Friend,
It's your body, and it doesn't belong to anyone else -- not the government, not your mask-shaming neighbor, and not to Gov. Charlie Baker.
Yet months after Gov. Baker vowed he'd never implement a vaccine mandate, today he did just that. Consider this note I received earlier today from the wife of a corrections officer regarding the mandate for state workers:
"My husband is one of them. He was given a 5-day unpaid suspension today. He will have a hearing next Tuesday which he will be given the next step, 2-week unpaid suspension, then he will be fired. I can't believe what is happening. My husband's rights are being stripped away. His religious exemption was also denied!!! They told him it was philosophical not religious & that's why they denied him his religious freedom! What is even more messed up is that the inmates are not being mandated. So that means a criminal has more rights then my husband & all the other tax paying state workers."
She's not wrong.
Had enough? Us too.
The Massachusetts Republican Party is taking a stand for Republican principles. In a blue state such as ours, this is certainly a risk, but it's one worth taking. When you don't fight for anything, you'll fall for anything. And we aren't about to back down.
