The most powerful quote of the night for me came from Governor Kim Reynolds of Iowa.  \u201cYou shouldn\u2019t have to wake up every morning and worry about the next thing the government is going to do to you, your business, or your children.\u201d  My personal life changed very little due to the nature of my job.  But I\u2019ve seen businesses shut down because of the government lockdowns, and I personally lost several thousand dollars to them.  And I\u2019ve seen my best friends\u2019 children traumatized by everything the schools did to them in the last two years.  So that quote really resonates with me.  This is the second time in my life that government mandates came down into my personal life and financially injured me.  And what happened to my friends\u2019 children is unconscionable.  Never Forget what they did to us and our children.  Remember it in the months to come when they try to change their tune to get our votes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Several politicians performed State of the Union or rebuttal speeches today.
