted 6-1 to mandate city workers to receive the vaccine with three of the city labor unions against the mandate. Thank you Ward 4 Councilmember Nikki Lee for standing for freedom. All of this is taking place against the backdrop of the Arizona Legislature writing into law that none of these actions can be taken. No masks; no vaccine passports; no mandate on vaccines—no breaking the law!
Masks for thee, but not for me! Democrats have never been the party that follows the rule of law and so there is nothing that will get them to start now. Obama, Tlaib and Pelosi lead the way in the new “masks for thee, but not for me” movement the democrats are leading nationally; stayed tuned to see our local officials violate their own laws as well. While the power grab takes place in Tucson and Pima County, we are also suffering from the first 6 months of Biden’s presidency with prices exceeding wage growth every month, wiping out pay raises and making the money Americans earn worth less.
Biden’s America · Everywhere Americans go, prices are up:
- Used cars and trucks prices are up nearly 42% over the past year, bad news that comes after last month’s record-setting increase.
- The cost to eat out at restaurants saw its largest monthly increase since 1981. (And they will get higher—see below)
· Grocery shopping is more expensive, with Americans and especially our seniors, seeing higher prices year-over-year for many kitchen staples:
- Eggs are up 5.7%
- Milk is up 6.2%
- Fruit is up 5.2%
- Fish is up 8.5%
- Chicken is up 5.2%
· Rent prices, which have grown 9.2% nationally since the beginning of 2021, are set to continue ticking up as the “tremendous amount of stimulus…has potential to create upward pressure on rent prices.”
Where do You stand? For our Party Not Declared (PND) constituents out there–it’s time to pick a team. To our Independents– you will have a vote, but not representation. Republicans, here’s what we are facing…voter integrity (that is NOT over), redistricting, precinct realignment, Bidenflation, mask mandates, vaccine mandates, vaccines passports, water issues (City of Tucson v. Pima County), Critical Race Theory (CRT) in our schools, social/emotional teaching/counseling in our schools, county government overreach into our schools, expanding county bureaucracy with contact tracing and medical management of citizens, overrides in spite of the millions of dollars flowing into our schools, $15/hour minimum wage initiative, and California unions trying to unionize employees of our Tucson restaurants. And the most important of all, VOTER REGISTRATION and PRECINCT COMMITTEEMEN appointments. Generally, I end with saying “please join me” but today…I need you to get in the game and make a difference.
