detailing why there are only more mandates to come under Biden’s radical first
term:

 

As a student of history and a proud conservative, I have always taken pride in
the American belief in personal liberty. The power of the individual to
determine their own fate is critical to every aspect of the American ethos. We
read books about heroes accomplishing great deeds against the odds, watch as
our athletes compete against one another, and, of course, see those values
reflected in our governing documents. 

 

Unfortunately, instead of embracing that great American tradition of
empowering individuals to make decisions for themselves, Joe Biden and his
administration have decided to mandate the healthcare decisions of millions of
Americans.

 

We can all remember when President-elect Biden said “No, I don't think it
should be mandatory. I wouldn't demand it to be mandatory,” when asked in
December 2020 his thoughts on the COVID-19 vaccine. Even Biden didn’t agree
with vaccine mandates and knew it would not be within his power as president. I
guess this just shows the power that the Biden administration thinks they are
entitled to grab.

 

The Biden administration labels those who disagree with his overreaching
mandates as “anti-science” and “backward.” But they are blinded by their own
dogma. They believe that they are entitled to tell their fellow Americans how
to live their lives, how to raise their children and how to make decisions that
should be made by individuals in consultation with their doctor.

 

Those of us who oppose Biden’s mandates aren’t advocating for or against the
vaccine, but for the freedom of every American to make their own decisions. We
believe that mandating health decisions is a slippery slope to tyranny. 

 

Furthermore, let’s not forget that these mandates have severe consequences on
our general economic health. Despite another month of severely disappointing
employment numbers, the Biden administration has decided to level yet another
crushing weight onto the shoulders of employers.  

 

The new mandate that requires businesses with over 100 employees to make their
employees get vaccinated or submit to weekly testing is disastrous to these
businesses. As a businesswoman, I know firsthand the small margins and delicate
cash-flow situations that so many small businesses face on a weekly, monthly,
and quarterly basis. Implementing costly testing programs or removing employees
from an already diminished employee pool because they are not vaccinated could
kill the small businesses that have already suffered so much over the past few
years. In a time when employers are having to offer inflated wages and
unprecedented starting bonuses just to get workers in the door, another
non-budgeted expense is the last thing they need. 

 

These vaccine mandates are part of an overarching agenda of increasing the
power of Washington bureaucrats over individuals. The Biden administration is
using this horrible pandemic, which originated in China, as an excuse to exert
government control in a variety of ways. As soon as they took office, they used
relief funding intended to help small businesses to force their socialist Green
New Deal on America.

 

They are using the damage caused by the pandemic to push a budget that is the
next step in implementing this dangerous set of priorities whose ultimate goal
is to tell Americans how they heat their homes, what they feed their children
and what kind of car they can drive. There is no end to their takeover of
American freedoms.

 

My point is simple: sweeping COVID-19 vaccine mandates are just Washington
seizing power over individuals. It’s time that we put personal liberty above
politics and allow everyone to make their own risk assessment and decide if
they want to get the vaccine, smoke, or eat fast food. Let the people, not the
politicians, decide.

 

Throughout our history, when faced with difficult decisions, the American
people have always persevered. As a descendant of hardy western Pennsylvanians
who fought for our liberty in the American Revolution and to defend our union
during the Civil War, I am running for the U.S. Senate to honor their legacy by
protecting the liberty they fought and died for.
