DEAR EDITOR:

In 2019, we were enjoying our lives, going to church, movies, games and shopping. We had the best life, and we were free. We could see our grandkids anytime we wanted.

The flu season was very hard on Americans in 2018-2019, with 35.5 million cases and 490,600 hospitalizations.

Flu season comes every year; COVID-19 first started in December 2019. Before COVID-19, we never had to wear a mask or stand 6-feet away from one another. They did not shut down our country to attack our businesses and people, to take away our freedom and rights, or force us to take a vaccine.

One party now controls our lives, telling us we can’t have cars that pollute the air any more.

We have to fight back against this takeover of our lives.

In 2019, we had the right to live our lives the way we want. We have to take our country back from these people that hate us.
