Clever way to trace everyone’s associates and contacts. Try organizing a movement when every single person is traced and linked to another.
...and just about everyone has a phone that can be traced.
It would take some very good, out-of-the-box thinking to subvert this.
I see the “hire locals” mandate (minorities in democrat districts”) is firmly stamped.
It is astounding to see this kind of stuff...
I refuse to think this is even remotely required. Let the local levels deal with this. Feds and Federal Law isn’t needed.
Second, and this is where the brilliant minds of FR can help, is this door to door tracing a violation of ‘search and seizure?’
And in fact, isn’t this proposed law un-Constitutional and illegal?
Hopefully Nanzi Pelosi’s Waffen DNC will be able to find any of those Jews who dare to hide in attics or under the floorboards. /s
I’m using a cell phone Faraday Bag to stop my phone from being tracked in chosen locations. No signals in or out.

If laws allowing the killing of inconvenient babies is Constitutional, then this atrocity most certainly is too.
There is no good that will come of HR 666 6.
The Government is coming! The government is coming! Arm up and meet on the town green
Hell our government is so in with it, they added another 6 to it
Rep. Bobby Rush not only doesn’t know anything he doesn’t even suspect anything. His light bulb burns so dim that you’d have to turn the switch off to make it brighter.
ping ?
(1) $100,000,000,000 for fiscal year 2020; and
(2) such sums as may be necessary for each of fiscal year 2021 and any subsequent fiscal year during which the emergency period continues.
Holy ****.
That’s to setup the system and maintain contact tracing.
This is surveillance giftwrapped in a twelve-figure slush fund.
Yes it is.
The next question to ask though...what happens if you test positive?
It’s also convinced me to start paying cash more often and to leave the cellphone at home.
