Wow. It sounds so reasonable….but it’s over wearing a cloth mask and being asked to vaccinate during a pandemic, not, you know, say in 2003. Or 2019.
No future overreach in the name of ‘safety’. We say #NeverAgain to Lockdowns. This was a huge policy failure, which must be acknowledged and never repeated.
Now tell me how you feel about being strip searched at airports.
Uphold fundamental rights for citizens, applying unified pressure when legislation puts these at risk.
Now tell me how you feel about the Patriot Act.
Safeguarding open debate and free speech. We must have the freedom to discuss and challenge ideas in order to progress as a society.
Now tell me how you feel about libraries banning books with LGBTQ+ characters or that criticize Christianity or racism.
Freedom to congregate and protest. Our fundamental right to meet, organise, protest, pray, dance and socialise is ours and ours alone. In a functioning democracy, this cannot be removed by the State. This was entirely wrong and should never be repeated.
Now tell me how you felt about Occupy Wall Street and Black Lives Matter, versus say January 6, 2021.
Bodily autonomy must be respected without exception. Never should there be coercion as a condition of employment or participating in society in any way.
Now tell me how you feel about whether abortion should be legal.
Privacy and anonymity are a fundamental right and enormously important for citizens in daily life. The extension of Digital IDs and CBDCs create worrying surveillance possibilities by their very design. We must remain vigilant to ensure they are not abused.
Now tell me how you feel about Facebook and Twitter selling your information for profit.
We, the public, must always be heard and not treated with contempt or sidelined. Our voices must be heard by those in power.
Now tell me how you feel about Bush’s “Free Speech Zones” and Trump teargassing priests so he could do a photo op at a church, holding a Bible upside down.
The government is there to serve us, the people. They are elected representatives who must be open, transparent, honest and accountable at all times.
Now tell me how you feel about the Emoluments Clause, giving government jobs to someone’s incompetent children and in-laws, trying to extort allies for personal political favors, and throwing children in cages.
I’ll wait.
