Took a stand at work. Ventura County is mandating everyone regardless of vax status that you must wear a mask at work at all times. Told employer I will not follow these mandates and I will be working from home. Provided in writing the AFLD Mask Letter. Reached out to Thomas Renz @ Renz Law with the following: (Blocked out names for now. May share depending on actions)
"It has been brought to my attention that you are an attorney who could aid in either defending me or point me to a lawyer in my area to assist me in battling these mandates.
I was refused entry into my employers building to work. The company has been mandated by Ventura County Public Health, that all employees and visitors are required to wear masks in the facility regardless of vaccination status. I have attached the emails that the company sent out which also contains additional attachments.
Upon entering the building to report to work today, I was told of this mandate. I then told the screener, who is HR-EHS Manager, that I will not wear the mask. That I am not sick, I am healthy and ready to work. He told me that if I do not wear a mask, he cannot let me into the facility. That if he allowed me in, Ventura County could close the business. I told him that they are not directing by science, they are dictating through fear. That these are not laws and dictators forcing the people to give up their rights for the common flu.
I then pulled out the attached letter, Mask Letter – Work, which I got from Frontline Doctors and modified it, dated and signed the letter and presented to him. I stressed to him to read it all and to take note of the references made. He said ok and reiterated to me that I still cannot enter the building.
Upon that, I emailed my Director and Manager, and informed them that I will be working from home. I also had a conference call with my manager later at 9:00 AM where after talking about work, we talked about the incident with me trying to get into the building to work. He commented that he has not been notified by anyone from management personnel of this.
I feel my employer will use this to fire me from my job and will use it to show others what happens when you refuse to follow directions.
I strongly believe that this is the line that cannot be crossed. That mandating to wear a mask is the first step in the process to mandating the vaccine (Poison Jab) and then other mandates. Once you give in, the wall of resistance starts to fall and the enemy wins.
As I began this letter, I am looking for a lawyer who will help with my defense in this.
You council and any direction or assistance you can provide is greatly appreciated.
Very Truly Yours,"
Looking to hear back from his office and see where this will go.
I have had eough of all these lies and strong arm, bully tactics. We know they are lying but no one is standing up. Even a friend who works with me wrote this and sent a link:
"I was wondering where you were since you were right behind me on the way into the building. Yes, I think this mask mandate is pretty much worthless too but I am too chicken to take a stand.

Stand up and fight back or die where you lay.

From a friend’s wife’s Uncle (Geez I know!) who heard about my fight. He is a retired corporate lawyer.
“I admire your co-worker who has taken a stand. Very good for him. We need more leaders like him if we are ever to recover our personal freedom. We have been subjected to serial civil rights abuses on a highly invasive personal level, almost all have had absolutely no benefit for public health. We are in a police state, which is committed to act against the interests of the population. I am grateful that I am not in the work force and have to deal with this horse shit on a daily basis. Its bad enough going out of the house, but at least I can avoid the face mask nonsense or a vaccine mandate for a vaccine which hasn't been doing the job and has an unusually high incidence of significant side effects.
Regarding your friend, I don't think he should quit. If the issue is pressed, make them fire him, but don't volunteer to go out the door. And when they do fire him, sue them. He should be looking for a good plaintiff's attorney. One problem is that most plaintiff's law firms are allied with the leftist cause, who have made a lot of their business possible. So it may be more difficult than usual to find a good trial attorney to take the case, but suing is what needs to be done and having advice of counsel early, while still employed should be helpful in preserving his rights. Maybe one of the conservative think tanks can recommend good legal counsel. For what it is worth, the Pacific Legal Foundation may be able to provide some help.

Equally discouraging, this madness is not limited to the United States. Australia has really been oppressive. Not only are major urban centers locked down, with low levels of covid, but there was a report yesterday that government officials killed rescue dogs because they didn't want people to leave their home to feed and take care of them. Absolute madness and abusive behavior. One bit of good news is that I am told that European nations are not going along with the face mask the school children program, so that silliness seems limited to the United States.
I was just listening to Clay Travis on the radio who said all the bull shit about face masks has been like hearing the flat-earthers condescendingly insult the rest of us for the last year and a half. "You stupid people. You think the Earth is round. We are smarter than you. We are better people than you." Exactly right. There is nothing worse than being condescended to by an idiot.
I have lost confidence in our government and major institutions. They have lied to us too many times to be trusted. They clearly are not acting in our best interests and when I see that former general and CIA Director Michael Hayden tweet that Trump supporters should be deported to Afghanistan, how can anyone not feel the hatred that many of our "public officials" have for American citizens. They have declared themselves as our enemies and this is from a Bush, Jr. appointee. They don't deserve our loyalty; not one whit. Let's put them on planes going to Afghanistan.
The Afghanistan withdrawal disaster is deeply depressing. I can't imagine what it would be like to have served there or has a family member serve there and see it come down to this. While it sounds like conspiracy theory, I find it hard to believe that any organization could really be this incompetent. My God, what are we supposed to believe. As I recall, the scheduled withdrawal date was May 1, then it was postponed to the end of August. So, the plan for months has been to be out in a matter of a few days from now, yet when questioned about the chaos, government spokesmen say, we had no idea that Afghanistan was going to fall this quickly. Well, whether you knew the government was going to collapse or not, you were supposed to have every one out by now. Funny, I haven't heard the government spokesmen challenged on this point. It is just too stupid to believe. No institution can survive acting like this.
Then we have "General" Milley. The man who says our biggest national security threat comes from "white supremacist" American citizens. Maybe white Americans are the only people he can attack and have a chance to defeat, plus it wouldn't bring the criticism of engaging in another foreign war. With Milley in a senior military leadership role and with no doubt that democrats have installed other high ranking officials of similar character, my confidence in the US military is going down the drain.
If our government 1) sets a deadline for withdrawal from a foreign government and is clueless when the deadline arrives; 2) promotes that our biggest national security threat comes from US citizens; 3) refuses to prosecute people who burn down buildings and federal courthouses; 4) takes no action when peaceful citizens are attacked by Antifa or when shoplifters routinely steal less than $1,000 in goods; 5) lets dangerous criminals out of jail, sometimes to make room for people who don't wear a face mask; 6) are intent on destroying the dollar and the economy by giving money to corrupt causes; 7) encourages and rewards foreigners to violate our immigration laws; 8) treats illegal aliens better than US citizens, including those who volunteered to serve and risk their lives defending this nation, and 9) consistently lies, breaks past procedures/protocols, and is totally ineffective in dealing with a disease like Covid, then we would be better off defending all of such government. Government is needed for a safe and orderly society, but ours has turned into our biggest national security threat. It is much more of a danger than a benefit.
Hope you and the family are doing well and that soon we will see improvement in our lives. Getting Newsom out of office would be a step in the right direction and I wouldn't be surprised if Clueless Joe gets pressured out of office either, although it is got to be tough to pull the starting pitcher when the only one in the bullpen is Kamala Harris. Don't worry folks, they are not incompetent; this is a planned disaster.”
