A network of activists led by a handyman from Illinois is organizing simultaneous demonstrations in all 50 state capitals on May 1 to argue for ending governors’ stay-at-home orders and allowing people to go back to work.
Josh Ellis of Naperville, Illinois, who owns a business repairing water and mold damage, said America’s foundation is being weakened by government overreach during the coronavirus pandemic.
“We’re responsible for protecting our health,” Mr. Ellis told The Washington Times. “We believe in the severity of the disease, but at the same time, we don’t feel it’s government’s right to violate our constitutional rights.”
An Army veteran, Mr. Ellis is organizing marches on every state capital through an online network calling itself “American Revolution 2.0.” The group is signing up members on Facebook, with each state having its own page titled, for example, “AR2 Texas.”
The Texas chapter is led by Gabe Tufts, a former professional wrestler whose stage name was Tyler Reks.
“If you are ready and willing to take a stand against the police state that’s taking away your constitutional rights, join your state group,” Mr. Tufts said in a post. His Facebook page is filled with posts disputing the accuracy of the government’s and academia’s projections of coronavirus infection rates.

Must be emailing back and forth to our “unsure” governor on how to open the state. In reading history, the 1968 Hong Kong flu killed over 100K Americans. There were no pandemic panic closing down. People just went on their business.
No, it’s just that we have people dying here just from breathing the outdoor air.
Each state is different. That is why Trump is leaving it to the governors. We’re no more claustrophiliac than anyone else. It’s just that we understand in a very personal way the consequences of disregarding the recommendations.
That, and we tend to be smarter.
Yay. Let’s turn the tables all the way around.
I say we reclaim the rainbow, too.
Not dumber, just more and more collectivist, with disdain for liberty. They really would be happier with their like minded comrades at Democratic Underground.
“I swear to God FReepers get dumber every day”
Hmmm. Not sure if I’d put it that succinctly, BUT...
Seems to me, some of the brightest intellects don’t come around & post much anymore. Or maybe they’ve passed away.
At the same time, lately it seems like a few potheads, libertarians, & closeted liberals of various persuasions are growing bolder in their illogical, left-leaning arguments & snarky attacks on the true constitutional conservatives here.
Be well, FRiend.
Did you just say that isn’t true? I promise you it is. You stroll around on Broadway without your mask and you are asking for it.
Please don’t post things on here that could cause people to get sick and die. Anyone who reads what you just wrote and comes to NYC and walks around without a mask on Broadway and gets sick, his blood is right on your hands and nowhere else.
Don’t forget it again. Lives are at stake.
My blood is on *your* hands for my death— dying laughing here
The response to your #27 was priceless!
