I think it’s fair to say that too many people trust their government. BOTH parties have harmed us with their reaction to Covid. I often remind people that there are VERY bad things going on in government and am constantly surprised to see how unaware people are of what their “representatives” are doing. Look below, here is proposed rulemaking (NOT LAW) rule making that would make MANDATORY mass vaccinations should a governor so deem it necessary…Needless to say I believe “My body my choice” applies here or does the government truly own us? Rights come from our Creator NOT Man. See the actual proposed rules below.
