URGENT! H.R. 6666 - The COVID 19 Testing, Reaching, and Contacting Everyone (TRACE) Act

Cuomo killed thousands of vulnerable elderly by requiring nursing homes to take in infected residents. Does he really have citizens' interests at heart? He didn't care a whit about them. It's all about power and control and he's hiring himself an army to expand state power. 

Editor's note: Forty members of the U.S. House of Representatives introduced a bill on May 1st that is truly alarming - and not just because of its number - 6666. It's called the “COVID–19 Testing, Reaching, And Contacting Everyone (TRACE) Act.” The title alone is alarming!

And just so you know this is no joke I'm linking to the bill (at the government website). I've also copied the entire text of the bill below so there's absolutely no confusion about what it says. 

Did you see the videos of people in China being dragged out of their homes and shoved into government vans to be taken forcibly into quarantine?

Can't happen here? Folks, it's beginning. This bill provides the money to do it -- 100 billion dollars -- in 2020 alone!!! And it aims to contact and TRACE "EVERYONE." New York's governor Andrew Cuomo is hiring thousands of "contact tracers"ostensibly to slow the spread of COVID 19. Newsom plans to hire 20,000 tracers in California. What kind of authority will Cuomo and Newsom give these "tracers?" 

Do you really think this is about our government caring about us? Wake up and smell the coffee. How many freedoms have we already lost during this debacle. People arrested for walking on the beach or playing ball with their kids at a park? A mom thrown in jail for opening her hair salon? Police threatening a couple on a park bench for sitting too close to each other? We are way beyond insanity! That's one reason I welcome the Vigano appeal that recognizes the threat of one world global tyranny. 

Among the eligible grant recipients under the bill are school-based health clinics, the same health clinics that give kids contraceptives and take them for abortions without even notifying parents. We need to stop this bill in its tracks. Contact your representative and protest. And if anyone contacts you to test or trace -- DO NOT AGREE. DON'T LET ANY CONTACT TRACERS INTO YOUR HOME. DON'T ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. Watch this video by Dr. Buttar and post it to your Facebook page and other social media! It's way past time to join the resistance!
