Biden Issues Unconstitutional Vaccine Mandate

Dear Friend,

I’m sure you, like me, were outraged last week when Joe Biden hastily announced a new Covid-19 vaccine rule that would make it mandatory for millions of workers to be vaccinated in order to work. Apparently he doesn’t remember the promise he made in December when Biden said he would never mandate such a personal or professional overreach. Personal medical decisions should be made between a patient and their doctor, not by bureaucrats demanding a vaccine mandate. This is an unprecedented overreach by the federal government that must be stopped.

Companies could see their doors shuttered if they are forced to pay fine after fine if this new mandate is broken. Biden's order will could cost businesses $14,000 for every violation on top of the cost and responsibility of getting non-vaccinated workers tested weekly. Biden’s mandate is a complete and total abuse of power and I’m confident that, if necessary, courts will find it unconstitutional. This ridiculous executive order would trample on workers’ rights, abolish your medical freedom, and erode our individual liberty and I will fight it every step of the way.

Pete’s Podcast: Friday Night Lights from St. Francis

Every Friday night in the fall there are dozens of high school football games being played across the Great Eight. Last week, I was pleased to visit St. Francis where the Fighting Saints were about to engage in the “Battle for the Paddle” against the Cambridge-Isanti Bluejackets. That night, on the eve of the 20th anniversary of 9/11, the high schools and their communities came together to support our troops and emergency responders. Check out my podcast here!

9/11 not in schools

Earlier this month, our nation paused to honor the solemn and somber 20th anniversary of 9/11, a day when radical extremists – terrorists – attacked our country on our own soil and killed more than 3,000 Americans. For students in high schools today, that day is history. It happened before they were ever born. But did you know that 9/11 education is missing from Minnesota social studies standards? Check out this report from the Center for the American Experiment here.

Where are the workers?

Did you know that half of our small businesses have unfilled positions? According to the National Federation of Independent Businesses, an unprecedented number of small businesses boosted wages to lure workers. Fifty percent of firms had job openings they could not fill last month, up from July and the largest share in monthly data back to 1986. A record 41% of small-business owners said they raised compensation, which will lead to costs being passed on to consumers through price hikes for goods and services, creating further inflation. This is the result of Joe Biden economy where along with Nancy Pelosi the government is paying workers to stay home. We must restore the American spirit and revive the dignity that comes with working and having a job; it’s an essential core to the American dream.

Sincerely,

Pete Stauber
