We are staying strong, though the road has been long and slow. “The cost of freedom is always high, but Americans have always paid it. And one path we shall never choose, and that is the path of surrender, or submission.” --- John F. Kennedy

Let's hope this time it will work out:) It has to, if the justice is indeed out there, completely..

We also need justice for those who don't want to come back.

They're also entitled to back pay and damages.

When Trump did this for the military, I joked that those who didn't want to come back should sign up and then resign after they get the back pay. We should have no loyalty to a crooked system that screwed many.

BTW, he did that because they're chronically short on military especially since con-vid.

Are they short on firefighters and teachers in New York? That could help y'all.

They are short teachers and cops for sure. Military is also going to be short because they can no longer recruit undocumented immigrants, which they did for years offering a pathway to citizenship in exchange for military service.

I hope those that don't want to go back continue on their lawsuit so that the idiotic legal system can have a record that mandates create damages.

The legal system reminds me of this kind of thinking.... They value words more than reality.

Great letter you wrote. Trump has started his changes with the ones having the biggest effect. Let's hope NYC is not far down the road.

Trump started where he has authority. There is no question it is the COMMANDER IN CHIEF who is in charge of the military. Biden brought in the mandate, Trump can revers and EMBARRASS THE LEGACY of that mandate, so he did. He does not have authority over NYC, so it's a Mote complex politic..

Check out Hochul's press conference opposing POTUS roll back of congestion pricing w claims mandating is authoritarian.. but imposing deadly human medical experiment as a condition for employment isn't exceeding her authority of Public Servants... vile wench.

I would like to know if my name has been added to the letters that went to President Donald J Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and United States Attorney General Pam Bondi? I have been in touch with Michael Kane and a member of Teachers For Choice. I am a fired NYCDOE teacher, who was fired on September 6, 2023 for refusing to take the COVID shot and denied Religious Exemption.

Don't expect wealthy oligarchs to care about working class people. Both sides of the political establishment are fascists and globalists.

All politicians do what benefits them - usually what benefits them within the next 15 minutes. Trump reinstated military with backpay and an apology. That is a good start and a good signal for fired unvaxxed workers in NYC and across the country.
