We do NOT believe COVID to be a hoax. We believe it to be a particularly nasty cold, maybe 2-5 times more deadly than an average influenza. We recognize that COVID is a tragedy that has taken many lives and caused widespread suffering.

We believe that governments, instituted by the people, have NO right to choose which businesses are essential and which ones aren’t. To each family in the community, their business IS essential. We reject any government restrictions on businesses or people.

We believe that children are being unnecessarily deprived of their childhood. We take a very active approach to advocating for children, from liberating playgrounds of caution tape to coordinating pressure against school districts.

Our most controversial position by far is our anti-mask position. This position is NOT based solely on the inefficacy of masks. It’s based predominantly on the fact that masks propagate fear amongst the general public and tear down the social bonds that keep us connected.

We started this group hoping to be non-partisan. Unfortunately, the issue has become severely politicized and that reality is unavoidable. We support political candidates and office-holders who oppose mandates and restrictions.

The philosophical underpinning of all our positions is the belief that human dignity must be preserved.  Living life is so much more than just avoiding death.  We’re all capable of making fundamental decisions for ourselves.
