Mr. President,
Thank you for your leadership in these unprecedented times. We continue to pray for those who suffer and those who serve. We know that you and your team are working to militate against the impact of the Coronavirus outbreak while addressing the devastation to our economy.
The loss of any life is grievous, and we mourn with those who have lost loved ones. We are thankful the more dire predictions were not realized.
All levels of government have imposed measures designed to slow the spread of the outbreak. The American people have responded to the guidelines and the effects are apparent. Some governors and mayors have required that businesses close their doors under penalty of criminal or civil sanctions.
Unfortunately, some of the measures enacted to combat the virus have wreaked havoc on the American economy. Tens of millions of Americans have lost their jobs and many businesses have had to close. The negative impact on the economy will likely persist for quite some time.
The Great American Economic Revival Industry Groups and Opening Up America Again Congressional Group are both important steps to restoring our economy and the confidence of the American people in our free market economy.
The American people are resilient, but they have suffered tremendously under the weight of this closed economy. Measures enacted by Congress have provided limited relief. More government is not the answer to these economic woes—reopening the economy is the answer. We are a free people with a free and fair market. The sooner we return to it, the sooner our economy will again thrive.
Sincerely,
Representative Andy Biggs
Representative Scott Perry
Representative Jody Hice
Representative Dan Bishop
Representative Ron Wright
Representative Jeff Duncan
Representative Andy Harris
Representative Scott DesJarlais
