Last week we surveyed you and our entire list of supporters about the current state of America regarding COVID-19, the economy, the coronavirus task force, and President Trump’s job performance. After hearing from you, we are now more certain than ever that we must support President Trump’s desire to reopen the economy. And so, we wrote a letter to the President on behalf of our supporters, letting him know that Americans support his efforts to balance restarting the economy with keeping Americans healthy. Will you please add your name before we send it to him?

Here’s a glimpse at your responses to our survey last week:

1. 94% of you give President Trump a 4 or 5 out of 5 in his response to the COVID-19 Coronavirus (76.4% gave him a 5).
2. 94% of you are watching the daily briefings President Trump and his administration give and 94% of you find those helpful and informative.
3. 95.5% of you agree with President Trump when he says “Americans want to go back to work.”
4. 61% of you think that while providing aid to Americans, the $2.2T CARES Act stimulus does not prioritize the crisis and has too much extraneous spending.
5. When asked about the Speaker Pelosi led stage 4 spending, 96% of you said no to stage 4 spending and that the three bills already passed including the $2.2T should be enough federal government spending.
6. 61% of you (as of last weekend) knew someone who had been laid off from work.

On the Job President Trump is Doing

• “I think the President and his team have done as much as possible to get this thing under control.  I just don't want the government bloated even bigger once this thing is past!!” Connie in Midlothian, TX
•  “President Trump keep doing what you are doing and get the American people back to work very soon.” Sonia in Burbank, CA
• “President Trump, and Vice President Pence have been outstanding in their leadership, and so has the Corona Virus Team.” Debbie in Brimfield, IL
• “Glad that we have Trump on the front lines fighting this for America.” Tom in Blaine, WA

On the Liberals in Congress and the Press

• The press that hates Trump is mostly trying to just slam him rather than inform people.  They should be ashamed of themselves and stop with their petty comments during this crisis. Judy in Clarksburg, CA
•  “We are up against a Party that wants America to fail. They would love a depression so they can blame Trump.” Edgar in Cordova, TN
•  “…  I fear the Wuhan Virus will be known as the vehicle that allowed communism to begin to be implemented into the US.” John in Loveland, CO
• “Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats took advantage of the US citizens in a time of crisis… The Democratic party and their leaders and the MSM should be ashamed of their sickening behavior and actions!” Kimberly in Floresville, TX

On Reopening the Economy

• “We need to get back to work to avoid a deeper and longer crisis, high unemployment, homelessness and crime.” ZC in Alexandria, VA
• “We need to stop being fearful and keep business open and people employed.” Beau in San Luis Obispo, CA
• “It is essential that the world goes back to which regular pace in life and for this to happen, masks should be mandatory until this crisis is over. We have to get back to work we have to get back to regular daily life.” Conrad via email
• “Americans back to work ASAP. Be smart about it but get it done.” Sherri via email

On Praying for President Trump and our Country

•  “I think President Trump and his team are doing the best that can be expected under the circumstances. Many Americans are praying for our president and his advisers and their families." Linda in Vernal, UT
•  “Encourage people to pray!” Bruce in Fort Myers, FL
• “I pray for our President all the time. He deserves respect. I hope that the decision to stop the economy is worth it.” Rebecca in Big Bear, CA
• “Trump has been doing a great job.” Kathy in Pompano Beach, FL
• “Much prayer is needed.” Stan in Branson, MO

As you can see, our supporters want to see a more balanced approach to the coronavirus crisis. And, it’s not just our supporters – a Just the News and Scott Rasumussen Daily Poll¹ released yesterday shows that among registered voters, 30% said that loss of income was the single most difficult impact they are dealing with right now as a result of the crisis. Just 4% said loss of health. While we understand the importance of the social-distancing guidelines to mitigate the spread of the virus and save the lives of our fellow Americans, it is also extremely vital that we balance that with reopening our economy – even if it means businesses must find ways to operate within the guidelines to keep people safe the way grocery stores and restaurants have done.

The left and the media have gone all-in on politicizing and weaponizing this crisis – that was foisted on the world by the Chinese Communist Party – in order to damage President Trump politically. Each and every time he so much as mentions that Americans want to get back to work, the President’s detractors hammer him for it.

We must show the President that the American people support his desires to reopen the economy. If we don’t send a loud message that we want to get back to work and we are willing to do so in a way that continues to implement the social-distancing guidelines, the President will continue getting demonized every time he suggests reopening the economy.

Unlike the rabid left and the mainstream media, President Trump is focused on putting America and the American people first. He is not using this crisis the way that the left is using it to score political points. Instead, he’s doing everything he can to safeguard the country from the virus and work towards reopening the economy – something the left actively opposes (because they would rather see suffering than see President Trump do well?).

We must do our part and show the President that we support a balanced approach to reopening the economy. Please join us in signing this letter to President Trump.

In liberty,
