Socialism is the Greater Crisis newswithviews.com/socialism-is-t…

In many instances, one might say that under the banner of emergency, our liberties are being redefined as privileges by government rather than as gifts of God.

For example, I have found it very helpful to listen and act on the warnings of state and federal officials regarding the dangers of personal contact.

However, I can find no authority for governors to declare edicts that restrict gatherings to ten persons, attaching stiff criminal penalties for those who do not comply with the suggestion.
Let me explain. In the state of Ohio, IOTC’s Chapter Leader Ricki Pepin identified:

“An EXECUTIVE ORDER is legally applicable when used to execute existing laws.[1] No authority is given to an Ohio governor to make law. Governor DeWine’s illegal order to destroy free enterprise by closing businesses, public or private, is contrary to state law.”

“Ohio’s lawmaking responsibility is given to the General Assembly by mandate of our state constitution. A specified process is addressed for the declaration of an ....

...emergency action that is necessary ‘for the immediate preservation of…health or safety;’ however, executive order is not involved in the process.”

“Emergency legislative action remains in the hands of the General Assembly.”

“Regardless of a citizen’s viewpoint regarding the value of such a shutdown, blanket acceptance of any autocratic actions opens the door to limitless control by a single, renegade official.”

In an abrupt departure from his earlier rhetoric, the president is now engaged in promoting a whirlwind of socialist schemes including a multi-trillion dollar plan to make direct payments to families and individuals along with bailouts for both small and large businesses.
