All the appellate briefs have been submitted to the Court. Now we’re just waiting for a date for oral arguments.  The court doesn’t hear oral arguments in July and August, so we’re probably going to get a date in September or October. 

In the meantime, it is imperative to focus on the regulatory process and regulations being passed.  I call it REGULATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION because these rules are being promulgated by unelected, appointed bureaucrats.  These rules affect our lives significantly.

But the bureaucrats making them are not accountable to the people.  They are being pushed through in contravention of the safeguards inherent in a participative democracy; meaning that we have the right to participate in the rulemaking process, and the agencies making the rules are supposed to take public feedback into consideration.  Well, they aren’t following the law.  Instead, they are unilaterally imposing rules that expand their power to control daily aspects of our lives.  Worse, these rules have the force of law.  

The more regulations they pass, the closer we get to a monarchy -- where the Governor decides how the people should be governed instead of our elected officials.  These regulations are not subject to the robust democratic process whereby bills become law.

Our elected officials are accountable, to us at least, and represent us in the Legislature. Administrative bureaucrats are not accountable, and further, the Governor’s agenda is opposed to what’s in the people’s best interest. Democracy dies when one person makes the rules for all of us.  If these regulations survive, democracy dies.

Mayor Adams Announced that Masking of Children 2-4 yrs old in All Early Childcare Settings will end on Monday, June 13th

While we are thrilled that NYC's toddlers will finally be able to experience a normal day in daycare,  parents should not forget that compliance to unlawful regulations has dragged this out for this long, causing children to suffer developmental delays.   There is nothing to stop the Mayor and the NYC or NYS DOH from reinstating this in the future -- the DOH's Codes Committee continues unabated to circumvent our elected Legislature by renewing emergency regulations and making them permanent.

PARENTS -- Stay Vigilant and Be Active in your Local Government. 

The masking was lifted because of the perseverance of parents advocating for their children.  These parents never gave up, and were coordinating a protest up to the minute of this announcement.   But now your efforts should be directed to the elections.  With primaries around the corner, now is the time to call and assess those who are running for office and re-election.  You must know who you are voting for, call them personally and find out:

• Have they agreed with the masking of children and toddlers? And how did they act?
• Do they support personal choice in medical decisions?  What are their actions in this regard?
• Do they support parental rights, and mask choice for children?  How will they support you?
• What do they think about student athletes having to abide by a shot requirement for sports, when it's not needed for school, and that 30% of students stopped playing sports?
