May 28 Letter to the Editor

Whatever happened to governance of the people, by the people and for the people?

We in Washington are now under martial law (according to U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr). This is tyranny.

Who gave Gov. Inslee the power to keep our state in lockdown past the 30-day limit allowed by law? Or to send the National Guard out to arrest and incarcerate people? Or to force police officers to arrest citizens not complying with the governor's personal orders?

Gov. Inlee has installed himself as a little god and wants all his "sheeple" to bow down and do whatever he commands, to show the extent his power over us.

Remember "Big Brother" in George Orwell's book, "1984?" Read it!

Instead of bowing, it would be far better to bow down to God, our awesome creator, and obey his laws.

They supersede man's laws.

We are adult Americans with the ability to think, reason and to cope where there is a need.

Look at Sweden, and the classic example it set of not letting a pandemic close down schools, churches and businesses - it's amazing. Americans gave up their Constitutional freedoms so easily.

Remember 100 years ago in Germany? We are currently reliving what happened to them.

When are we all going to push back? Hopefully, before it's too late ... if it isn't already
