Letter: Yopp Is Ready To Serve 20th House District

Dear Editor,

Anastasia Yopp is a woman who is ready to be a voice for the entire 20th District and to make necessary changes for all of Connecticut.

As a member of the Newington Board of Education, she is a constant voice fighting to keep core classical education in schools and eliminating government overreach through SEL and CRT.

Schools should be teaching our children how to think, not what to think. Our education system is limiting children's abilities to function in necessary life skills.

We should be advocating for the success of our kids, not the success of hidden agendas hidden in the school’s current curriculum.

It is not a place for teachers to express their own political agendas and ideologies, but a place for reading, writing and math. We need to get back to this

As a mother, Ms. Yopp knows how important it is for parents to be an advocate for their children, not only academically, but also with their health.

Government does not parent our children and has no place playing a role as such.

In 2021 Democrats passed a bill allowing children to receive mental health treatment without parental consent.

Also, in the same year, Democrats removed religious freedoms and the right to a free and public education of children due to vaccination status for no current or present public health crisis.

Healthy children were denied a public and private education in the state.

Households were separated allowing grandfathering of children already enrolled in K-12, while denying all others including day care centers and preschools.

This grandfathering proved there was no risk for compromising public health at all. Government overreach, when it comes to public health, must end.

Extended masking, mandating a liability free Covid vaccine without proper long term double blinded studies, or considering the countless adverse reactions are all part of this.

Gov. Lamont, Democrats, along with our Commissioner of Public Health, plan on adding the Covid 19 vaccine to the schedule for children to attend public and private schools in our state.

On October 19 and 20, the CDC and the ACIP are holding a meeting to vote on whether this vaccine should be added to the childhood schedule.

Are you willing to elect legislators who will pass this legislation to inject your child with a liability free medical product that has only been studied in 8 mice for days without long term safety and efficacy studies, just so your child can attend school?

We need to be able to decide what is best for us and for our children and Ms. Yopp is going to ensure just that!

The middle class has fallen in this state and the country, due to inflation, rising cost of food, and outrageous utility bills.

We need legislators that our looking out for our financial well-being.

Ms. Yopp’s financial experience can be an asset in assuring that our financial interests are taken into consideration, especially with taxes.

Representatives Farrar and Elliot passed a bill out of committee last legislative session, that would allow the legislature to have access to our tax returns.

Their argument was to be able to tax the wealthy more and to efficiently develop better tax legislation for all of Connecticut.

This bill would not just give them access to tax returns in a certain income bracket, but to ALL the Connecticut resident tax returns.

This bill was never voted on in the House. Do you want your tax information privy to the eyes of legislators? I certainly do not.

In the face of discrimination and racial animosity by progressive Democrats for a being a Republican woman of color, Anastasia Yopp has risen to the challenge by professionally running her campaign for the people of her district.

We need to elect legislators like herself to represent the 20th District of our state allowing her voice to be the voice of the people on November 8th.
