What to expect:
I am including the recording of the meeting but the blog post below will contain much of the information from the video. Now on to the written details. There is quite a bit here so ...

Everyone agrees Public Health is important. We are not trying to insinuate that it shouldn’t be a priority. BUT IT IS NOT AN EXCUSE FOR FISCAL IRRESPONSIBILITY, A LACK OF TRANSPARENCY OR COMMON SENSE. The purpose of SB4 is to centralize public health creating a top-down approach to ensure “consistent & equitable” public health measures across the country. The intent to use coercion to centralize public health power was clear in the snippets from the Governor’s Public Health Commission meeting on June 30th meeting found here. Legislators claim counties “maintain their authority” while ignoring a gaping loophole. Funding is tied to administrative rules set by the State Department of Health. However the law already requires that the funding be spent on the core public health services. The clause requiring counties to follow administrative rules is unnecessary. Senator Tyler Johnson attended the July 24th 2023 Dekalb commissioners meeting and admitted this was a concern. Especially because administrative rules may be changed, historically, we have seen the health department act with a “heavy hand.” He admits that he voted in opposition of the bill, but disappointingly, he encouraged the County Commissioners to accept the funding. Why would he ask the commissioners to vote yes, when he was unwilling to? When asked, his only response was that these are taxpayer dollars and that we shouldn’t refuse them. Supporters of opting in crowed about the need for more funding with emotional pleas related to the underinsured and homeless. While access to care is a significant issue. Primary care and disease management are not the role of public health. Aligning under-insured with appropriate programs and resources is the solution, not replicating Medicaid programs. Public health is not about disease management, it is PREVENTION. Wittingly or not, their testimonies were proposing an expansion of Medicaid through the public health system. This is a slippery slope towards socialized medicine and bigger government. At present the U.S. spends significantly more than other developed countries and yet has the worst health outcomes. Is it logical to believe that throwing money at this problem will improve the situation? Commissioners should do the fiscally responsible thing, opt out. Give the state legislature an opportunity to fix this mess and ensure a responsible, sustainable, and transparent plan is in place and FREE of financial strings. The additional requirement of following administrative rules could only be for one thing. CONTROL. Accepting this funding with the current requirements will render counties helpless against future lockdowns pushed by the state, federal and even global organizations. You have two action items:
Here is a copy of the testimony I gave at the Dekalb County Commissioner's meeting. Feel free to email, read or print copies and share with your commissioners. I would also like to correct something I said at the commissioners meeting today. I spoke on the amount of funding the county would receive. My calculations were wrong. Though I was reading "match" my brain interpreted it as "co-pay."
The funding listed on the "opt-in amount" is the amount the county will receive from the state and is IN ADDITION to, not including, the county match. That means the calculations I made on the spot were INCREDIBLY wrong. The actual figures make the offer of additional funds nearly impossible to decline. County health departments may see nearly a double in funding the first year and more the following years. One thing was clear, the specifics are not well laid out, the counties do not know their opt-in match nor can they provide specifics on the new budget totals. This does not change the risk to liberty that these funds include. In fact, this information may add an additional level of concern. Clearly there is incredible motivation to ensure consistent, sustainable, and equitable public health measures. I cannot place a price on freedom or our constitution, however not all feel the same way. We are definitely fighting an uphill battle but that does not mean we quit. We must keep fighting, we must push through. Even if your county has opted in, GATHER YOUR NEIGHBORS and go tell the commission to opt out before receiving any funds. What you will find below: SB4- Public Health Commission in your county Spellers Showings ‘The Big Catch-up’ Vaccination campaign VAERS Education Update Next Legislative Season  SB4- Public Health Commission in your county. Initial meetings have been had in most counties setting up the accounts to receive funding. This does not mean that the county has necessarily opted in, but that is sure to come by September. As you can see by the photo above, about 1/3 of the Counties in Indiana have opted in. What do we do about this? We have already done so much, but there is still more work on the horizon. Be sure that you are staying up to date on the issue and talking with your county commissioners and county councilmen about concerns moving forward. Download our last update and get your commissioners to acknowledge and agree to transparency and fiscal responsibility. If we don't communicate with them about the dangers that come with this bill they will never know. If, or WHEN, our concerns come to light we will be able to point back to these requests and force change. If constituents are unable to ensure sovereignty of the county, they may choose to replace those elected responsible for the implementation of these programs. If we don't speak up now, it will be more difficult to hold them accountable later! ** We are working on gathering more information. You can help by asking your county how much the county pays into the public health department. You are NOT looking for the Health Department's budget, but how much of the health department's budget comes directly from the county. Fort Wayne SPELLERS Screening!

