ATWATER, Calif. (KFSN) -- The City of Atwater has declared itself a "sanctuary city" for all businesses, allowing owners to open despite the state of California's stay-at-home order amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The Atwater City Council voted on the resolution on Friday afternoon, saying it, "Affirms the city's commitment to fundamental constitutional rights."

"This is America. You have the choice. It's time for the government to stop dictating another month, another three months, six months," said Atwater Mayor Paul Creighton. "When is it going to end? When everyone is bankrupt?"

Non-profit organizations, such as churches, are also allowed to reopen under the new resolution.

Nice to see a few in California not on their knees to daddy government wanting them to lead them around.

Well ... if you support “sanctuary” designations for this and for firearms you have no right to complain about the same for immigrants.

 

[petro]

Civil disobedience will come first.
If governors don't get the message, the civil unrest will eventually follow.

Yes, we do. One is American citizens exercising their rights against a would-be ruler. The other is giving quarter to illegal invaders.

Only 6 dead (2 in the last 2 days according to the Merced Star) out of 200 cases in that county, 127 recovered, 67 active out of County wide population of around 277,760. I hope the best for the City Council and their 29,479 constituents in the town of Atwater, which seems a bit crowded having a population density of 4,825 / sq mi. Atwater, California - Wikipedia

Two new COVID-19 deaths reported in Merced County. Pandemic's total caseload hits 200

Democrats have been anxiously waiting for a pandemic like this so they could shut America down.

Except guns and businesses are legal ... illegal immigrants are, by definition, not.

Are you really that stupid or do you just play a retard on USMB? Equating Constitutionally guarantied Rights with criminals is beyond stupid.

Sanctuary city for businesses in a pandemic = sanitarium!!!

This is what the issue is. At what point will American citizens tolerate the insanity before doing stuff that Blacks do when a Black criminal is fucked up after encountering a citizen who does not give a fuck. Blacks riot, burn shit, etc., like total retards. Imagine what intelligent folks, American citizens who love the USA can do when they want to take it to the streets realizing all the institutions are corrupt. Very scary, hopefully folks can hold back.

Good ole Atwater..Population around 30,000----not sure if this even matters..or if any businesses plan to take the opportunity to relocate and reopen...LOL!

I wonder if anyone has broken the news to the Mayor...that if everyone else is closed...his reopening is moot.

If leftist pricks can pick and choose what laws they will OBEY......so can the rest of the country.

We don't like your law.......we declare that any law we don't like that you pass will be ignored.

Wow .......this city thinks Global warming is BS..........the Solar Panel requirement is no longer valid here............poor things.

Have you considered that what the intelligent American citizens are doing is exactly what the majority of them think needs to be done? Interesting that you turned this racial--kind of a reflex for you, eh?

ATWATER, Calif. (KFSN) -- The City of Atwater has declared itself a "sanctuary city" for all businesses, allowing owners to open despite the state of California's stay-at-home order amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The Atwater City Council voted on the resolution on Friday afternoon, saying it, "Affirms the city's commitment to fundamental constitutional rights."

"This is America. You have the choice. It's time for the government to stop dictating another month, another three months, six months," said Atwater Mayor Paul Creighton. "When is it going to end? When everyone is bankrupt?"

Non-profit organizations, such as churches, are also allowed to reopen under the new resolution.

So..the larger picture...22 counties are reopening with the Gov.'s blessing..Merced not being one of those....
From your link:

With Friday's decision, Atwater says that businesses within its city limits have the right to open, but that doesn't mean everyone will exercise that right.
A significant complication: the protections are only at the city level. Businesses regulated by the state, including bars, nail and hair salons, could lose their licenses for opening, so many may choose to wait it out.

"We're not looking to jeopardize anyone's business. That's a license you hold with the state of California. So, we don't want to cause any harm there, use your best judgment," Mayor Creighton said.
Gov. Gavin Newsom announced last week that the state had moved into the beginnings of the second stage of opening, allowing for low-risk non-essential businesses to resume operations.

Counties that feel their area is ahead of California's curve are required to meet certain guidelines to move further into Phase 2. Merced County is not one of the counties approved to do so.
The sanctuary city doesn't limit its protections for local businesses; non profits like churches can open their doors as well.

Victory Baptist church pastor Richard Miller says outdoor services will take place this Sunday. He moved his services online at the onset of Coronavirus.
"It's actually helped us to be more educated on how to keep things clean and reach out to people who can't make it out to church," Miller said.
That education brings modifications like reserved seating, taking someone's temperature upon arrival, and face masks if needed.
