Do you remember the yesteryears we have in our memories (even a couple of years ago!) We were blithely walking around downtown Cañon City, attending basketball and baseball games all over the USA, cheering on our favorite bull rider at the rodeos and our dear children in the 4-H Gymkhanas that were held all summer? We actually went swimming, hiking, and playing tennis with our friends and family with no thought of a sneaky little virus inserting itself between us. We considered all our oldsters in a safe and comfortable place at the nursing homes and apartments, where they were well taken care of with loving and professional people who we felt were always there for them. Even our pets were carefully groomed at the groomers, and our show animals were carefully trained to be helpful friends and dependable guardians of our property.

We expected our government to do its job - protect our borders, provide emergency help when needed and provide the proper laws which would follow our constitutional given rights as well as our God given rights. We expected this every day, without thinking about it, dreading the next event, scared that we will be called to account for the people we contact, and the events and celebrations we participate in.

We have been blissfully unaware that a terrible storm was on its way. We did not know that the dark side was planning a complete takeover of the world, and especially, our world in a way that made us all feel guilty if we “endangered other people” and so we were compliant. We are still compliant, and the danger has passed. If we look at the statistics available to us all on the internet, it is obvious we are not in danger, we are not going to all “die” and we are especially not going to continue in this present situation.

Weld County is desperately trying to secede from Colorado. (They have been informed it has to go through the Congress for a state to change its borders, who knew?) We have a Consortium of States gathering people and funds to convince another 15 states to join them to add important changes to our elected officials' political lives: Term limits and no state has to obey directives that are not constitutional, infringement on the ability to speak, publish and bear arms was written into the constitution for a reason. We are now seeing the result of the future without the protection of important Amendments.

If you scan the internet as I do, looking for all the recent stories about the virus, the states that are trying to pull back from the onerous directives to them, open schools, play sports in an open environment, let people go back to work at businesses that may or may not still exist because of the rules of protection that have been handed down by who else?? The Health Department, WHO and the CDC. Oh, my, how did these various groups get to be our governing groups? Why have our elected officials bowed down to the ridiculous rules that these people have oppressed the entire world with? We need some strong people to stand up for us, the American public.

Remember when we were able to have a prom prior to graduation, and a graduation prior to our senior classes going out into the world to make their fortune? Remember when we could go to church every single Sunday and even on Wednesday in order to worship as we saw fit? Remember when there was no fear, no shame (why don't you have a mask on?), no hesitation to go, do and perform (sing, shout and holler?) at anytime there was a need for us to do these things? Remember when our family get-togethers were a joyous occasion with EVERYONE there from here to Florida and back? We could gather in our houses, a cafe, a hotel or in a park, and no one said anything like “social distancing,” no hugging or kissing those you love. What happened to Thanksgiving and Christmas? What happened to sports arenas? What happened to all the other events and gatherings we regularly attended?

Ask yourself that question. Then consider we have been duped, primed, psychologically used for the benefit of a few very rich people, whom I will not name, but their initials are George Soros, Bill Gates, Joe Biden, and Nancy Pelosi.