We will pay the screening fee but are looking for FREE or low budget locations to host. "The BIG CATCH-UP" There has been quite a buzz about Chelsea Clinton talking about the WHO "BIG CATCH-UP." This program is supported by all the usual suspects including the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and is working to improve the slump in vaccinations caused by the pandemic. Worse yet, "The BIG CATCH-UP" is only a part of Immunization Agenda 2030. We encourage you to visit the website and review it. Then compare to SB4... What does this mean for us? It means that vaccination pressure will continue to mount. With the additional funding coming into our counties via SB4 we may see an increase in school vaccine clinics. We have already been getting emails about parents who are being told by schools that vaccinations are required for enrollment. The schools are NOT mentioning religious or medical exemptions and have a very threatening tone. We must be educating our communities. Download the infographic below and share it in your community. We will also be adding it to our social media outlets but we are being heavily censored by big tech, your dissemination of this info is tremendously helpful.  We have been keeping our ear to the ground and it is looking like the state will be moving to accept additional funding for vaccinations during next legislative session. According to "Vaccinate Indiana" FY22 resulted in over $5 million in "Section 317 funds." The group is already mobilizing activists to email legislators to ensure the funding is there. Hoosiers we must also mobilize. We need to ensure our legislature, local school boards, & county health departments understand that we do not want vaccination clinics in our schools and we especially do not approve of hosting them during school hours. Could you spare an hour a month to meet with or call your officials? One of the reason H4ML has been so successful is because of YOUR willingness to participate. If you are scared or unsure what to say, use this download to help you plan your visit. It was designed for communicating with legislators but you can modify it for your county elect, and health departments. VAERS Education  VAERS Project is still swinging strong educating healthcare professionals about VAERS for FREE. So many people are surprised when they find out this information is available at no cost. We do ask for donations to support the project. Our monthly donors have provided such an amazing gift by ensuring this important information can get in the hands of everyone, for FREE. We are committed to ensuring this remains the case. For those wanting more information, Ashley has created comprehensive courses covering the topic of VAERS from a more holistic perspective through her company Wellness Through Awareness. There are three different course tracks

While we are still working on our complete plans for legislative action, we already know one of our priorities will be ensuring fiscal responsibility and transparency regarding what was passed in SB4 (now SEA4) in 2023. If you would like to weigh in on what you feel our MEDICAL LIBERTY legislative priority should be click here and let us know! Surprise... I added a hidden section.
We would like to have a comprehensive " Medical Liberty Bookshelf" with recommended reading. Could you help us out and submit your favorite books? We are also considering adding a bigger merch shop... what would you like to see? Would you be interested in a t-shirt design contest? Let us know in the comments. In Liberty, The H4ML Team Your county will be voting to start the process of accepting the money from SB4. It will be done by July 1st, we must take immediate action. I have tried to make this as easy as possible for you. Use the download above and demand transparency and fiscal responsibility prior to accepting the funding. It does not matter if the county has already started the process. Keep pushing for this transparency and make sure the citizens are being heard and REPRESENTED. It is not too late, we must keep fighting the idea of "Medicaid for all."

If anyone wants to volunteer to collect all of the Health Department's websites I will post them, but I am not committing to keeping it updated. It might also be worth while to collect the website of the county commissioners and county councils as well. I would HAPPILY post that on here. Before you start reach out to me and I will send you a spreadsheet to plug the information into. It is imperative to communicate with your county elect now!! They could start the planning phases on these measures soon. Download the call to action and demand accountability. **the video may take a moment to load
It is hard to believe that the entire meeting was less than one minute! If I hadn't watched it myself I wouldn't believe it. There is NO INFORMATION in the meeting. . Hoosiers have no way of knowing what changes were made. Worse yet, the committee report was not published as of 7am Wed. Is the legislature hiding behind closed doors? Do they think that you can't hold them accountable if you don't witness their actions? Hoosiers, if so, they are sorely mistaken. Accountability happens during election season. Phone calls during legislative season are communication.
