We believe that those who reside in and visit our great city of Whitefish, Montana should have the choice of whether or not to wear a face mask while shopping, enjoying the outdoors or frequenting establishments where social distancing might not be an option.
However, as Americans who value freedom of choice, we also believe individual businesses have the right to refuse service to customers who do not wear masks. Several stores in the downtown area have signs posted to this effect. This is in the same spirit as "No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service."
Freedom of choice is crucial. The City of Whitefish should not be mandating masks. Instead, decision makers within a business, congregation or library should develop a mask policy tailored to their specific needs.
Please show your support and sign the petition. Thank you!

We say no to this ridiculous mandate from an apparently oppressive city government. We will immediately stop spending ALL money in Whitefish. This includes fuel, groceries, hardware, sporting goods, clothing and banking processes.
I am not in support of making wearing a mask mandatory. I have asthma and struggle at times to get air. Being ‘forced’ to wear one is bad for my health. I am sure I mot the only person in Montana that has asthma.
Business owners should have the right to create regulations within their store, and patrons should have the right to choose to wear a mask. All rights need to be respected. A city wide mandate would be further damaging to our local businesses.
As a business owner in whitefish I reject the idea to infringe upon people right to determine their own health and safety standards. I’m against any ordinance that requires or recommends people wear masks or other health decisions that belong solely to each individual
As a local business owner, I’m concerned about my staff having to wear masks for a full 8-hour shift. Several studies have shown the risk of breathing in your own CO2 which lowers immunity and causes light-headedness, headaches, vertigo, and fatigue.
No for mask
Stop the madness save our small businesses

As a resident of Whitefish, I strongly believe we should not have mask mandates. Instead, each business, congregation or library should make their own decision on whether or not to require masks within their space. Masks should never be required while outdoors.
