Oregon Republican Senator Dennis Linthicum has issued a statement about the unconstitutional government response to COVID-19 that has led to the destruction of Oregonians’ livelihoods while big government has grown exponentially.

“Oregonians’ constitutional rights are under attack with the never-ending statewide lockdowns that cause significant destruction. Governor Kate Brown and her bureaucratic demolition crew continue to ladle cash and benefits to their own, while penalizing small business owners, especially those in the food service industry. Oregonians across all economic classes are being horrifically harmed by the governor’s crafty, pernicious, and unconstitutional mandates.

“Every business is essential because every business employs people who rely on their jobs to feed their families. With COVID-19 as the scapegoat, the government has created arbitrary rules that determine winners and losers in its preparation to invade every aspect of Oregonians’ lives, eliminating free enterprise and American liberty in the process. Logical, data-driven and science-based policy decisions, rationally understood, would not put Oregonians in this predicament, especially when the infection fatality rate is startlingly low.

“Led by Gov. Brown, the government has prioritized its gluttonous coffers over the hardworking Oregonians who pay their salaries.

“The detrimental impacts inflicted by Gov. Brown’s public health and government chums will take decades to repair and the only solution is to free Oregonians so they may to get back to their own lives.”
