and Silicon Valley traitors
to crucify this patriot.
Our veterans from the
few remaining WW2 and
Korea, as well as Vietnam,
Middle East, etc. will lose
their veteran benefits if
they refuse to allow this
dangerous mRNA cocktail
to be injected into their
body. This is a shameful
outrage. These men and
women fought to protect
our Republic from tyranny
and now our fraudulent
elected federal government
betrays them and the price
they paid for our liberty.
Hundreds of thousands of
Americans, the backbone
of our hospitals, schools,
industry, police, etc., highly
educated, trained, expe-
rienced and dedicated to
their profession, like Hep-
pner High School teacher
Jeannie Collins, will reject
the blackmail of unconsti-
tutional governor mandates
at a great personal and
heart rendering expense.
Our schools are funded
by local citizens, yet our
school board obeys un-
constitutional mandates
instead of our own Morrow
County citizens. We are a
government of the people,
not Communist type rulers.
What will it take to
cause Americans (school
boards and superintendents)
to take a stand to protect and
honor our liberty and God
ordained constitutionally
protected way of life? The
rest of the world is presently
under the control of this
global tyranny. They have
yielded their ability (arms)
and now have to no power
to stand against a despotic
government. Only Amer-
ica has the constitutional
protection of the Second
Amendment. I beseech my
American brethren: draw
a line in the sand because
our forefathers understood
the only protection from a
tyrannical government was
the right to keep and bear
arms.
The God of our fore-
fathers, by their obedience
and courage, gave us this
wonderful Republic. It is
our responsibility to keep it
and defend it from all ene-
mies, foreign and domestic.
