Longing to take a vacation with the freedom to roam around without a mask?
Looking to actually dine in a restaurant without being turned away due to “capacity limits”?
Thanks to the Governor of Texas and his love for freedom – Texas is now THE PLACE to go!
What could become a new nationwide trend, Texas Governor Greg Abbott has officially opened Texas for business and has done away with all COVID-19 restrictions.
Realizing how many businesses have suffered due to COVID-19 mandates, Governor Abbott publicly announced on Tuesday that all businesses are now allowed to operate at 100 percent beginning March 10th.
No more capacity limits or imposed restrictions.
Pure freedom.
He’s also eliminated the mask mandate – allowing people to actually live life without the confines of a mask.
CNN reported:
“Too many Texans have been sidelined from employment opportunities. Too many small business owners have struggled to pay their bills. This must end. It is now time to open Texas 100%,” he said.”
Shortly following Governor Abbott’s announcement, Mississippi announced they too will be eliminating the mask mandate in their state – and it’s expected that even more states will follow.
While the federal government is cracking down on mask mandates – fining moms because their two-year-old won’t keep their mask on or forcing hikers to wear them in National Parks – conservative states are fighting back.
It’s crystal clear – people are mask-weary and fed up with all the COVID-19 restrictions.
Businesses have suffered for far too long and American citizens have been held hostage by out-of-control bureaucrats who want to eliminate our God-given rights.
Enough is enough.
States like Hawaii and New York may continue to terrorize and fine their visitors, but they’ll also continue to suffer the economic consequences.
In contrast, states like Texas and Mississippi will likely see a massive economic boom.
And despite the narrative the federal government tries to sell, states that support freedom are not being reckless.
Governor Abbott acknowledged that COVID has not suddenly “disappeared,” but understands that state mandates “are no longer needed.”
Governor Abbott realizes that adults are able to take their own safety precautions without being forced by the government to do so.
Some people will probably still choose to wear a mask – and more power to them.
It’s their choice.
But for residents who don’t want to wear them, they will no longer face harassment or fines.
That’s the beauty of freedom – giving people the ability to make the decisions that are best for them and their family.
Liberals are obsessed with control and always seek to use mandates to have power over citizens.
But as history has showed us time and time again, freedom always trumps tyranny.
Cheers to Texas for boldly leading the way!
Let’s hope more states will follow.
