@GovBillLee why didn’t they fish? Just a bunch of lazy greedy people ehh?

[Rep. Gloria Johnson @VoteGloriaJ]

This is the thing @GovBillLee, you aren't seeing their names, but I am. They are baring their soul to a stranger because they are fighting for their families. It takes such courage. Can you find the courage to do the right thing and keep these families in tact?

[Rep. Gloria Johnson @VoteGloriaJ]

Well @GovBillLee, I hope you are still with us, these folks are pleading for you to do the right thing, are you listening? Will you cut off this family's lifeline?

[Rep. Gloria Johnson @VoteGloriaJ]

I’ve lost just about everything because of this pandemic and now trying to start over at my age is very hard and it is a very defeating feeling everything I worked so hard for is just gone!

[Rep. Gloria Johnson @VoteGloriaJ]

I am turning 50 in a few days and single so I am my only income no one wants to hire someone my age and being a woman and I’m sorry but I am not cut out for working fast food at my age not to mention it will not be enough to pay my bills.

[Rep. Gloria Johnson @VoteGloriaJ]

then everything shut down, although bars and things are open it’s still slow with all the festivals, sporting events and concerts are still not back to where they were.

[Rep. Gloria Johnson @VoteGloriaJ]

something @GovBillLee has no clue about, Not to mention none of us asked for the pandemic to happen I was doing just fine as an independent contractor making bank driving for uber and Lyft in Nashville

[Rep. Gloria Johnson @VoteGloriaJ]

then when I turned 14 I had my very first job on the books as a sonic drive in car hop for under $3 an hour, and have worked ever since. I am not afraid of hard work because I’ve actually done a little bit of everything in my life time

[Rep. Gloria Johnson @VoteGloriaJ]

I was the oldest of three girls my mom was a single mom I helped with my sisters, then at 12 I gave up my summers and was ready on the back of a truck at 3 AM and chopped cotton for two summers in a row.

[Rep. Gloria Johnson @VoteGloriaJ]

10. Hello just wanted to share a little, not all of us fall under Bill Lee’s assumption of being lazy some of us have fished for our own food even as a child!

[Rep. Gloria Johnson @VoteGloriaJ]

5. I know, and it's like a lot of us you know have compromised immune systems or our children do even like I'm now homeschooling both of my children which I've never even considered homeschooling in and it came to that.

[Rep. Gloria Johnson @VoteGloriaJ]

Do you see the choices folks are being forced in to with your decision @GovBillLee? Do you see how TN families are being asked to put themselves and others in harms way. Are you going to cut this mom's lifeline?

[Rep. Gloria Johnson @VoteGloriaJ]

I really don’t know what else to do. You can definitely use my name and my story. Maybe I will look like a bad person but what else am I supposed to do.

[Rep. Gloria Johnson @VoteGloriaJ]

My family has to eat. We have to keep our lights on. And my daughter will have to attend a daycare or stay with my elderly father. She’s sicker than I am but a few aspirin will get her in the door of a daycare and I guess we can sort things out after my work shift.

[Rep. Gloria Johnson @VoteGloriaJ]

With benefits ending in the week idk what to do other than pop some aspirin and Benadryl and rejoin the workforce with COVID. My family has to eat.

[Rep. Gloria Johnson @VoteGloriaJ]

4. Hi. I have a five year old daughter. I got vaccinated as soon as possible because honestly we’ve got to get out of the house. We’ve been out to eat like five times since, and in doing so we’ve caught COVID.

[Rep. Gloria Johnson @VoteGloriaJ]

President Biden has given us aid and now Governor Lee thinks he can put a time as when to say when we can and should return to work. It doesn't work like that. Thank you for your time.

[Rep. Gloria Johnson @VoteGloriaJ]

I hope you read this one @GovBillLee and are in tears as I am. Are you going to help this woman or will you cut off her lifeline? @NC5 @WSMV

[Rep. Gloria Johnson @VoteGloriaJ]

So any help you can give or guidance is appreciated and people need to realize this has costs thousands of us a lose of who we once were. We don't want a handout, we want to be given a chance.