The members of this committee removed your ability to understand changes to the bill prior to its last vote. Were they hoping they could stop you? We have no choice but to assume the changes were anti-Liberty. Call your State Senator & State Representative today. Tell them: "Kill SB4. Anything other than a no vote is a vote against Liberty. Kill SB4." Need help finding your legislators? Text 260-286-0988 the word FIND  🚨☎️Action needed for SB4! ☎️🚨 Call the following legislators and tell them: “Hoosiers do not approve of SB4.

Anything goes in conference committee. Legislators actually call it the "wild west" because you never know what is going to happen.
This bill could be drastically changed for the worse, and we need to make our voices heard once again. We must rally and continue to pressure them. In my experience I don’t think a lot of activism happens during conference committee and this may be pretty shocking. It is a pivotal time and by us showing large numbers in this crucial committee it will only validate the fact that HOOSIERS ARE WATCHING. Legislators should know that if we are watching and taking action now, they can certainly expect it come time for the 2024 primaries. H4ML does not endorse, support, or oppose any candidate, however we will continue report on the issue and the shortcomings of the state legislators. It will then be the constituents who drive this home and really create accountability. We hope you will help us do this by becoming a WATCHDOG. What is conference committee?
Again, conference committee is called the “wild west” because anything is possible. Bills only come to conference committee when a bill passes through the chambers (house & senate) and both chambers do not agree on the amended language.
After the bill is changed in the second chamber the author will either “concur” or in this case they will “dissent” or disagree with the changes. The originating chamber will then vote and “adopt” the “dissent.” Once that occurs the “Conferees” and “Advisors” will be appointed from both chambers representing both the democratic and republican parties. A meeting date will be set and the “Conferees” & “Advisors” will work to change the bill and come up with a “conference committee report.” Once the changes are made it will go back to both chambers and they will vote to adopt the “conference committee report.” There is NOT an opportunity for any more changes, it is simply a yes or no vote. That means YOUR legislators will be voting on this bill again and could benefit from your phone calls with the same message as above. What is amendment #9?
Amendment #9 is a no nonsense amendment that would create transparency and require the IDOH to provide information to the public about the rules, metrics, and an opt out procedure for participation in the additional funding, 30 days prior to the counties vote to accept funding.
The amendment also requires a renewal vote every two years by the county executive. SB4 went for second reading today. This means that the bill has passed through a committee and was open for amendments from any member of the House of Representatives. There were 29 different amendments filed on the bill and remarkably 10 of them were “called down” by their author. Despite the FLURRY of activity, the bill is still the dangerous foundation for centralized public health and an ever-bloating budget. More on this below… SB4 will be voted on Monday. ☎️🚨☎️🚨☎️🚨☎️ Call your State Rep and tell them:
“Speak out publicly against SB4. VOTE NO. It is too controversial." 💬Need help finding their info? Text 260-286-0988 the word: FIND SB4 will be heard on Tuesday April 11th in committee. There will not be any testimony. The committee will be amending and voting on the bill. Your calls are imperative. The previous committee claims that this bill protects county autonomy, however there are still many risks with this bill. Tell them: “SB4 was built with the intent to coerce public health centralization. Tax dollars will be haphazardly spent, without a plan to ensure a wise investment. The Public Health Overhaul is controversial & must go to summer study session. Vote No.“ Cherry & Thompson 317-232-9651 Barrett, Snow & Slager 317-234-2993 Smaltz & Prescott 317-234-9499 Judy 317-232-9863 Heine 317-232-9648 Baird 317-232-9981 Mayfield 317-232-9620 Clere (317) 232-9769 The committee is pretty big, if you wish to make additional calls please follow up below.

