(12,712 posts)That smells funny and reeks of something AstroTurf or foreign influences.
Most parents will go out of their way to protect their children and keep them out of harm's way. Not all, but most. In fact, parents have tended to be overly cautious and overprotective.
Now, that invitation does not sound right at all. People may be gullible and believe that, but parental instincts run very strong.
I call shenanigans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Manipulation. Who wants us all sick and dead again?

"Most of us want our kids to go back into to school, because social interaction is an equal part of growing as a kid," Rebresh said. "I don't like the idea of my kids going to school for five to eight hours a day wearing a mask."

(81,073 posts)In Illinois, Democrats Widen the Net
By Monica Davey

And so, when the Democrats duly elected nominee for lieutenant governor resigned last month amid questions over a domestic battery charge, unpaid child support and steroid use, the states Democratic Party announced it would replace him in a new, un-Chicago way.
Anyone can apply. Applications are available on the Internet. Candidate presentations, as early as this month, will be held in public. And while many remain doubtful that, in the end, this exercise will truly amount to a Mr. Smith goes to Springfield, more than 200 people have already stepped forward in just over a week.
Although the nomination is for the states Democratic Party ticket this fall, not all who signed up were actually Democrats. One man said he had been a Republican lately but would be willing to switch back, while others said they were independent or ambivalent.
Yet Michael S. Rebresh, 35, an applicant who owns Mr. Chauffeur, a car service, said party leaders must give all a serious look.
Take a guy like me, Mr. Rebresh said. Im a man living on the ground floor. If they dont consider a regular guy, or girl for that matter, theyre going to get caught on it.

But, they couldn't fit a million people in Springfield. It's just a city of 115,000.
Besides, it will be under a thousand. Probably much lower.
They could spread it, but not like if were a true mass gathering.
