Respect 'silent majority'

Posted February 17, 2022 12:00 am

Judge Raylene DeWitte Grischow: When are you going to protect our right not to get sick from a preventable disease like COVID-19? The Preamble to the State Constitution requires the government to provide for the "Health, Safety and Welfare of the people." When does that kick in? When is my and all of the people's health and safety going to be protected? When is the government going to stand up to these bullies, the very same bullies who scream about others breaking the law and want the National Guard and police to come down hard on them; but yet when they break the law by blockading and attempted insurrection are treated with kid gloves; when are they going to be treated as the criminals they are? When are we the people, the silent majority who pay attention to the rules and do our part to protect our community by respecting the judgment of our duly elected leaders, going to be represented?
