Democrats are shrieking at the prospect of America coming back to life. They’re already calling the Texas Governor’s phased in plan a “hoax”. It’s not surprising. They detest free enterprise, freedom of association, free speech, the right of assembly and, of course, the right to bear arms. Over these harrowing few weeks we have learned just how much leftists loathe freedom and love power.

They will not let go of their power quietly. I remain very concerned for those of us in blue states, especially. Protest, civil disobedience, passive resistance and other measures may be required to let these tyrants know they cannot override the Bill of Rights. Not without a fight, at least. We will need the federal government, and President Trump, to take whatever means are necessary to restore our individual rights. Michael J. Hurd
