Happening Now: Senator Fights to Ban Mask Mandates
SENATOR VANCE TO FORCE FLOOR CONSIDERATION OF BILL TO BAN FEDERAL MASK MANDATES
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Senator Vance is on the Senate floor prepared to force floor consideration of his Freedom to Breathe Act, which would prevent the reimposition of federal mask mandates for domestic air travel, public transit systems, and primary, secondary, and post-secondary schools.
Any floor objection to Senator Vance’s unanimous consent request would amount to a clear admission that Democrats intend to reimpose mask mandates in the near term. This narrowly tailored legislation sunsets in 2024 and does not apply to hospitals or nursing homes.
“Multiple entities within our government, within the public health bureaucracy, there are local schools in the D.C. area now reimposing mask mandates, this is coming back unless we stop it from happening,” said Senator Vance. “That’s why I introduced this legislation, and I’m going to force the Democrats to vote on it. If they say the mask mandates are not coming back, then come to the Senate floor, vote with us, and say ‘no more mask mandates.’ Let’s make it bipartisan.”
Please call your Senators office provided in the campaign above and call on your Senators to SUPPORT Senator JD Vance and the Freedom to Breathe Act today.
A special thank you to everyone that shared and acted on this post yesterday. We gained a number of new Senate sponsors and trended on this issue in Social Media. Make no mistake, the mask mandates are coming to most states unless we voice en masse on this issue. Let's keep spreading the word and send a clear message that we won't tolerate a Covid 2.0 government tyranny and mismanagement.
