Houses of Worship: The letter states the county’s and the city’s order attempts to restrict essential services, including those provided by houses of worship.

Contact Tracing: The letter states that Austin’s order “only seems to recommend for these restaurants to track their employees and customers, it forces restaurants into submission by threatening to release the names of restaurants who do not comply.” It goes on to say the city’s “Orwellian order raises privacy concerns and s also likely superseded by the governor’s order.”

Masks: The letter states that the order issued in Austin says “all person over the age of six shall wear some form of mask when leaving their residence.” The state order encourages people to wear face coverings but does not require them. “The Governor’s order recognizes that Texans will act responsibly and make smart decision to protect themselves and their families.”

Thank God for AG Paxton, he telling the fascists of Dallas(Clay Jenkins), Austin, and San Antonio where they can stick it.

I think people ought to wear masks......from the Halloween store. Maybe Obama masks, Hillary masks since it’s Austin

[SmokingJoe]

Thank God for sanity. President Trump needs to lead this fightback against tyranny and dictatorship from Democrat Party Stalinists.

Austin is/has become the SF of Texas?

I think people should wear Trump masks. Watch liberals heads explode.

Austin is/has become the SF of Texas?

Austin has been that way for quite a while but unfortunately the trend is not good (Presidential Election 2016 left, 2012 right).

All should write TRUMP 2020 on their masks in bold marker.

The residents of each have probably each gobbled as much LSD in their lifetimes.

Democrats are evil scum.

[Jewbacca]

A long time ago.

Who will defend the citizens of Texas or any other state when the Democrats regain control of the major offices?

Look what happened in 2008-2010 when the rats controlled all three of the branches. We are lucky now, but the tides can and will turn.

The Demagogic Party sucks.

They’re proud of Austin’s motto;

Rush just asked a great question:

“If the President were a Democrat, would Democrat-run states be shut down?”
.

[McGavin999]

That would be hysterical

[trebb]

They should get some Clayton Moore masks...Hi-Yo Silver! Away!

[Texas resident]

If the President were a Democrat it would be Hillary.

Let your imagination go from there.
