Governor Kate Brown has successfully strangled Oregon’s health and vitality through unprecedented overreach regarding SARS-CoV-2. Her actions might have been “well-intentioned” but, regardless, they are fatal.
This year’s number of tragic deaths from suicide is outpacing prior year trend-lines. Additionally, suicide deaths currently exceed deaths caused by SARS-CoV-2. Pneumonia and influenza deaths also exceed SARS-CoV-2 deaths. Hospital utilization rates are being maintained at stable levels which are far below the numbers that would overwhelm our healthcare system. In other words, the SARS-CoV-2 “curve has been flattened.”
But the Governor is not one to be stopped by success. The latest gimmick is a proposed travel ban.
Yet there is no data suggesting Oregonians have been subjected to SARS-CoV-2 coming inbound from out-of-state sources. Air travel through Portland’s International Airport is nearly non-existent. Counties along Oregon’s borders with other states have suffered far fewer cases and deaths than the metro areas. There is no documented case-count spike due to wagonloads of settlers seeking a new life in our beautiful state.
Instead, U-Haul caravans are headed out-bound looking for freedom in other parts of our great nation.
The Infringements committed by the Governor, with the Democrat super-majority’s blessings, are too egregious to ignore. The executive branch’s preposterous parade of medical elites, bureaucrats and their media cohorts have needlessly frightened the people of Oregon.
Together we must stand against these unconstitutional, unwarranted and harmful actions. We must take a courageous stand for our sacred, God-given and Constitutionally guaranteed rights. The People of Oregon have already suffered too many indignities at the hand of the Governor and the Democrat super-majority.
Now is the time for change!
If we don’t stand for rural Oregon Values and common-sense… No one will!
