Fairfax, Va – President of Americans for Limited Government Rick Manning issued the following statement in reaction to the premature declaration of a presidential outcome by the media and other establishment organizations:

“Consent of the governed is a fundamental principle of America. When the people cannot trust the results of the election because of widespread voter fraud, our republic is threatened.

The single most important thing that can happen now is to have every single legal vote counted and every fraudulent vote cast thrown out. No matter who wins, all Americans lose if the legitimacy of this election is not confirmed.”

Fairfax, Va – Pfizer and BioNTech announced today they have a vaccine that is more than 90% effective in preventing COVID-19 in participants without evidence of prior SARS-CoV-2 infection in the first interim efficacy analysis. Americans for Limited Government President Rick Manning issued the following statement in reaction to the news:

“President Donald Trump was ridiculed and scoffed at by bureaucrats at the FDA when he repeatedly stated that a vaccine was nearing completion, possibly by election day.

“Today’s announcement by Pfizer Corporation that they have a vaccine that is 90% effective just six days past election day is proof that the President was right. What is alarming is that it is also proof that FDA officials, who knew that the President was telling the truth, instead chose to feed the lie that a vaccine was in the far distant future.

STOCK MARKET UP BIG, VACCINE COMING SOON. REPORT 90% EFFECTIVE. SUCH GREAT NEWS!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 9, 2020

“This is exactly the swamp that the President has been taking on, fighting back using the media as their willing allies. It is also more evidence that President Trump’s Project Warp Speed was absolutely necessary to bring treatments, tests and vaccines to markets safely and rapidly rather than bowing to the public health bureaucrats, who would rather have people die than give up control over their fiefdoms.

“As you watch the stock market soar on the Pfizer news, America needs to give President Trump the thanks for not hiding in his basement, but instead fighting the bureaucracy to allow America’s best scientists the opportunity to develop medicines and vaccines that save hundreds of thousands of lives that would have been lost to the COVID virus.”

Potential Biden Win Signals ‘permanent winter for Michigan workers’

Fairfax, Va – Reacting to the potential of a Joe Biden win in Michigan, Americans for Limited Government President Rick Manning issued the following statement:

“Rarely in the history of the world do voters vote directly against their own economic interests, yet if Michigan election results hold up to valid concerns about fraud, that is exactly what the people of that once great state did. By voting for Joe Biden, they have effectively ended the internal combustion engine. A Biden administration will revive Obama fuel mandates that make conventional automobiles obsolete. Should Biden become president, the people of Michigan will discover what everyone already knows – electric vehicles don’t have many parts and America’s auto industry is really a parts manufacturing industry. And since the main and most expensive part of an electric vehicle is the battery, the people of Michigan should have noticed that those batteries are now made in China. They will ironically use technology developed under the Obama-Biden administration which China purchased for pennies on the dollar from the U.S.

“A Biden presidency would create a long, seemingly permanent winter for Michigan employers and workers. Too bad they didn’t figure that out earlier.”

Given reports of widespread voter fraud in states that could determine the outcome of the presidential election, Americans for Limited Government President Rick Manning issued the following statement:

“Americans have a right to be assured that every legally cast vote is counted. But they also have a right to be assured that illegally cast votes are rejected. In Detroit, Michigan a man who would be 118-years old, if he hadn’t died in 1984, voted by mail on September 19, 2020. As a Christian, I believe in resurrection, but I suspect this was not of God. In Pennsylvania, Philadelphia seems to have a never-ending supply of votes to cast. With the same being true in Atlanta, Georgia. It is time for the Department of Justice to intervene and if it is determined, as I suspect it will be, that vote manipulation has occurred, results from Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan and Georgia should be invalidated and a new election in those states help under federal jurisdiction. This is not unprecedented. It is important because America needs to know who the legitimately elected president of the United States is. The American people need to certain that their vote counted, win or lose.”

Lol! He’s right.

I used info via Social Security Death Index on “Your Voter Information” on the Michigan SoS website.

William was born in 1902, died in Detroit at age 82 in 1984.

He applied for an absentee ballot on 9/11, submitted it on 9/19.

Fairfax, Va – U.S. Senators John Cornyn (R-TX) and Robert Menendez (D-NJ) this week introduced a bipartisan resolution to designate human rights abuses perpetrated by the People’s Republic of China against the Uyghur people and other ethnic minorities in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR) as genocide. The resolution would hold China accountable under the 1948 United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide and begin the process to coordinate an international response to bring these abuses to a halt.

They were joined by Sens. James Risch (R-ID), Marco Rubio (R-FL), Ben Cardin (D-MD), and Jeff Merkley (D-OR).

Americans for Limited Government president Rick Manning praised this resolution as the latest development in the growing movement to condemn China’s human rights abuses.

“Standing together against Communist China’s human rights abuses of its own citizens is a bipartisan issue,” Manning said. “All Americans should agree with. The resolution by Senators Robert Menendez and John Cornyn designating the abuses of the Uyghur people as genocide is evidence that when it comes to China and slave labor concentration camps, forced organ harvesting, and religious persecution, Americans are in complete agreement.

“Now it is time to do something more than complain,” concluded Manning. “I call on our leaders in Washington to take action to divest all federal and state resources from Chinese assets.”

Americans for Limited Government is part of a national coalition seeking to divest all state, federal, and private pension funds from Chinese companies, many of which are engaged in child and slave labor or pose a direct threat to U.S. national security.

Last month, the Department of Labor took steps to combat these exploitive labor practices by releasing its biennial list of goods produced under conditions of forced labor. China topped the list at 17 goods – four more than any other country. The list and the Department’s “Comply Chain” and “Sweat & Toil” smartphone apps, help governments, companies, and consumers fight back against abusive labor practices and, by doing so, protect individuals impressed into forced and child labor because of their religious beliefs.

In August, a top State Department official warned college and university governing boards served notice that the value of Chinese stocks and bonds are likely to be decline as a result of U.S. government action and that they should, therefore, divest from China.

In May, the Department of Labor halted all investing of federal Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) assets in Chinese companies. The TSP is a retirement savings and investment plan for federal employees and members of the uniformed services.

Background:

Since 2017, the Chinese Communist Party has detained an estimated 1.8 million Turkic Muslims, mostly Uyghurs, in internment camps without due process. Detained Uyghurs are tortured, coerced to disavow their religious beliefs and cultural practices, compelled to work in forced labor programs, and, in some cases, raped, subjected to involuntary sterilization, and forced organ harvesting.

As a direct result of the CCP’s targeted population control campaign against Uyghurs, the birthrate of the Uyghur population in the XUAR plummeted by 24% from 2017 to 2018, with birthrates in the Uyghur majority regions of Hotan and Kashgar decreasing by more than 60% from 2015 to 2018. In 2018, 80 percent of all net added IUD placements in China (calculated as placements minus removals) were performed in Xinjiang, despite the fact that the region only makes up 1.8 percent of the nation’s population.

Nearly half a million Muslim children in Xinjiang have been forcibly removed from their families, placed in state-run boarding schools, and subjected to indoctrination and inhumane treatment. Between 2017 and 2019, an estimated 80,000 Uyghurs were forcibly transferred out of the XUAR to work in factories across China which has raised concerns of forced labor being used in global supply chains.