H4ML first started working to put an end to vaccine discrimination within the foster care system in the summer of 2022. During the special session, H4ML activists applied pressure to legislators demanding loving foster care homes be opened. More on this later! We launched a petition and heard story after story of loving families working through the process to become licensed foster homes only to be denied at the last moment. These families were not denied because their homes were unfit. These families were denied solely based on the vaccination status of family members. Indiana has a shortage of foster families, and yet loving homes were being denied based on vaccine discrimination. H4ML was determined to help children in need and the families ready to welcome them into their homes. Passing legislation on controversial issues like vaccination status doesn’t just happen. It takes diligent work and political respect… Political respect isn’t about building relationships. Political respect is a result of consistent accountability… and sometimes fear. Well, perhaps, mostly fear. When politicians begin to fear that they will lose their seats for failing to live up to campaign promises and the requirement of REPRESENTING constituents, they begin to take action. This legislative victory, defeating vaccination discrimination, is the direct result of Hoosiers stepping up, clearly communicating, and being consistent in fighting for medical liberty. You all should be very proud of yourselves! Many, myself included, were worried about what Medical Liberty legislation would look like this year without our tried and true champions, Representative Curt Nisly & Representative John Jacob. I truly miss working with these gentlemen on the “inside.” They were fearless in their defense of Medical Liberty, never hesitating to file amendments and do the difficult things. These champions were able to rack up several roll call votes (more on this important topic soon) and by working with H4ML we were able to effectively force legislative change like the “vaccine passport ban” in 2021, and HB1001 “COVID exemptions” in 2022. Moving forward after their loss, we knew things would be different in the legislature, but the legacy of their diligent work and political respect lives on. H4ML will continue to utilize the hard work of Rep Nisly & Rep Jacob for years to come. This years legislative success is proof that the GOP establishment cannot take away the power of the people by removing great Legislators. This is a milestone for Hoosiers! Let’s talk about diligence and political respect. In August, H4ML applied pressure, and Rep Chris Judy offered up an amendment allowing religious exemptions for potential foster families but quickly withdrew it. The GOP establishment made idle promises that the bill would be heard in committee during the 2023 session if he withdrew. He believed them. We met with Judy, as he is my representative, and he insisted that nothing more than exemptions could be done. I was not satisfied with this answer. I took my preferred language to newly elected Senator Dr. Tyler Johnson. This language would prevent vaccine status discrimination from occurring for foster families and adoptive families. NO. EXEMPTIONS. NEEDED. Dr. Johnson felt that the language was appropriate and agreed to have the bill written. It was filed at SB 272. Unfortunately, this bill died in committee. Judy also filed his foster care exemptions bill and it never received a hearing, despite the promises made to him in August. We can only conclude that either Judy did not have the political respect of his peers, or he really never intended to work on eliminating discriminatory practices from foster care. Some might suggest that BOTH of these are true. February 9th, Indiana DCS sent out an administrative letter (found here) stating that DCS would no longer limit foster homes based on the vaccination status of foster family members. We knew this was nothing more than appeasement. Administrative letters can be overturned in the blink of an eye and mean very little in the way of political success for controversial issues. But why would DCS & the Governor go through the trouble of issuing this letter? The week before the letter was issued, H4ML exposed the plans of the Governor & his Public Health Commission to centralize public health using coercive means for counties wishing to be autonomous. The Indy Star published an article titled “Will Eric Holcomb’s COVID lockdown kill his public health overhaul?” Gov. Holcomb & the Establishment were feeling the political power of H4ML activists. Holcomb needed political cover. He needed to make Hoosiers feel a sense of safety. He severely underestimated the voracity of Hoosier’s drive for Medical Liberty. Hoosiers were not going to be fooled by the false promise of Liberty. In an effort to double down and move forward with true protections, H4ML began looking for places to insert the language that was now supported by DCS into a bill. The legislature had no excuse not to pass this language. H4ML had also been working with Representative Becky Cash & Representative Lorissa Sweet, they agreed that removing discrimination was important. H4ML identified HB 1560 “Adoption” as a potential home for the foster care legislation. Representative Sweet applied 3 different amendments encompassing foster care and adoption. Representative Cash applied 2 amendments addressing vaccine discrimination in adoption. Ultimately the amendments were not called. However, the Reps were told by other members of the house that they felt the language could be added to another bill. That same week Rep. Sweet obtained a roll call vote on another controversial issue, solidifying her political power. Roll call votes are imperative! (We will create another post about this soon!) Rep Sweet showed the rest of the house that she was not afraid to do the right thing and expose legislators who would vote against good legislation if they could get away with it. Representative Sweet is a credible threat to the corruption within the statehouse. As it would have it March 15th the language Rep Sweet offered as an amendment encompassing both foster care and adoption was added into SB 345. If it weren’t for the political respect that Rep Sweet garnered through that roll call vote, the pressure exerted by H4ML Activists on multiple fronts, and Rep Sweet & Rep Cash pushing the others to apply the amendment, and the looming threat of another roll call vote- this legislative victory might not have happened. You will not be politically respected until you are politically feared. That is the bottom line. No political respect unless there is political fear.
