Turning Point USA

You just love to see it! I’ve been so proud to see conservative leaders in Florida, Texas, and now South Dakota stand up against this draconian practice.

Governor Kristi Noem has protected her state against overreaching government regulations and lockdowns since the beginning of COVID-19, so this action against vaccination passports is not surprising.

I've signed an Executive Order to ban vaccine passports in South Dakota.

Since the start of the COVID pandemic, we have provided South Dakotans with up-to-date science, facts, and data and then trusted them to make the best decisions for themselves and their loved-ones. (1/)

As part of her announcement of the executive order, Noem tweeted:

“We’ve resisted government mandates, and SD is stronger for it. I encourage all South Dakotans to get vaccinated against COVID-19, but we are not going to mandate any such activity. And we are not going to restrict freedom with un-American policies like vaccine passports.”

Now we have to see what the corporate response is to the conservative leaders, like Noem, stepping up and defending our freedoms. Hopefully, if the corporate leadership starts to push back, conservatives won’t cower and retreat.
