Question of the day

Posted in:

• Illinois

* US Rep. Mary Miller’s office is in the Vermilion County Administration Building. This pic was taken yesterday by someone I know…

* OK, now let’s zoom in on the sign on the door…

The county’s COVID stats are here. From July…

[US Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene] said her ‘We Will Not Comply Act,’ which she filed in April, would offer wary citizens protection against federal overreach.

“It gives you permission to tell Biden’s little posse that’s gonna show up at your door, you know, that intimidate you — they probably they probably work for Antifa by night, and then they come and intimidate you to take the vaccine by day — Well, you get to tell them to get the hell off of your lawn,” she said to a room of about 500 people.

Of course, you don’t need permission from Congress to tell someone to get off of your private property. But Greene said her legislation would also allow people who refuse the vaccine to sue their employers for discrimination if the company makes vaccination mandatory.

One of the men in the audience, 72-year-old Dennis Johnson, showed up to hear Greene speak at a fundraiser for his Congresswoman, U.S. Rep. Mary Miller, who co-sponsored the “We Will Not Comply Act.”

    Comment by Huh? Wednesday, Oct 6, 21 @ 4:22 pm

56. @unconventional wisdoM: “Wow, this should be really embarrassing for Miller.”

    That would assume she is capable of feeling embarrassment. After her first ten months in office, I have my doubts.

    Comment by The Ford Lawyer Wednesday, Oct 6, 21 @ 4:31 pm

57. Literally no citizen in Danville/Vermilion County can tell the difference. No surprise that her constituent service is non existent and most calls go to State Rep. Marron whose constituent service is stellar.
