So-called “leaders” across the country have been violating their contract with the American people. A Texas mother - Shelley Luther -  was thrown in jail for keeping her business open to try to feed her family. A paddle boarder in California was chased down by police boats. A former police officer in Colorado was arrested for playing catch with his daughter in a park. It must stop. No more punishments.

Governor Abbott made the right decision by stopping the jailing of people for violating social distancing orders, and the Texas Supreme Court ordered Shelley Luther to be released. But this needs to happen across the country. 

I agree with guidelines to keep people safe. But we should not be using the full force of the law to punish Americans for engaging in activity that was perfectly legal until very recently. We can and must trust the American people to be smart, properly risk mitigate, and safely reopen our economy while preventing the further spread of this virus. Click here or on the image to watch.
