official texas gov website ^ | OCT. 11, 2021 | Governor Abbott

Posted on 10/11/2021 4:24:53 PM PDT by Mount Athos

Governor Greg Abbott today issued an executive order stating that no entity in Texas can compel receipt of a COVID-19 vaccination by any individual, including an employee or consumer, who objects to such vaccination for any reason of personal conscience, based on a religious belief, or for medical reasons, including prior recovery from COVID-19. Governor Abbott also sent a message to the the Chief Clerk of the House and Secretary of the Senate adding this issue as an item to the Third Special Session agenda. The executive order will be rescinded upon the passage of such legislation.

"The COVID-19 vaccine is safe, effective, and our best defense against the virus, but should remain voluntary and never forced," said Governor Abbott.

A press conference by a doddering old man who shits his pants demanding vaccine mandates - is not law. No one has filed suit against Ol Creepy and his pretend mandates because there is no there, there. There’s nothing. Only bootlicking corporations like Southwest Air and American Airlines have it because they wanted to beat the rush to get their heads up Biden’s ass because he’s holding their tax exemptions and bailout money. Piss on them

“Do we like Abbott today?”

He’s doing nothing about the border invasion. This new EO is useless as long as the infested illegals are storming the gates.

Biden says it...then Corporate America takes it from there......California style. And it’s always the same ones who do it first....leftist companies willing to do Biden’s bidding.

May well just give a few Airlines an excuse to avoid committing suicide with their idiotic mandates that are resulting in employee walkouts. This is just the sort of cover management would need to walk back these edicts.

Right. Take the NFL for another example. How much money would the team owners lose if the Biden cabal slowly started removing their tax exemptions? Airlines? Hospitals with government backed Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements? They’re NOT private hospitals- the fed could strangle them into bankruptcy if they don’t comply.

Well I’m not completely convinced they voluntarily do it without pressure from Bidens office.....they play with fists if you don’t go along.

I like Abbott and will probably vote for him but I wish he wouldn’t say “the vaccine is safe”. THOUSANDS of doctors don’t think it is and millions of ordinary Americans don’t think it is.

Great job by the Texas Governor, and thanks for posting his response.

One Month After Biden Announced his Federal Vaccine Mandate, It Still Has Not Been Formally Issued!

Trending Politics ^ | October 10, 202 | Kyle Becker

One month after the Biden administration announced a draconian federal vaccine mandate that impacted an estimated 100 million Americans and led to mass firings of public servants, teachers, and medical workers, the federal regulation still has not been formally issued.

The Federalist reported . . in a post on Thursday that noted, “Joe Biden’s Vaccine Mandate Doesn’t Exist. It’s Just A Press Release”:

Biden’s so-called vaccine mandate doesn’t exist — at least, not yet. So far, all we have is his press conference. No such rule even claiming to be legally binding has been issued yet.

That’s why nearly two dozen Republican attorneys general who have publicly voiced their opposition to the clearly unconstitutional and illegal mandate haven’t yet filed suit against it, the Office of the Indiana Attorney General confirmed for me. There is no mandate to haul into court. And that may be part of the plan.

According to several sources, so far it appears no such mandate has been sent to the White House’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs yet for approval. The White House, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the Department of Labor haven’t released any official guidance for the alleged mandate. There is no executive order. There’s nothing but press statements.

Despite what you may have been . . . led to believe by the media, . . . press statements have exactly zero legal authority.

“There is nothing there yet that gives employers any mandate,” Stephanie McFarland, spokeswoman for the Indiana Occupational Safety and Health Administration, told The Federalist’s Joy Pullman on Oct. 6. “The president made an announcement on this asking OSHA to do it, but we’ve not yet seen anything come from it yet,”. When the state agency gets any further information, she said, they’ll review it.”

Abbott has Texas National Guard and DPS at the Border arresting illegals. You can’t say he hasn’t done anything. Could he do more? Sure, but it’s not like he’s done nothing. He authorized TNG to arrest illegals and is opening more jail beds to put them in.He’s also allocated $3B for border security including building a wall.

And all will thank him later when the liability law suits begin.

He’s keeping them from destroying themselves now and being destroyed later.

Many will be made to pay for the vaxx damage and deaths and today’s vaxx mandators will be first choice among prime targets in that food chain.

>>It will take the American Stasi 10 minutes to find an Osama Obama appointee to overturn this.<<

Gov. Abbott has an Ace in the hole. The Supreme Court handed Biden administration a defeat and reinstated Trump negotiated “Remain in Mexico” policy.

Biden administration is blatantly ignoring a Supreme Court order. Furthermore, they are breaking the law by ignoring federal immigration and border enforcement laws on the books.

Abbott should simply ignore a political hack judge. What are they going to do? Arrest Gov. Abbott? That I’d like to see with a few hundred Texas Rangers and big ol grain fed Texas DPS officers standing around. lol
