Re: Defending Constitutional Rights of Pennsylvanians

29 April 2020 | Senate and House of Pennsylvania | Letter to Attorney General Barr |

 

“..As you explained in your memorandum, “the Constitution is not suspended in times of crisis.” The freedoms enshrined in that hallowed document are perhaps most importantly honored during times of crisis. We ask your attention to ensuring the constitutional rights of Pennsylvanians to work, speak, defend themselves, and worship remain inviolate.”
