We want our churches OPENED.

We want our businesses and economy OPENED.

We want our right to move freely while living safely and taking precautions.



We do not want to be subjected to Governor Wolf’s illegal Martial Law.

We demand that our PA General Assembly end this declared emergency so that Pennsylvanians can return to work, live their lives and prosper! Governor Wolf has imposed a far-reaching executive order that is unconstitutional.

We, the signed, want our Constitutional Rights restored.

We elected you, Pa. General Assembly. You are the voice of the people. The signers of this petition are requesting that you immediately convene the General Assembly and terminate this state disaster emergency. You have that ability:

Section 7301 (c) states: The General Assembly by concurrent resolution may terminate a state disaster emergency, declared by the governor, at any time.

As can be seen....at any time the General Assembly can take that power away. The General Assembly can open the state of Pennsylvania. The General Assembly has the power to reopen our great state of Pennsylvania.

We, the people say the time to open is NOW!

The feedback continues to arrive as more individuals express their desire to return to normal life. I am currently coordinating with legal representatives to ensure our demands are placed directly before the General Assembly.

May 8, 2020

The momentum behind this effort has grown substantially and now reaches a level that demands serious attention from our legislators. We are demonstrating a collective resolve that the General Assembly can no longer ignore.

Gov. Wolf, WE want OUR state opened NOW! WE are responsible adults who can take precautions without you dictating where we can go and what we can do. You, sir have trampled on our Constitutional rights for far too long now and 'We the People" are angry. Do you realize that you are killing people; not only financially but physically and mentally too?? It's easy for you to go through this;; I'm sure you aren't sacrificing a single thing in your daily life. OPEN PENNSYLVANIA NOW!!!

Essential, to we the people . You allowed jersey shore steel to remain open for steel in coffins yet you closed all greenhouses etc. Death versus life sustaining. It is our right to freedom and took away our right .

This lock down was so the health systems were not overwhelmed. Mission accomplished. Re-Open PA! If I'm safe at Wal-mart, I'll be safe at church and the books store.

I know people whom own their own business cannot collect unemployment. They have been going without any sort of income since this has begun. It's bad enough our dairy farm families are suffering. They rely on this for income and they are getting less for their supply but need to feed these animals and their families but cannot due to their income is not there.

My daughter owns a business and has been shut down since mid-march with no income. Her workplace uses hospital grade sanitizing practices on a daily basis. No reason she shouldn't be able to open following safety precautions which are a standard for her anyway. She owns a tattoo shop. Thank you.

State Representative Stephanie Borowicz, State Senator Joe Scarnetti, you are the voice of the people. Negate the power of the Governor. Pennsylvania and American citizens do not go for Kings and Monarchs. We go for representative government. Restore our Bill Of Rights and individual liberty.

Some Governors are so intent on keeping their states locked down tight, and it has nothing to do with keeping their citizens safe from the coronavirus pandemic, it is for political reason. It's because they're terrified that a rebounding economy will Increase President Trump’s chances for a reelection success on November 3 and so they choose to punish their citizens by not opening their states. Think before you vote: President Trump’s continued economic recovery as evidence of his administration's success or Joe Biden a Career politician, ALL Talk No Action, Who has Nothing to Show for 47 years in Washington, D.C., it’s a “no brainer”.
