Dear Citizens of Eagar,
Over the past several weeks I have been asked repeatedly what the Town of Eagar plans to do about C***d19, masks, visitors, r**ts, etc. It is somewhat alarming how many expect and almost invite a more drastic infringement on their freedoms. My response from the onset of the C***d19 p******c has been that we will err on the side of freedom. When r**ts began to riddle the country and our governor took the drastic measure of a statewide curfew, again, I maintained that we will err on the side of freedom. I have received numerous phone calls from reporters, citizens, visitors, and complete strangers to our area asking why the Town of Eagar has not cancelled upcoming rodeos and our 4th of July parade. Again, my response is that Eagar will err on the side of freedom. What authority does the Town of Eagar, or any other state or local government, have to infringe on the rights of healthy law- abiding citizens?
It bares mentioning that I am not one that believes that the c****av***s is f**e or any one of a dozen other theories disseminating across the internet. C***d19 is a real v***s that unfortunately has drastic negative effects on the health of some of the individuals that contract it. Just as with the flu v***s, some of those individuals will die. I do not make light of the fact that its effects on individuals and families throughout the globe have been and will continue to be life changing and/or life ending.
There are many individuals that risk serious peril if they were to contract the v***s. Those individuals should take extreme precautions. I certainly would were I in their position. In fact, I would invite those individuals to please stay home and not attend our festivities. But don’t ask that the government require it of healthy law-abiding citizens. If an individual is fearful of contracting the v***s, I would invite that individual to take every precaution they deem fit; including wearing masks, gloves, or a variety of other personal protective equipment. Those precautions do not harm me and I will not judge you adversely for doing what you feel is best for you. But don’t ask that the government require it of healthy law-abiding citizens.
As grim as C***d19 is portrayed under the most drastic scenario, I dare say that we are facing a much more serious p******c here in America. We are currently in the midst of the nation’s first political p******c. Never before in the history of America has ignorance and bigotry been more celebrated. Never before has our government been more eager and willing to take away freedoms from the citizenry. Never before has the citizenry been more willing to give them up. Benjamin Franklin warned that “Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety”. I believe his warning is as applicable today as it ever was. Some will say that these safety measures have not impacted individual liberty. To them I would quip Thomas Jefferson: “If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.” The right to move about freely in public is one of the cornerstones of American democracy. In a panicked frenzy, created by the media, state and local governments trampled that right wholesale. History will not judge us kindly for our actions over the past several months.
In closing, where would America be if our ancestors that pioneered the countryside, facing a mortality rate that would make the c****av***s look like a scratch, had simply given up, turned back, or laid down and died out of fear? Where would America be if its brave service men and women, who throughout history have on occasion faced odds of almost certain death, simply refused to fight out of fear? When did we stop being the land of the free and the home of the brave? Take charge of your own life. Nobody owes you anything. The government has never been more ill equipped to solve your problems nor is it its function to do so. This is America! Stand up and be somebody! Be brave and live free.

Yes indeed Oprah has bought up 26 billboards in Louisville Kentucky. One Billboard for every year of life for 26 year old Breana Taylor. And she is sponsoring a Protest Group that call themselves until freedom, in an effort to occupy Louisville
Now that's Funny because Louisville has been listed as a Ghost Town for the last 2 months
Businesses have left, Buildings have been destroyed, burned, or boarded up due to the PEACEFUL PROTESTS There in honor of Sain't George Floyed
Just like the old saying goes.
(There Goes The Neighborhood)
She might buy up city blocks to build her Legacy
Anyway until freedom will arrive Saturday Morning at 9:00 am to begin taking over the city, for their occupation
