Lots of people worshipping in Lowes, Home Depot, ect. we want to worship together in a church. To assume that we are not going to be careful is a mistake and Jesus did a lot in crowds, takes faith.

Most all business are opening so allowance should be made for churches. It's really up to the individual whether as to the seriousness they accept for health considerations of all. Lord knows, eh?

Like Church and Holy Communion, it fills the soul. Walmart, Target, Costco, McDonalds, Marijuana Shops are open so the pres overrides the public health & gov dictators. This is a new Flu & War starts

If we can go to the big box stores, we can go to church. Just practice distancing and wear masks. Socialize at a distance.

The first and most important freedoms in the Bill of Rights is the free exercise of religion. The founders understand that keeping this freedom was essential in keeping all others.

We don't want to get the virus, but being responsible will allow us to do this right. We are adults, and should not be threatened by the government in this way.

It is thoughtless that these people think it's ok to contaminate their fellow citiizens. Jesus gave you a brain; you can worship anywhere.

Work is like going to Church. Some workers were not hired for brains but to fill position.

I would think that most churches exceed 50+ people. I think that when any other businesses that would have this amount of people is when churches should also open. Thankfully, we can worship anywhere,

Wars were started based on religion. This is a form of bio warfare yet money makes first responders and essential workers enter the most hazardous places. Enter at your own risk. 1st amendment

God gave you ears and a brain so you could listen to and understand the people with smarter brains than you. But maybe God gave these certain church people dumb brains. IDK.

If you can go to big box stores, you can go to church. They can control the number of people allowed in.

There are many ways to worship without being in the same building. My parents taught me that worship comes from the heart, not the building. Community is important and that is why we need to stay home

The strategic oil reserves are for times like this. We should also keep an eye on the oil companies and make sure they are not making extreme profits off the backs of the American citizens. After all that petroleum is being pumped from American taxpayers land that has been leased to these oil co.

No, the reserve is not for time like this, it is for times when we don't have oil available. We do have oil available now, and a LOT of oil available. It is just that Biden (and pseudo-environmentalists) don't want us to use it.

The US shouldn't be relying on foreign sources of energy when we have more than enough to be energy independent again. We were energy independent just over one year ago. But that ended on day one of this administration.

Absolutely! Prices are way too high! Just another attempt of oil companies taking advantage of a big situation like in the 1970's.

Explain why oil companies would not provide as much oil as possible at a time when prices are sky high. No, the prices are high due to speculation of shortage, given Biden's refusal to open up the spigot (the oil leases he claimed unused are not proven, exploration still necessary. ANWAR is KNOWN

We may need our reserves for war before this is over. Increase supply and lower costs by reversing Biden's orders and policies. https://americansforprosperity.org/biden-policies-raising-gas-prices/?fbclid=IwAR3jOvKpxrWnyT1iz2JrBflODu-aV7aHZdj_B4JgTndUI-8XFvAwXp3M1Jw

Absolutely not. Oil prices (and therefore gas prices) would drop dramatically if Congress would just reverse the disastrous executive orders Biden has put into effect restricting U.S. oil production.

Why tap into a reserve that is meant for when Oil is unavailable? We have plenty of oil available, it is just that irrational environmentalists don't want us to use it: https://www.realclearenergy.org/articles/2022/03/07/greenpeace_environmentalism_allowed_putin_to_invade_ukraine_820399.html

These letters allow people who can't financially compete with investors the opportunity to stand out.

It's your property, you should be able to use whatever information you want to decide the sale. Say I'd rather sell my property to a local family instead of a corporate developer that should be my choice.

Yes they should. That is how I sold a piece of real estate I had. Happened four years ago. Was given a higher offer from a developer but I went with the people that sent me the letter. I was able to pick who was going to live next door to me. Have never regreted it. They are the best neighbors!

We have a Democrat controlled legislature that thinks it should have total control over our lives even to the extent of taking away our freedom of speech.
