I have 11 brothers and sisters. All of them except one have moved out of Pennsylvania. Four of my children have moved out of state. Many people I know have moved away. A family I have known for 40 years said they are moving out as soon as their house sells.

Despite all the state’s regulations and taxes, I have had my business here since 1983. There’s a famous bell in Philadelphia that says, “Proclaim liberty throughout the land … .”

The governor’s shutdown of my business and all these new ex-cathedra rules have been the cement block that “breaks the camel’s back.” Unless we get our freedoms and liberties back very quickly, I will probably be saying goodbye to all my friends who like the security and safety of a police-state.
