Several Baraga County commissioners, plus the sheriff, prosecuting attorney, clerk, and treasurer of the Upper Peninsula county, have all signed a manifesto that places the state on notice that they will no longer enforce the state's COVID-19 mandates and restrictions.
The declaration reads: “Since March 10, 2020, the People of the State of Michigan have endured restrictions on their freedom which have not been seen in North America since the days of King George III and the American Revolution. In the face of a worldwide pandemic our political leadership in Lansing has ignored the protections guaranteed to all America citizens by the Bill of Rights in favor of the medical models designed to predict the course of a still, for the most part, unknown virus. The result has been the unilateral adoption of clearly unconstitutional measures which treat human beings like herd animals and which arbitrarily pick economic winners and losers. Our citizens’ rights to assemble, to freely practice their religion, to travel, to keep their property, businesses and jobs, even to dress as they please have all been swept aside, and to what end? The pandemic rages on and Lansing’s failed efforts to control the spread of the virus is blamed on the people themselves rather than the scientific community’s admitted lack of data and understanding of COVID-19.”
The manifesto continued: “Enough is enough. We have taken an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America, an oath we take very seriously. Accordingly, we hereby put the State of Michigan on NOTICE that we have no intention of participating in the unconstitutional destruction of our citizens’ economic security and Liberty. We further declare our intention to take no action whatsoever in furtherance of this terribly misguided agenda. Finally, we call upon the Michigan Legislature to exercise their co-equal authority by adopting constitutionally sound measures which limit the unchecked exercise of executive power, which restore individual responsibility and accountability, and which return Michigan to the ranks of freedom-loving governments everywhere.”
The Baraga County elected officials who signed the declaration include Sheriff Joe Brogan, Clerk Wendy Goodreau, Treasurer Jill Tollefson, Prosecuting Attorney Joseph O’Leary and Commissioners Gale Eilola, Dan Robillard, Will Wiggins, William Rolof and Lyle Olsen.
It’s a day trip up there from Lansing!
Probably a fleet of state troopers from Lansing on the way, eh?
I think that if Lansing knew how many of the small towns have coffee shops and restaurants that are not paying any attention to the rules they would be really upset.
There must be money everywhere.
This is an excellent reaction to our infamous situation. I hope we can copy this paper and finally get out from under the weight of so called “protection”.
That the government with CDC convivience is constructa false, non-scientific scene that includes everyone in the USA and all companies, all groups, all religions etc.
Without a tad of scientific evidence they have generated a virus history that is untrue. Far fewer people have died from Covid than from regular flu. Less than 1% of people who catch it have died. Yet no one except a few scientists and mathematicians have constructed the evidence so that everyone can read it and do as little “protection” or as much as they desire.
Fauci should be hung for his ‘scientific’ evidence. I do think he is responsible for much of what the American public has suffered. A despicable person he is.
Well praise YHVH (God)! Some reality is breaking back into the delusion.
Perfectly stated. I applaud their efforts and hope everyone follows suit. Enough is enough!
Excellent.
Hilltop restaurant - some of the biggest, best cinnamon rolls you’ll ever eat!
I am done with it all.
People need to understand that, that area, as well as the entire southern shore of the UP are some of the oldest established communities in North America.
My Wife’s grandparents and her mother were from Misery Bay.
Toivola..
She has cousins up round about there.
LOL!
They say everything is bigger in Texas. I dont think so.
Thank you upper Michigan!!
BTW, you’ll never get sweater strawberry’s than from that area. Matter of fact, the whole up has Strawberry farms and they are great.
Wild Blueberry’s-both high and low bush, Thimbleberry’s,
AND, the nicest hoard of the nastiest biting bugs you’ve ever seen. Real friendly.
They needn’t worry about retribution. Witch Gretchen can’t even find the UP on a map, much less know how to get there.
