Dr. Jo Jorgensen Stumps for Gold Votes in the Golden State this Sunday
Libertarian presidential candidate meets supporters, media in Anaheim, Sacramento.
“California, like many states, has suffered under government’s picking of winners and losers, keeping large corporate stores open while dismissing small businesses as unessential and claiming they are not responsible enough to address health and safety concerns in order to stay open,” said Honor “Mimi” Robson, chair of the Libertarian Party of California. “Dr. Jorgensen has talked about sensible approaches, where small businesses can employ sanitary and social distancing measures just as effectively as the large corporate stores, which have been allowed to remain open during these many months.”
“People don’t need to be forced by the government to take the coronavirus seriously. People naturally want to protect their own health and the health of the elderly and those with preexisting conditions,” Jorgensen said. “While I believe wearing masks is a good idea, the government should not force individuals to wear masks against their will. However, private organizations and private property owners should do what they think is necessary, of course, to protect their customers, employees, and constituencies. That may include requiring masks, social distancing, or other measures.”
Much of California is still on lock-down, with many counties banning indoor dining, and schools being forced to use distance learning. At its events, the Jorgensen campaign encourages people to wear masks and employ social distancing, and they encourage those not feeling well to stay home.
