We multiply Governor Laura Kelly for signing vaccine mandate exemption law; Florida goes Blue — in a good way; Omicron news; Biden maskless; Covid protests rock the world; and Columbia U pays up.
The media reports of the protests in Australia substantially underplay the size and scale of the protest movement. The epicenter of Australia's Covid madness is Victoria, where the entire state is being run by Dictator Dan Andrews. Andrews has attempted to formalize his dictatorial powers in a new bill that gives him the personal power to declare a state of emergency, lock down people, suspend civil rights and imprison people deemed 'a risk.' Even among the vaccinated, this was a step too far and over the past four weeks there have been massive protests in the state capital, Melbourne, and they continue to grow. The turnout on 20th November 2021 was in the vicinity of 400,000 to 500,000 people. The following weekend the number was nearer 750,000. The media and police claim no more than 20,000 but the photographic evidence is clear. The Vic govt is in a state of panic and disarray. Dan needs the votes of several key independents, but being a dictator he doesn't ask or negotiate, simply demands they fall in line. They are not. Seven government MPs have quit the parliament, announcing their imminent resignation/retirement.
The nexus is Victoria, but there are huge protests in every capital city and in dozens of regional centres - this is unheard of. In Perth, Western Australia, there was a huge rally on 20th November of between 20-40,000. The pressure continues to mount.
The Federal Government pretends to sit on its hands, claiming it wants the states to give up their mandates and relax restrictions, but our good Prime Minister (that "guy down under" - never was there ever a more fitting statement made about that empty and soulless man), has been directing the states from the back seat. There is an election looming and he and his government desperately need 'plausible deniability' for the appalling behaviour of the state governments. But we know he's as culpable as the rest and he and his ilk will pay in March/April.
Please, DON’T support Kelly!!!! We want her out! Her hand was forced to sign this bill and it’s just a political move to get re-elected! She didn’t want the special session that brought the bill forward! For the first time in history the KS legislature petitioned to bring the special session when the governor wouldn’t initiate it. She was the first governor in the nation to support school lockdowns, long before cases even rose in the state! She has worked hard to make us a state like NY or CA and if it wasn’t for a Republican super majority she might have accomplished it!
Please, please, please retract the support of Kelly! She already has the backing of the deep state and we’ve been working so hard to push back!
Please retract your support of Kansas governor Kelly. She fought the special session that led to the bill she signed. If it wasn’t for a super majority of conservatives in the senate, KS would have looked like NY, CA, and MI this last year for lockdowns, masks, and mandates. She went into schools and pushed pornographic material, supports abortion, basically a full-blown communist. #mikethompson4ksgovernor
No no no no!!! Freedom lovers in Kansas don't want another minute under Laura Kelly's rule, much less 4 years! I can see why you got confused, and that was the point. This is all optics. This D did not all of a sudden see the light and hear the freedom bell ringing, she saw her approval rating and heard the unemployment line calling! Please don't encourage another dollar go her way!! Kansans are sick of this tyranny and we WILL vote her out!
OK C & C after reading all of these comments (after I donated), I can see that we as an army need to consider our strategy moving forward. I'm sure Jeff will be on it, but this is tricky. I LIKE the idea of being willing to donate to candidates I wouldn't normally support, but I can see there are a lot of concerns here. Jeff, let's strategize how to handle this in the future.
Laura Kelly does not deserve another term after doing just one thing we like. Lockdown Laura can smell the coffee but it is too late. Kansas would have School Choice today if not for her allegiance to the teacher’s union.
OMG WHY WHY WHY do NOT promote left wing Laura Kelly!!! She only signed this because it was veto proof and she knew it would negatively impact her re-election! Please remove your support for her! Kelly did NOTHING to help Kansas. It was a never before done emergency session of the legislature CALLED by our legislatures that got this done!!!
I will not give a dime to lockdown Laura, the only reason she signed is because she knows she's losing ground and wouldn't get re-elected. We the people made this happen because we pushed our legislators with our voices & pens and you give her all the credit. Wrong on so many levels.
It seems it would be better to get feedback from your readers before selecting a governor to support.
I appreciate all the effort you put into the newsletter, but I can't support this effort.
One self-interested strategic move in favor of liberty should not garner financial contributions AGAINST a Republican candidate for governor who actually believes in liberty! If you wanted to make a bi-Partisan move then support a Democrat voicing liberty in a democratic stronghold where it’s unpopular and where we have no chance of getting a true conservative elected. Very disappointed in your judgment on this one and will have to be diligent about double checking your recommendations in the future.
Take down your donation advertising for Kelly. We the freedom fighters have fought to stop her shut downs and mask mandates. It is our legislators that came to our aid. NOT KELLY. she had no choice but to sign HB 2001 because she is running for reelection. STOP THIS NOW. Or loss the freedom fighters on your Plat for.m.
Our AG Derek Schmidt is fighting for us he has 3 lawsuits pending against this government mandates. Kris kobach has stood up and spoke at special commitee hearing on our constitutional rights. These are the heroes. NOT KELLY
PLEASE RETRACT your support of Kansas governor Kelly. She has not supported Kansas people. She has been pushing to make our State like California and New York.
This was all done by the GOP legislature & Lockdown Laura only signed this because she knows her re-election is looking gloomy. Our LEGISLATORS called a special session WITHOUT Laura because she refused to call them in session. This was a historic move by all republicans in the legislature. No credit to Gov. Kelly. Her days are limited in office.
I am from Kansas and would kindly ask you to rethink your promotion of Governor Kelly. She has never been for freedom here in Kansas and this latest bill that was passed was only a way for her to gain support for re-election.
If you look at Kelly's history here in Kansas, you will see that she is not someone freedom loving patriots should be supporting. The bill that was recently passed was an "ok" bill, but fell far short of banning mandates altogether.
If you know your Constitution, you will see that this kind of bill that required employers to accept religious and medical exemptions, should not even be needed. Our religious freedoms are already upheld by our Constitution -- we just have governing leaders and businesses who are not being held accountable as they violate the Constitution. So even the passing of a bill like this just continues to leave this power in the government's hands, instead of in the hands of the individual which is where it belongs.
PLEASE remove your push to support Governor Kelly immediately. We do NOT want her back in office here in Kansas!

There are 2 types of people: Those who dislike Fauci.....and those who hate him.

WE DO NOT WANT KELLY REELECTED IN KANSAS. AWFUL! SHE'S JUST BUYING VOTES!!

Governor Kelly VETOED this bill - Kansas SB55 (http://www.kslegislature.org/li/b2021_22/measures/documents/sb55_enrolled.pdf)
"AN ACT concerning education; relating to student athletes; creating the fairness in women's
sports act; restricting participation on women's teams to female students; providing a
cause of action for violations."
This bill would have simply not allowed transgender athletes to participate in women's sports, to enter women's locker rooms and bathrooms, etc.
This was her statement regarding this bill:
https://governor.kansas.gov/governor-laura-kelly-vetoes-divisive-transgender-sports-bill-keeps-kansas-welcoming-and-open-for-business/
This is a small taste of what we have been up against with Gov. Kelly.
Please DO NOT support her!
