Description

As we begin the process of reopening our economy, it is critical that we get back to work. The economic shutdown was intended to slow the spread of a lethal virus, not to permanently sacrifice our freedomsand certainly not to expand government power and fundamentally transform America.

During the shutdown, weve learned what that transformed America would look like, and it is ugly. With millions of people out of work and dependent on governmentlacking the dignity of a job, the security of a paycheck, or the opportunity for a better futuredepression and despair are creating an epidemic within the pandemic of suicides and drug and alcohol addiction.

While there are risks, if we follow safety protocols and protect the vulnerable, we can safely reignite our economy as we undo the lockdown, eliminate policies that discourage work and enact policies that encourage hiring and growth. Its time to reject the transformation to permanent government dependence and return instead to individual freedom and prosperity.
