Random Mask Rules Are Applied Randomly
I’ve been waiting to hear the wisdom of our city council members regarding how they’d apply the mask mandate to the Carolina Classic Fair. And now we have it, masks are to be worn outdoors as well as indoors.
We all know there’s going to be a lot unhealthy, yet delightful, food prepared and sold at the fair. Does anyone think that the mask will stay on when someone buys a double-glazed donut burger with extra ketchup? Will the masks stay on after someone is served a jumbo turkey drumstick with hot sauce and potato wedges?
Some of the most popular food at the fair are very messy and very sticky. The masks will likely be used as napkins rather than protection from Covid-19. And they may as well be used that way, when you consider lack of science applied to our City Hall’s mask mandate.
I’m sure everyone in Forsyth County has noticed, by now, that while the City’s buildings are closed to the public, the County Buildings are open for business. The public can’t walk into the Winston-Salem Police Department on Cherry Street, but they can walk into the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Department.
What kind of science concludes that we must close the city offices, but the county offices can remain open? The answer is obvious—political science. The same science applied to the Emmy Awards, last weekend, where celebrities, Hollywood elites, and entertainment professionals spent the entire evening without masks. And yet the event staffers, workers, and servers had to wear masks. The same science that says its safe for thousands of illegal immigrants to come across the border unmasked, untested, and unvaccinated. The same science that also exempts Afghan refugees.
And the same science that requires federal employees, contractors, and private employers with more than 100 workers to mandate vaccinations or weekly testing for Covid-19, but exempts members of Congress, federal judges, and their staffers.
When mask mandates and vaccinations are being prescribed and randomly applied by politicians, including our local politicians…it’s time to say, NO!
And when government officials demand the public to be vaccinated and they don’t have to be, or they demand the public to wear masks, but they don’t have to, they are clearly creating an outward distinction between themselves and everyone else. A distinction that identifies who is, and who is not, a second-class citizen.
What else are we to think? When businesses refuse to provide service to you because you’re not wearing a mask or you don’t have your vaccine passport, you are a second-class citizen.
I’ve never been a second-class citizen and I’m not going to start now. And I strongly encourage all of you to make the same choice. Enjoy your donut burgers, and refuse second-class citizenship!

FUNDRAISING & EVENTS COMMITTEE
Forsyth County really had a Grand Ole' Party Saturday night! This was our largest event of the year. Thank you to every one of you who came out, volunteered, and supported behind the scenes. We are gaining momentum throughout the county and will continue to Red Up Forsyth!
Congressman Madison Cawthorn had an unfortunate medical recurrence of issues related to his severe auto accident of 7 years ago and had to miss our event. Fortunately, Congressman Ted Budd and Former Congressman Mark Walker, both candidates for the U S Senate in 2022, jointly used the time available to bring us insights and observations about the current state of our Nation. Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson was in his usual emphatic presentation mode. No one would want to follow him on the platform. He was on fire!
