So, the governor of MT has already declared a state of emergency and put Montanans in a
lockdown and declared all non-essential work to be shut down. Now, we have the cities insideof the states wanting to do the same thing? Would some one care to explain to my 2 children
who have been in lockdown at home for over 3 weeks now, hungry and in hardship that theirparents jobs are non-essential and that is why we are at home, haven't had a paycheck, are
falling behind on bills, (let alone just trying to provide for the essentials we need.) Let's put acurfew on top of the lockdown! And if anyone breaks the curfew, let's fine them, because God
knows since I have no job, no income coming in I will surely be able to pay the fine, Not! I amokay with applying for federal funding, but I am not ok with more of my rights being taken
away. Is it possible to declare state of emergency to qualify for federal funding withoutallowing law enforcement to restrict more of our freedom?
