"Resist.
They can’t arrest us all. They can’t keep all your kids home from school. They can’t keep every government building closed – although I’ve got a long list of ones they should.
We don’t have to accept the mandates, lockdowns, and harmful policies of the petty tyrants and feckless bureaucrats. We can simply say no, not again.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi — you will not arrest or stop me or anyone on my staff from doing our jobs. We have all either had COVID, had the vaccine, or been offered the vaccine. We will make our own health choices. We will not show you a passport, we will not wear a mask, we will not be forced into random screening and testing so you can continue your drunk with power rein over the Capitol.
President Biden — we will not accept your agencies’ mandates or your reported moves toward a lockdown. No one should follow the CDC’s anti-science mask mandates. And if you want to shutdown federal agencies again — some of which aren’t even back to work fully — I will stop every bill coming through the Senate with an amendment to cut their funding if they don’t come to work.
No more.
Local bureaucrats and union bosses — we will not allow you to do more harm to our children again this year. Children are not at any more risk from COVID than they are for the seasonal flu. Every adult who works in schools has either had the vaccine or had their chance to. There is no reason for mask mandates, part time schools, or any lockdown measures.
Children are falling behind in school, and are being harmed physically and psychologically by the tactics you have used to keep them from the classroom last year. We won’t allow it again.
If a school system attempts to keep the children from full-time, in-person school, I will hold up every bill with two amendments. One to defund them, and another to allow parents the choice of where the money goes for their child’s education.
Do I sound fed up to you? That’s because I am.
I’m not a career politician. I’ve practiced medicine for 33 years. I graduated from Duke Medical School, worked in emergency rooms, studied immunology and virology, and ultimately chose to become a surgeon.
I have been telling everyone for a year now that Dr. Anthony Fauci and other public health officials were NOT following science, and I’ve been proven right time and time again.
But I’m not the only one who is fed up. I can’t go anywhere these days — from work, to events, to airports and Ubers, restaurants and stores, without people coming up to me thanking me for standing up for them
For standing up for actual science. For standing up for freedom. For standing against mandates, lockdowns, and bureaucratic power grabs.
I think the tide has turned, and more and more people are willing to stand up. I see stories from across the country of parents standing up to teacher unions and school boards.
I see members of Congress refusing to comply with Petty Tyrant Pelosi.
We are at a moment of truth and a crossroads. Will we allow these people to use fear and propaganda to do further harm to our society, economy, and children?
Or will we stand together and say, absolutely not. Not this time. I choose freedom."
ransomnote: Like Rand Paul says, "Resist. They can't arrest us all."Since our country is steadily pursuing the path that leads to Communist prison camps, what have we got to lose if we all join "Walk Out Wednesday" this week? Peaceful resistance against becoming China's slaves.
Many sadly are not choosing freedom, they are abiding by the reinstated mask mandates in many places. So,far, around us, folks have not caved in, although I do see store clerks now wearing masks again, but so far they are not kicking people out who don’t wear them. We Wil. See if tha. Changes or not, but I notice a number of states like California and ilk imposing New mandates. NY I guess told gym owners, resteraunt owners etc they can’t allow people in without proof of vaccine? Unreal. Can’t beleive lawyers aren’t taking cases to court to argue violation of rights.
I am, at this moment in a doctor’s waiting room. I need to be here. They require a mask. The Elderly around me are terrified. How, exactly am I going to go maskless? I would further terrify the elderly and the doctor may refuse to see me.
I had to wear a mask in LabCorp this morning however, I was there to get a T Cell test. My results will be my passport and anybody who doesn’t like it will not be getting my business
Senator Paul is a real treasure. We sure are blessed to have him fighting for us in the putrid swamp known as Congress while most of his colleagues prioritize the next swanky cocktail party in DC over us.
The concept of a doctor having a waiting room is antiquated IMO. I’ve always hated waited for a GP appointment in a room full of sickness and germs.
At my veterinarian, you check-in, they give you a beeper and you wait in the car with your dog. Beeper goes off, and you enter directly into the treatment room.
“Senator Paul is a real treasure. “
An army of 1 in a cesspool of 100 called the United States Senate. Where are the other GOP defenders of liberty? Too busy enabling the trillions of wasteful spending in the infrastructure bill and budget bill to follow.
We need to stand with Senator Paul. Where the hell are the rest of the Republicans on the Hill?
The text of this needs to be forwarded to every Republican Congresscreep and Senator and demand whether they agree or not. A lack of response will be construed as a negative response. They need to know that those with negative responses will be challenged next election cycle.
I intend to do so today.
Last summer the lunatics at CDC were discussing plans to relocate Americans of any age with serious medical conditions to “safe” places or “green zones” where they would be isolated indefinitely from family and neighbors etc.
That’s millions of people they’re talking about.

Thanks. I’m printing it out, will hang on the wall.
[Reminder, for the knee jerk “I hate libertarians” posse, Rand is a Libertarian. As am I. And Cint Eastwood,Tom Selleck, Tucker Carlson, Thomas Sowell...]
Go Rand Paul! I wish more of our elected reps would speak out.
Obama just demonstrated that even he doesn’t believe the hype, and he’s over it. So are the rest of us.
Las Vegas is all in on masking. Casino security and workers are demanding it - and enjoying the power trip again. Until we evolve a society where those who think of themselves as powerless no longer derive enjoyment from acting as mini-fuhrers, expect calls for draconian mandates to be welcomed.
“An army of 1 in a cesspool of 100 called the United States Senate. Where are the other GOP defenders of liberty? Too busy enabling the trillions of wasteful spending in the infrastructure bill and budget bill to follow.”
It’s always like that. One or two Republican senators opposing something while the rest are nowhere to be seen. Same with the house Republicans.
Meanwhile, the Democrats in the senate and house protest issues with far greater numbers and intensity even though the Republicans and Democrats have the same number of senators and house members.
Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi are far more passionate and productive than Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy.
Nothing will change until the electorate forces it to change.
Does Anybody Think Any More?
If the lockdowns worked the first time, why are they talking about having another? On the other hand, if the lockdowns didn’t work the first time, why are they talking about having another?
