Across our country we continue to have governors either creating mask mandates state-wide or in specific counties (those with high-level public health alerts). Unsurprisingly, many do so with the blessing of state legislators. These efforts are only the beginning, as these mandates are erosions of our constitutional rights. What next? Forced COVID vaccination? Mandated masks for entire states? The entire country? This is a call to action: these officials are supposed to be answerable to the citizens that elected them. If those of us who dare to challenge the narrative speak out together, then they will be forced to respond to save face. Most people on this sub have come to the grim realization that most of our elected officials are not fairly "elected." However, they must act in a way that does not reveal this to the unawakened masses. If enough of us speak out, then they will be forced to address the issue. Even if there is no change in policy, there will be increased awareness for our struggle due to addresses made by officials. After all, what have we got to lose? It takes only a few minutes to write a letter or send an email to an elected official, and if we don't get anywhere, at least we tried. So let's send letters and messages to our governors, state legislators, national legislators, city officials, county officials, and, if you feel bold, the CDC and president Trump himself.
P.S: In my experience, most local representatives and officials are actually good people and care about their community. Normally, they respond to requests and queries from those they represent, and are often the most effective way for individual citizens to make differences by working together.
