HARRISBURG, Pa, (WHTM) – On Monday, April, 20th at noon thousands of citizens, led by ReOpen PA, End The Lockdown PA and Pennsylvanians Against Excessive Quarantine, will come together to peacefully protest against lockdown restrictions continuing beyond May 1.
Here is the statement made by the organizers:
“Government mandating sick people to stay home is called quarantine. However, the government mandating healthy citizens to stay home, forcing businesses and churches to close is called tyranny.,” says Pennsylvanians Against Excessive Quarantine. “Business owners are being forced to layoff employees while the unemployment system is failing those laid off as the economy free falls.
This is a recipe for disaster with many in our society helpless. We cannot stand by and watch our neighbors suffer while the government considers prolonging these painful conditions. The economy should be reopened on May 1 for healthy citizens continuing enhanced sanitation habits to prevent any virus from spreading. Those with compromised immune systems should not have to re-enter the economy or workforce if they do not feel comfortable.”
We will have endured nearly seven weeks of lockdown when May 1 arrives. It is not sustainable to continue this lockdown as the economic and societal consequences will be irreversible. Opioid deaths increase 3.6% for every 1% unemployment rises, as child abuse and domestic violence have spiked along with mental health ailments. It is time to roll back these restrictions on May 1.
Protests are beginning to emerge across the country as concerned citizens strive to return the economy to normal. These protests have been peaceful as will this event. We invite the media to cover our protest at the State Capitol Building.
ReOpen Pa, End The Lockdown PA and Pennsylvania Against Excessive Quarantine are organizations formed in the last 5 days with members exceeding 10,000. These groups are not affiliated with any political party, political action group, or any other organization.
“Protest seem to be sweeping the nation.”
It’s said conservatives and patriots don’t protest because they’re busy working, raising kids and maintaining households.
Now, a great many of them are off work, they’ve seen a lot of their kids, the chores are all caught up and they’re quite bored.
And, they are quite pissed off at the many inane and illogical restrictions of their liberties.
From the south...that would be all the river bridges over the Susquehanna!
I hear in TX that there are already a lot of “black market” businesses opening, speakeasy-like behind closed doors and drawn shades.
The peasants are revolting!
I got a bootleg haircut Monday. My barber’s got a chair set up at his house.
Big Al, Frank, and the rest of the 30s gangsters would be amused.
Funny those that want to keep America shutdown arent losing a paycheck. Like nothing ever happened to them on an endless vacation.

That was a rope-a-dope move. Now the libs are crying for the 10th amendment to be dusted off.
FWIW the president does have a lot of power via the commerce clause to order businesses back to work. He won’t. He won’t have to. These states will all be bankrupt in a month if they don’t ease these draconian restrictions.
Count on the media to “report” that Trump-supporting protesters are evil, while left wing protesters are always heroes.
Lucky you. I can hardly wait.
Wolf will veto...
A lot of the economy is going underground. My wife invited her hairdresser over for a “chat” just yesterday. She gave her a couple of pictures of some old presidents and after she left, my wife’s hair looked a lot better.
These people need to work. If they get used to working underground, they might just stay there when it is all over.
And if that happens Tommie Wolf doesn’t collect his sales tax or his state income tax.
In Texas the Governor has begun a rolling reopening.
