BLASEK: Mamas For DeSantis Support Parental Rights

In March 2020, when the lockdown order began, I went into my daughter’s room one night and cried as I gazed into her crib. I cried because I knew the horrible things people did to one another and the terrible decisions they made because of fear. I cried because I knew history and that once a people gave power to the government, it was never returned without a fight. In that moment, everything that occurred over the subsequent three years became crystal clear in my mind. I made myself two promises that night:

1. I would shield my daughter from this “new normal” and,

2. I would do everything in my power to ensure her freedom. I put my life on hold and spent the next two years fighting lockdowns, mandates, and the real “swamp”- the bureaucracies.

In the darkest days of the disastrous COVID response, the only beacon of light was shown from Florida and Gov. Ron DeSantis. He quickly learned the errors of the scientific community and the harmful restrictions they imposed on our freedoms. I was relieved and overjoyed to see him highlighting the doctors and scientists with dissenting opinions. He also pushed back against the tyrannical localities, the medical bureaucracies, the federal government, and the mandates at every turn.
