MOSSYROCK, WA – A town whose leaders voted unanimously to ignore Washington Governor Jay Inslee’s lockdown orders is holding a rally this weekend to demonstrate solidarity and to send a message to the rest of the state, perhaps even the country.
Mossyrock, WA, with a population of just under 1000, is the small town with the big heart. That heart will be put to the test against the authoritarian rule of the state government as their defiance will likely be met by some sort of rebuke from the Governor’s office. They’re calling for help from patriots who still believe in the U.S. Constitution and the rights therein. According to Seattle journalist Katie Daviscourt:
HUGE: The entire town of Mossyrock, WA will be defying Governor Inslee’s lockdown orders. They are asking for support this Saturday at 12pm.

Last month, leaders voted to defy Inslee’s COVID-19 restrictions on indoor bar and restaurant service. According to the new city ordinance, the city “will not recognize” Inslee’s orders to temporarily prohibit indoor dining, limiting service to outdoor seating or takeout.
A “Freedom Mossyrock Rally” is will be held on Saturday, Dec. 12, at Mossyrock City Hall. According to King5, the Mayor is aware that he technically does not have the authority to overrule the Governor.
“No, we don’t have the authority,” Mossyrock Mayor Randall Sasser said. “It gets the word out, it gets people thinking about really, what is happening?”
Sasser said restrictions should be determined by local health officials, much like local school districts in the state have determined if students return to campuses for in-person learning. He said limiting Mossyrock’s restaurants and bars could put them out of business.
“For businesses to shut down who have given their life savings to open up a business in a small community and then be ordered to shut down and not have any restitution to help them survive, that’s a shame,” Sasser said.
It really comes down to whether state or county officials are willing to go to the small town to enforce the lockdown order since local officials will not. This is why the rally on Saturday is so important. By showing solidarity and getting the word out about strong support for non-compliance, they hope the Governor will avoid a showdown that will bring him bad optics regardless of the results. If enough people can make their voices heard on Saturday, it’s possible the Governor will pick a different hill upon which to die, politically speaking.
As lockdowns continue across the nation over a disease that has over a 99.5% recovery rate, cities like Mossyrock, Washington, represent the true power of the people to resist through non-compliance.
COVID-19 may take down an independent news outlet
Nobody said running a media site would be easy. We could use some help keeping this site afloat.
Colleagues have called me the worst fundraiser ever. My skills are squarely rooted on the journalistic side of running a news outlet. Paying the bills has never been my forte, but we’ve survived. We have ads on the site that help, but since the site’s inception this has been a labor of love that otherwise doesn’t bring in the level of revenue necessary to justify it.
When I left a nice, corporate career in 2017, I did so knowing I wouldn’t make nearly as much money. But what we do at NOQ Report to deliver the truth and fight the progressive mainstream media narrative that has plagued this nation is too important for me to sacrifice it for the sake of wealth. We know we’ll never make a ton of money this way, and we’re okay with that.
Things have become harder with the coronavirus lockdowns. Both ad money and donations that have kept us afloat for a while have dropped dramatically. We thought we could weather the storm, but the so-called “surge” or “2nd-wave” that mainstream media and Democrats are pushing has put our prospects in jeopardy. In short, we are now in desperate need of financial assistance.
The best way NOQ Report readers can help is to donate. Our Giving Fuel page makes it easy to donate one-time or monthly. Alternatively, you can donate through PayPal as well. We need approximately $11,500 to stay afloat for the rest of 2020, but more would be wonderful and any amount that brings us closer to our goal is greatly appreciated.
The second way to help is to become a partner. We’ve strongly considered seeking angel investors in the past but because we were paying the bills, it didn’t seem necessary. Now, we’re struggling to pay the bills. This shouldn’t be the case as our traffic the last year has been going up dramatically. June, 2018, we had 11,678 visitors. A year later in June, 2019, we were up to 116,194. In June, 2020, we had 614,192. We’re heading in the right direction and we believe we’re ready talk to patriotic investors who want to not only “get in on the action” but more importantly who want to help America hear the truth. Interested investors should contact me directly with the contact button above.
Election year or not, coronavirus lockdowns or not, anarchic riots or not, the need for truthful journalism endures. But in these times, we need as many conservative media voices as possible. Please help keep NOQ Report going.
