Hoosiers, you are so powerful!

Thank you for your action in all of this! 

A big thank you to all of our donors, they make the text messages possible. 

If it weren't for our ability to quickly alert our members and their swift action I don't believe this victory would be possible.

Ideas:
If you have personal testimony share it. If you need ideas consider elaborating on 1-3 of the following:

1. No reason for scannable code other than vax pass. Indiana has “vaccine passport ban” but scannable codes would be viewed as contributing to the use of vaccine passports.
2. Parents can already get PIN from MD to access CHIRP/MyVaxIndiana and print records.
3. How vaccine requirements limited your free movement during COVID.
4. Government enabled vaccine passports. Not required by government directly but through requirements on businesses. (like we saw during COVID).
5. What your concerns are.
6. Violation of constitutional right to be secure in papers.
7. Contribution to ushering in Nanny state
8. How Vax passports will disproportionately impact minorities who are hesitant based on historical maltreatment.

Your email does not have to be long. I would encourage you to keep it to 3-5 paragraphs, and try to keep it under 10-15 sentences. Think about the number of emails that they are hopefully getting. If you need a template check the one out below.

Currently there are not any vaccination bills on the schedule. We have been receiving questions about HB 1198 Decriminalizing HIV Donations. Despite this bill being outside our scope, we thought we should address it due to the concerns of the community.

Representative Wendy McNamara and the Courts & Criminal Code committee will hear “HB 1198 Decriminalizing HIV Donations” authored by Rep. McNamara.

Yep, you read that right. McNamara will remove criminal penalties for those who knowingly and recklessly donate bodily fluids while infected with HIV.

What good can come from decriminalizing HIV donations?

What kind of people is McNamara protecting from criminal penalties?

Who in their right mind has HIV and donates bodily fluids known to transmit the communicable and potentially deadly disease?

HIV donation supporters, like McNamara, will claim that testing is still completed to limit the use of HIV infected fluids, however, why should resources be wasted collecting these donations for them to be wasted?

If this legislation is concerning to you, call the committee and tell them
“Vote no on HB1198 Decriminalizing HIV Donations.”

Social pressure resulted in forced and coerced vaccination during COVID.

The American Government manipulated private businesses into doing their dirty work by requiring vaccines or masks for entry.

Indiana has a supposed “vaccine passport ban” and legislators would like you to believe they don’t want vaccine passports.

However, as we have seen the vaccine passport ban has done NOTHING to help Hoosiers.

Legislators still claim they want Medical Liberty…

Is that how they really feel?


Hoosiers will soon find out. 


Wednesday January 18th, SB 47 “Vax Pass Lite” will be heard in committee.

This legislation requires IDOH to provide a QR code or scannable barcode within 14 days of request.

An inside source told us that the purpose is “simply for the transfer of school records.” Citing that parents are requesting the change because CHIRP is slow and the receiving school will not accept the student until they have the vaccination records.

Currently, parents can access and print records from the CHIRP database themselves through MyVaxIndiana. Or at least that is what the Indiana Department of Health (IDOH) website shows….

Legislators who vote in support of SB 47, “Vax Pass Lite” are either ignorant, or could care less about your constitutional rights.

Legislators will tell you that the QR code containing your vaccine records is voluntary. However, COVID taught us otherwise.Does Senator Danoto understand that parents can currently access their children's records?

Parents DO NOT need a scan-able barcode or QR code. 

The minor “convenience” of having a QR code does not over ride the constitutional right to be secure in papers.

Hoosiers do not want to participate in vaccine passports.

The government's history of manipulation and corporate bullying to control citizens coupled with the insight that parents can already easily access their child's records for school transfer paints a clear picture…

The only purpose for this bill is to usher in vaccine passports.

Legislators who vote in support of SB 47, “Vax Pass Lite” are either ignorant, or could care less about your constitutional rights.

Legislators will tell you that the QR code containing your vaccine records is voluntary. However, COVID taught us otherwise.

To testify

Wednesday you will need to be at the State House on Wednesday at 9am and fill out an appearance form. Typically, you can complete the appearance form online (if that link doesn’t work click on the bright blue “Appearance Form” link under the committee name) at midnight the night before up until testimony time.  I encourage completing as soon as possible. 

You can learn more about testifying and navigating the State House with the second video here.

I look forward to seeing you at there!

Attacks on Medical Liberty are around every corner.

Last year, Indiana legislature legalized discrimination against those using religious exemptions for the COVID vaccine.

As a result of their BAD BILL, HB1001, Hoosiers were forced into up to twice weekly testing by their employers.

There is HOPE on the horizon.

