More than a dozen cities and counties in the United States are fighting COVID-19 restrictions by designating themselves pro-freedom “sanctuaries” or by simply refusing to enforce emergency orders.

The counties are primarily located in highly regulated states – like Michigan and California – that have suffered catastrophic economic and mental health impacts amid months of business closures and mask mandates.
Late last year, county commissioners in Campbell County, Virginia passed a “First Amendment Sanctuary” resolution, declaring that “(n)o Campbell County funds will be used to restrict the First Amendment.” No funding “shall be expended to aid federal or state agencies in the restriction of said rights,” it added.
“We’re not going to utilize county resources to enforce the governor’s orders,” a district representative from the county told local news. “We’re not going to aid the Virginia Department of Health in shutting our businesses down.”
At least nine other cities and counties have passed similar “sanctuary” designations, including Burrillville, Rhode Island, Delta County, Michigan, Kosciusko County, Carroll County and the city of Mooresville in Indiana, and multiple jurisdictions in California and Texas.
In Michigan’s Baraga County earlier this year, the county sheriff and other officials approved the “Baraga Manifesto,” slamming Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s “clearly unconstitutional measures that treat human beings like herd animals.”
“Since March 10, 2020, the People of the State of Michigan have endured restrictions on their freedom which have not been seen in North America since the days of King George III and the American Revolution,” the officials wrote. “Enough is enough.”
“Accordingly, we hereby put the State of Michigan on NOTICE that we have no intention of participating in the unconstitutional destruction of our citizens’ economic security and Liberty,” they continued. “We further declare our intention to take no action whatsoever in furtherance of this terribly misguided agenda.” The manifesto echoes defiant local resolutions approved in Nebraska and Colorado.
At least one conservative county also has signaled its resistance to coronavirus vaccine mandates.
Assemblymen in Kenai Peninsula Borough, Alaska, passed a resolution in December stressing that the county supports vaccination on an “optional basis.” The statement, which passed 8-1, says that “the best interests of the state” are not served by mandating a vaccine that “many people are concerned… could potentially have serious harmful effects on themselves.”
State legislatures have pushed back against COVID-19 rules as well, with more than nine states enacting new restrictions of executives’ emergency powers or advancing vaccine passport bans since the start of the crisis.

Can this become an infectious behavior around the globe? Can enough free peoples decide to stand up and be counted telling the despots at we will not sit down or take your orders any longer; we take control of our own lives and will not surrender, not ever!
Having fearlessness of any of them, their trickery or lies! Are we willing to live as cowards hiding in the shadows or will we step out boldly into the light from above and proclaim our God given rights to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness! I will and plan to no matter what; they can shoot me or anything they want to do to try and stop me because I know they can’t ever stop the one who dwells in me filling my heart and soul with His love; my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
The evil run in fear at the mention of His Holy Name and those that hold His Truth in their hearts, minds and souls; they are invincible! Amen.
Thank you Jesus Christ. Amen
Brother in Christ Jesus,

Truly good news! Gives hope to the repressed citizens of the world. WCVB Boston says “the fully vaccinated don’t need masks according to the CDC” Go ahead, CDC and media, Dr. Fauci and Deborah Brix, and just keep messing with our minds as you have received money from China to do! We have ‘had it’ unless, as the article points out, we rise up …..
