COVID19 NOTICE: After much research and study of the science, the data, and the virus, Rick has chosen to "Live Not By Lies." While there are many opinions about masks and other non-pharmaceutical interventions, there is only one set of actual facts. The masks are nothing more than virtue signaling at best, symbols of control at worst, and unquestionably causing more health risk and harm than good. Rick's conscience will not let him participate in the perpetuation of the greatest fraud on the American people that has ever occurred. The deaths, psychological damage, economic destruction, and societal division created by the fiasco of the government response (NOT by the virus) has gone on too long and Rick passionately opposes anything that continues to encourage people to live by dehumanizing fear and prevent the basic human interaction needed for a functioning society. Therefore, if speaking at your event requires covid testing, contact tracing, masking, or any other unwarranted "protocol," Rick will be unable to participate. *