I spoke with Representative Becky Cash, former frontline Medical Liberty Activist about the issue.  She reported that removing the discrimination has been on her radar since the bill was passed, prior to her election.

Representative Cash worked closely with Hoosiers for Medical Liberty drafting 10 pieces of legislation for us this year.

We both wondered, “How can we have Medical Liberty if discrimination is written into Indiana Law.”

Ultimately, we both knew that “COVID Anti-Discrimination” was top priority and she officially filed “HB 1127- The Covid Anti-Discrimination Bill” that removes the discriminatory language from the law.

The bill also clarifies the exemption language ensuring that nursing and other medical students entering clinical sites and subject to CMS mandates are granted the same Title VII protections as employees.

There is no time to waste.

We need HB1127 “COVID Anti-Discrimination” NOW! 

BUT, history has shown us that our legislators have no intention of protecting your Medical Liberty without pressure from YOU!
Representative Cash needs your help to get attention to this bill.

Leadership would love nothing more than if this slipped away quietly.

Call the leaders of the Employee, Pensions & Labor Committee and tell them:

“HB1127 “COVID Anti-Discrimination” must have a hearing! Hoosiers have the right to be free of discrimination!”

Legislative season started today, and so have the political games.
 
I don’t know about you, but I am sick of political games.

As I was reviewing bills I cam across HB1083, titled “Student Immunizations.”

My heart kind of sank, I got a little nervous as I waited for the page to open…
 
Would they be stripping away our religious exemption.

Would it be a good bill?
 
It finally opened and I was relieved. It wasn’t the removal of our religious exemption. Thank God!
 
It wasn’t a bad bill at all.

BUT was it a Medical Liberty Bill?
 
Sadly, the answer is, not really.
 
The authors are attempting to gain political cover or “political immunization,” but more on that later...

 
This particular bill removes immunization records from high school transcripts and the ability of the health department to make changes to list of vaccinations school children, not using a religious exemption, are to have for attendance.

Let’s break these two things down.
 
First, the removal of immunization records from high school transcripts. This is much needed, an individual’s medical records should not be released without explicit consent. As it stands, this law bypasses the consent process.

I don’t think so, but you should decide.

 If this bill passes-

Students will still have to turn in immunization records.
Students will still face discrimination, if not “up to date.”
Students will still have to fight for religious exemption.
AND students will still be turned away based on vaccination status.

Will this consent process provide Medical Liberty?
No.
This consent process is simply reverting back to the PROPER process.

Part one, good policy, but not advancing medical liberty.

What about the second part?

Removing the ability for the state department of Health to change Indiana law without the vote of our elected legislature.  
 
Do you believe the health department should be able to change state law without the vote of the person YOU elected to create laws?

I don’t.

The legislature was elected to ensure that the voice of the constituents is represented.

Over the past 3 years we have witnessed what happens when the Indiana Department of Health is allowed to rule over the people.

It wasn’t pretty.

This bill does remove some of that power, during normal circumstances, which is the way the law should be.

The answer is no. This is returning the law back to the intended government function.
 
Overall this bill is good policy and I would like to see it passed, however, it should not be confused for “answering the call for Medical Liberty.”
 
This bill is designed to do nothing more than the bare minimum. This is merely “political immunization.”

Jake Teshka representing St. Joe County was the lead author on the bill. He was an outspoken voice for the 2022 bill that legalized religious discrimination through forced testing under the guise of providing exemptions. The exemptions provided little more than what federal law already provide. He received a lot of push back from constituents and faced a Liberty primary challenger May of 2022.

J.D. Prescott from East Central Indiana also signed on to the bill that created law allowing religious discrimination. His constituents were less than pleased and he also faced a Liberty primary challenger in May of 2022.

Chris Judy representing Whitley County and a portion of Allen county, is my personal State Rep.  Chris was a strong supporter of the the 2022 bill legalizing religious discrimination and has faced backlash from constituents for previous Medical Liberty failures in 2021 despite sharing similar personal beliefs.

Medical Liberty is still the hottest subject in the United States. Citizens recognize that this fight is long from over and the CDC is threatening our Medical Liberty more and more every day.

Political Immunization is a play on words. It lends to the thought that legislators might be attempting to inoculate their political careers from a danger.

If Medical Liberty activists fall for this appeasement, “political immunization” is a success.

If Medical Liberty activist recognize the game, they pose political danger to politicians who refuse to advance the cause.
 
Of course, Medical Liberty activists do not condone, support, or encourage violent or threatening behaviors. Medical Liberty activists will simply find someone better for the job. To a politician, being replaced is their political END.

So what now?

There are a lot of things that must happen before this bill moves forward. We will keep you updated along the way. However, we want to make sure that you are aware of tactics being used for “political immunization.”
