Virginia. In March of 2020, @GovernorVA stood up during a presser and told us our lives would be shut down for two weeks to keep our hospitals from becoming overwhelmed. He was the first governor to shut down our schools … for the rest of the school year.

Northam proceeded to

shut down our churches, our small businesses, and restaurants while allowing big corporations or ‘essential companies’ to keep their doors open. Oh, and he made sure the state-run liquor stores stayed open as well.

In May, Northam was one of the first to fully mask a state.

When sheriffs across the state said they would not enforce it, Ralph decided to use the Department of Health to target any business thar did not force masking. He also encouraged Virginians to tattle on one another if they saw them w/out a mask.

At the same time, Gov Blackface

was only allowing outdoor dining ‘to keep Virginians safe’, while keeping all bars closed.

Remember, he never closed the state liquor stores.

Then the George Floyd riots started in cities across the state, and Virginians watched as Governor Blackface allowed these groups to

break his mandates; he also took advantage of this time to start destroying our history claiming it was racist not to. One by one they destroyed statues on Monument Avenue, while those families in that neighborhood were terrorized nightly by riots, fires, and destruction.

THEN Ralph decided he was going to allow our police officers to be treated as less than, as he pushed for stricter gun restrictions on Virginians.

While he had us locked down and masked up.

It was in July when we realized the schools might not let our kids come back. Hybrid was

being tossed around, and we were somewhat hopeful until @VEA4Kids and their chapters started in on the school boards. Ralph said he was leaving it up to the districts, the districts he knew the teacher’s association could bully and push around. It was at the end of July when

my district decided our kids would only be allowed to go virtual. After having already been out for months. Parents begged, we pleaded, we knew virtual was not good for our kids, but nobody listened. Not the district, not the school boards, not our state superintendent …nobody.

By the time they allowed my secondary kids to come back a couple of days a week it was mid-November. And using the metrics set up by Northam’s Dept. of Health, they pulled my kids out again 2 weeks later.

They wouldn’t see the inside of a classroom for four months. And even then

it was only hybrid.

Sorry, this is long, but I want to remind Virginia what Northam put us through, what his Dept of Health and Dept of Education put us through, and the damage one-party Democrat rule has done to this state.

Even now, our kids are masked in their schools,

because Ralph’s hand-picked Public Health Officer mandated it.

It’s been a long and horrible 19 months and many of us have felt hopeless and scared.

Tomorrow, Nov 2, we can change that. We can elect new leadership, REAL leadership for Virginia. Leaders who will respect our

individual Liberty and who will put people before politics.

For a change.

No mandates, no lockdowns, a TRULY free and open Virginia.

Please, if we really want our Commonwealth back, we need every Virginian to vote for Youngkin, Sears, and Miyares. It’s our time. 🇺🇸❤️🙏🏻 #vagov
