Dear Governor...

I see by the local news that you are holding another press conference to let us know what new hell you are going to put us through with your mandates and restrictions.  There are a couple of things you might want to consider before becoming even more drunk with power than you already are.

You say that your rules are for "the greater good."  I am pretty sure that sweet girl with the lovely smile and friendly manner who waits tables at the restaurant down the street isn't thinking about "the greater good" now that you have deemed her job "nonessential."  That job is essential to her when she needs to pay her rent and feed her kids.  I wonder how many meals she and many others like her skip in order to have enough food for her children to eat.  You don't look like you have missed any meals, Governor.

Then there is the fellow who has worked hard all his life to build up his small business.  He has already drained his life savings just to pay his loyal employees and keep his business afloat but very soon he will run out of time and money and his doors will close forever.  He has treated his small staff of employees like family and now he will have to let them all go, through no fault of his own.  But I'm guessing that you and those in your office are still being paid.  Paid by people like the business owner that you have put out of business.

Lets talk about the kids.  The ones whose chances of contracting the virus are slim and none.  The ones you won't allow back in school.  The ones you won't allow to play sports.  The ones you want to keep from gathering with their friends like kids are supposed to do.  The ones who are being cheated out of an education and a childhood.  Those kids.  

And then there are the elderly.  The Grandmas and Grandpas who would give anything just to hug a grandchild again.  The ones in nursing homes who don't understand why they have been abandoned.  The ones who die alone.  All because of your rules and regulations.  

I understand there is a virus going around.  I also understand it is no worse than the flu we deal with every year.  This is not about a virus.  It is about fear and control, for when a population is fearful, they are easier to control.

I am here to tell you, Governor, that some of us are not afraid.  We are mad as hell.  We are tired of being treated like children who haven't enough sense to take care of themselves.  Most of us have grown up, raised families, worked for our livings and made decisions without consulting you.  And now you think we are OK with you telling us what to wear, where we can go, what we can do.  

Perhaps it is high time you remembered, Governor, that you work for us and not the other way around.

    1. Thanks CW...I keep thinking about that movie (can't remember the name) where people are hollering out their windows, "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it any more!" Things just don't seem to be getting better. We had better be ready!

    1. deb...If someone feels more safe by wearing a mask, that is a personal choice and should be respected. But not wearing a mask is also a personal choice and deserves the same respect. What I resent is the governor who would be king assuming that I am not capable of making those decisions for myself.

  3. Well said. I'm am so sick of the mandates and restrictions. I hate wearing a mask, and there is no way it can be healthy for us either. I'm mad as heck too. Our state is trying to impeach our Gov. Praying they do. So sick of the shutdowns etc.

    1. Thank you Kristina. Those who have become drunk on power are not taking into consideration that their mandates and restrictions are causing more harm than does the virus. As someone with health issues and is on oxygen 24/7, I can safely say that the mask mandate is at least as dangerous to me as is the virus. More so, actually. I would rather live my life with the risk of catching a virus that has at least a 99% recovery rate than to live my life in isolation and fear.

  4. Good morning Vicki!
    Those Drunk with Power need to go into Detox then Rehab and a 100 Step Group after. AKA Kick them out of Office and all their little Blood Suckers.

    I read this article this morning. Interesting information on symptoms and treatments. Red

    1. Red...I am in complete agreement with your solution to the problem. I might add that as long as the governor has succeeded in eliminating the ability to make a living for so many, perhaps his paycheck should be eliminated as well.

      Thanks for the link. I read the article. Interesting and I appreciate your bringing it to my attention.

    1. I don't know about that, Pete...More just a ticked off granny who is tired of watching those she loves being used and abused by a politician who has less common sense than God gave a goose.

  6. Our "governor" is as power-drunk as he can be. Of course, he's completely lost credibility, having violated his own lockdown order. Like aunt (Pelosi), like nephew. Newsom is not only the laughing stock of the country, but of his own constituents!

    1. Our governor is doing his level best to become another Newsom, but lucky for us, I think the level of Newson's stupidity is beyond the reach of our dimwitted fearless leader. I am so sorry that you have to endure such nonsense. Given that my faith in honest elections has swirled down the porcelain receptacle, I really don't know what we can do to stop them.

    2. Well one thing different from Gruesome is San Fran Nan is not your guy's Auntie. Unless there was some strange hanky panky many moons ago. Red

    3. Red...There is very little about our guy that would surprise me any more. His picture is in the dictionary next to the word 'moron.'

  7. Can I send your letter to "King" Newsom, too? He's making our life miserable here in CA.

    1. K...I guess this post was taking aim at all the governors who are hell bent on wrecking the lives of the good citizens in their states. A pox on them all.

  8. Excellent post, Vicki. I think they’re just seeing how far they can push us. Myself, I’ve about had enough!

    1. Thank you, LTM...I think that anyone with more than two functioning brain cells to rub together has just about had enough of this nonsense. What truly amazes me is how many there are who blindly follow along, watching their freedoms disappear before their eyes. That scares me.
