“For a state party to publicly disagree with a sitting governor of the same party is not something any of us take lightly, and the instinct of loyalty to leadership is usually pretty strong among party activists. So for this to happen underscores the depth of the anger and frustration out there,” said Garcia.
No Exceptions, No Delays….Open Texas NOW
“Whereas, Texans have been under emergency closures, lockdowns, mandates, and restrictions for SIX MONTHS;
“Whereas, state and local governments have exercised egregious overreach in misguided attempts to mitigate the spread of the COVID-19 disease;
“Whereas, state and local government overreach has infringed on our Constitutional liberties – including our rights to property and to peaceably assemble;
“Whereas, this egregious government overreach has resulted in unthinkable depredations upon the people of Texas, including left millions unemployed, countless businesses bankrupt or on the verge of bankruptcy, nursing home residents dying alone and isolated, lives ruined and dreams destroyed;
“Whereas, COVID-19 can pose a serious risk, in particular to some at-risk groups, and requires Texans to act responsibly for the health of themselves and their loved ones;
“Whereas, businesses and customers are fully capable of operating freely while undertaking reasonable precautions without top-down, government mandates;
“Whereas, every day that closures and restrictions continue, they wreak havoc on the livelihoods and liberties of Texans,
“Therefore be it resolved, the Republican Party of Texas calls on Gov. Greg Abbott to immediately rescind all COVID-related mandates, closures, and restrictions and to open Texas NOW. A copy of this resolution shall be sent by the Republican Party of Texas to the Governor, Lt. Governor, Attorney General, Republican State Senators, and Republican State Representatives.”
