Missouri Gov. Mike Parson (R) announced on Oct. 28 that he has issued an executive order to protect the individual rights of his state’s citizens against “overreaching” COVID-19 vaccine mandates from the Biden administration.
“As the Governor of the State of Missouri, I stand with concerned Missourians and will do all I can to stop federal COVID-19 vaccine mandates,” Parson said in a statement.
“When President Biden announced his initial plans to force unconstitutional vaccine mandates, we immediately began aligning state resources for legal action. While we hoped the Biden Administration would recognize these mandates as the abuse of authority that they are, they have not, and we must now use every tool we have available to fight this federal intrusion,” he said.
Parson argued that the federal government does not hold the authority to require that people receive a COVID-19 vaccine. He called the Biden administration’s attempt to do so a “power grab.”
“The Constitution and its historical interpretations clearly leave public health decisions to the states. The federal government has no authority to issue COVID-19 vaccine mandates. The Biden Administration acting alone to dictate and mandate health requirements represents the kind of federal power grab the founding fathers warned us against,” Parson said. more here
My OH gov is 100% Democrat in a soft RINO shell.
He’d jab us ALL with dog eating sand fleas if Democrats told him to.
I’m hoping that Brad Little the Governor of Idaho will also do that and the Governor of Montana as well. Inslee’s a true believer and never will set us free in Wash. state but a lot of the counties particularly in Eastern Washington are fed up and will not enforce any vaccine mandates, we hate his guts over here. Spokane County Sheriff Ozzie Knezovich has said he will not enforce any mandatory vaccine mandate. FJI!
Tar and Feather him. Ride him on a rail to the stocks and let the people have him.
Off topic, I see that Admin Girl is on the move…
Thanks Mike!
Good for Parsons – good for Missouri.
izlamo delenda est …
Any federal mandate trumps this piss-ant attempt. Will end up in the courts, just another waste of more tax payer’s money.
Not a big Parsons fan but he’s finally getting on the Red state bandwagon.
Probably just shoring up hus political flank from our awesome AG but I will take any W we can squeak out of him.
