From State Senator Don DeWitte:
Since the Governor’s announcement on August 4 of new Pre-K-12 mask mandates and mandatory vaccines for some classifications of state workers, my office has been flooded with phone calls and emails from angry constituents.
Most are asking what I am going to do about the Governor’s latest mandates and executive orders.
Unfortunately, the courts have ruled that Governor Pritzker is within his rights to issue and extend these executive orders.
But court rulings aside, it is inexcusable that the legislature is not being consulted before new executive orders and mandates are issued.
Throughout the pandemic, I have urged the Governor to include the legislative branch in decisions regarding COVID-19. Those calls for joint decision-making from my colleagues and me continue.
But please understand, there are only three people who can call the legislature back into session:
- Governor Pritzker,
- Senate President Don Harmon, and
- House Speaker Chris Welch.
Both Harmon and Welch seem perfectly content to allow the Governor to continue ruling via executive order.
I believe it is wrong to remove legislators from pandemic decision-making.
By sidelining legislators, there is no opportunity for Illinoisans’ voices to be heard through their elected Senators and Representatives.
I will continue to push for legislative involvement in future COVID-19 decisions that affect our communities, and will continue to encourage our local schools, businesses and restaurants to make decisions as they are able that are in the best interests of those they serve, and which reflect local community values.

……….regarding the “vaccine and masks.” One statement says it all, “Tyranny always starts with a little prick.”
J.B.Shurk
The anti vaxxers have brought all of this on themselves.
We wouldn’t be doing this is people had just gotten vaccinated.
We can end it if they just go out and do it now.
Its as simple as that.

You’re still lying even though the CDC has produced data that proves this to be incorrect. What’s it like to be such a wicked liar who is motivated by evil?
What data is that Guy?
https://www.politico.com/news/2021/08/11/majorities-support-vaccine-mask-mandates-republicans-503506
“The new POLITICO/Morning Consult poll shows GOP voters shunning broadly popular measures to control the spread of the virus, which is spiking across the country.
A majority of voters support mandatory coronavirus vaccines and indoor mask-wearing requirements, according to a new Morning Consult/POLITICO poll that shows opposition to the requirements is chiefly limited to Republicans.”
However, I noticed DeWitte was not at the district 47 meeting.
Playing both sides of the isle.
In soft martial arts, the force and momentum of the attack is captured, redirected, and used to put the attacker in a vulnerable position.
Children aren’t even allowed to get vaccinated and there are breakthrough cases among the vaccinated.
Vaccinated people can still catch and spread it per the CDC.
But sure it’s the unvaxed fault…
Your narrative doesn’t stand up to scrutiny.
If the rate were 70 percent they would say it needs to be 80 percent.
If the rate were 100 percent they would say some island of natives is unvaxed.
If every person in the world were vaccinated they would say animals carry it (they already say that) or they would just invent a new variant that is vaccine resistant.
There are already places like Gibralter, Iceland, and Israel with super high vaccination rates that are supposedly having big outbreaks.
It’s never going to end if you keep listening to idiots like BecauseScience.
This is just gaslighting and goalpost moving for dictators to exert control over the population and enrich themselves while living standards for the 99 percent decline.
You’re going to regret your shilling for evil people.
I think DeWitte lives in St. Charles.
Um, Correcting? No one listens to BecauseS.
here is the report from the CDC that started this whole mask debate.. again. one of the key phrases fromit are:
“The findings in this report are subject to at least four limitations. First, data from this report are insufficient to draw conclusions about the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines against SARS-CoV-2, including the Delta variant, during this outbreak. As population-level vaccination coverage increases, vaccinated persons are likely to represent a larger proportion of COVID-19 cases. Second, asymptomatic breakthrough infections might be underrepresented because of detection bias.”
Seriously read the report, it’s not had to digest, but the graph at the bottom is interesting.
The graph may be why there is so much un-vax shaming in the last few weeks.

Also from the IDPH website, this is a list of the “current variants” in Illinois. (link below). we keep hearing Delta Delta Delta, like calling for Beetlguise. oddly why has the most prevalent 2 “knock offs” of the Original never mentioned?
Alpha (B.1.1.7) 7,023
Beta (B.1.351) 112
Delta (B.1.617.2) 1,456
Gamma (P.1) 2,663
Total 11,254

Has Dewitt met with his constituents who have lost people to covid?
Has he done anything to help people impacted?
Has he spoken to experts from the University of Chicago about covid?
No he has not..
He is a fool and should be voted out.
J B Pritzker wasn’t expecting all the blowback from his school children mask mandate in the beginning of August 2021.
Or the recent lawsuits filed by parents in McHenry County, he now fears many more are coming, so starting today August 26, 2021 he has decided to make an indoor mask mandate for all of Illinois AGAIN!…
Not for your safety…
Not for your health…
I heard this was only to avoid further school children mask lawsuits from parents, and to get the current ones thrown out.
If you see how deceitful this is, and it bothers you as much as it bothers me, pass it on..
I mean seriously…Who voted for this oversized selfish zhmuck?
When ya got to go…
Let’s go Brandon!
