It works for the People and is bound by the Constitution. In September, President Biden announced that he would direct the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to make a new âworkplace safetyâ rule: any employer with 100 or more employees must require those employees to be vaccinated or submit to weekly testing. Today, OSHA released the mandate. Employers will have until January 4 to comply. Americans have many different opinions about the COVID-19 vaccines, but every American should agree that the Biden administrationâs mandate is a vast and unlawful executive power grab. Private and religious employers failing to comply could be subject to crippling fines. Eighty million Americans are now affected by the mandate. Maybe even you or your loved ones. The government threatens the liberties Americansâ hold dear whenever it invents and aggressively enforces new mandates that violate federal law and the Constitution. We wanted to let you know that Alliance Defending Freedom and Dhillon Law Group filed a federal lawsuit challenging the private-employer mandate on behalf of The Daily Wire. And we need your help to fuel the case. The Biden administrationâs decision to mandate vaccination through the OSHA rule is unconstitutional, overbroad, and an abusive overreach of federal authority. The rule requires The Daily Wire to intrude on their employeesâ personal health decisions. Some employees of The Daily Wire have chosen to get vaccinated. Others have not, for a variety of reasons. This is not about the COVID-19 vaccine. Process matters. And bad process can erode fundamental freedoms. Under the Constitution and federal law, OSHA does not have the power to issue such a sweeping mandate for private employers. In fact, a White House official all but admitted that the OSHA scheme is âthe ultimate workaround for the federal government to require vaccinations.â Just as President Biden did in ordering the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to illegally issue a moratorium on evictions earlier this year, he is violating the Constitution to achieve a short-term goal. Friend, thatâs why Alliance Defending Freedom and the Dhillon Law Group are suing the Biden administration over the private-employer vaccine mandate. Americans have already seen their freedoms undermined during the COVID-19 pandemic. The administrationâs flip-flop on a national vaccine mandate is another threat that we cannot allow to stand. Brazen and unlawful displays of executive power like this mandate destabilize our constitutional form of government. Our system includes checks and balances to safeguard our freedoms and prevent dictatorial rule. The Biden administration has repeatedly acted beyond its authority. This unprecedented vaccine mandate is its latest abuse. We are standing up to fight this government overreach on behalf of The Daily Wire. Will you stand by giving a gift today? It doesnât matter where you stand on vaccines. The federal government shouldnât take power given to other branches of government, the states, and, most importantly, individual parents and families. Vaccinated or not, government overreach hurts all of us. Itâs not the federal governmentâs job to force private employers like The Daily Wire to choose between paying heavy fines or terminating their employees. Friend, challenging the federal government in court is costly. But more costly is standing by and doing nothing while that same government abuses its power. Will you give a gift of $25, $50, or even $100 to help ensure that ADF has the resources needed to fuel The Daily Wireâs case against the Biden administration? Thank you in advance for giving. For freedom,
Michael Farris President & CEO