This could all disappear in an instant. If politicians do not fear losing their seats, they will not truly represent the will of the people. How do we ensure continued success?
Session is wrapping up, but we have work to do! Tell Barrett: 317-234-2993 Ledbetter: 317-234-9139 King: 317-232-9657 Hostettler: 317-234-9452 Schaibley 317-232-9833 “SB4 must go to summer study. It is controversial and based on coercion, as seen in the June 30th meeting.” PAUSE, let them speak. Then say: “Past legislation hasn’t protected Hoosiers from COVID Discrimination. They are being denied jobs & forced to mask because of religious beliefs. These policies are not based on science. The Rep must add 1127 & protections against discriminatory masking on SB474.” SB4 info: h4ml.org/blog/lipstick-on-a-pig Discrimination info: h4ml.org/blog/stop-covid-discrimination UPDATES!! SB4 will be heard in committee tomorrow. There will NOT be testimony, however your phone calls are imperative. The committee must hear from Hoosiers yet again and understand that we will not being going away! We included two important issues on this call to action. The session will wrap up soon and deadlines are approaching. All bills must be heard on 3rd reading by April 17th & 18th. That means that the last realistic date for SB4 (Public Health Commission) to be heard in committee is tomorrow or next Tuesday. We will keep up on this. When this is heard there will not be an option for testimony. However, if SB4 does pass through committee it must be voted on 2 more times! It would be WISE to start calling your personal State Rep.If you have not been calling your Rep about this issue, now is the time. If/When SB4 passes, your Rep will vote. They need to understand that a YES vote equates to supporting tyranny & coercion. Tell your Rep: "VOTE NO ON SB4, it must go to a summer study committee." Make sure they know how to access the videos from the June 30th meeting. If you need help finding out who your Rep is, text 260-286-0988 the word: FIND Discrimination? Over the last couple weeks we have been getting a steady stream of reports about discrimination in the workplace. Hoosiers are once again reporting that hospital systems are removing masks from the vaccinated and only requiring those using religious or medical exemption to mask. **If you have experienced discrimination please share your story with us here. These policies are not based in science. It is common knowledge that the COVID vaccine does not prevent infection, transmission, hospitalization, or death. These employees are being targeted for their religious beliefs. Their personal health choices are being exposed to their peers and the community. As recent history has shown, this type of policy is used as a means of coercion generating peer pressure to elicit the desired response (vaccination). It is not clear if all employees released from masking are "up to date" on vaccination. The CDC is telling American's that received their last COVID vaccine before September 2022 that they are due for their updated Booster. Are those not "protected" by the "updated booster" allowed to go without a mask? There are certainly a lot of variables but since Jan 2021 we have known that natural immunity is enduring and HOPED that the vaccines would do the same. We must end discrimination.

Your donation of $10, $25, or even $50 is greatly appreciated! HB1001, the state budget bill will be heard Thursday 3/30.  Please make phone calls as below.
This bill is funding the initiatives in SB4 or the Governor’s Public Health Commission bill. While a bulk of the language from the commission was taken out it still funds “partnerships” between state and county public health and moving towards centralization. Make your phone calls, tell the appropriations committee that: “Hoosiers do not want centralized public health as directed by HB1001.

Discrimination has to end! Recently I have been getting messages from people reporting discrimination based on their COVID vaccination status. Some have sent in information about continued testing. MANY are reporting that their employer is singling them out with masks. We know that the vaccines do not stop infection, transmission, hospitalization, or even death. How does any of this make sense? It doesn't. In 2022, HB1001 was passed and Hoosiers are STILL told that this bill is to "protect their right to decline the COVID vaccine." Watch more at h4ml.org/gphcshorts The bad news is, the bill was poorly written and actually codified religious discrimination through testing. This is a HUGE problem. The bill also excluded students in medical professions from protections. Rep Becky Cash wrote a bill, HB1127, that would have corrected the major issues with 2022's HB1001. The bill died in committee without so much as a hearing. We were incredibly disappointed. The good news is that there is an opportunity to put this same language in another bill! Will you help us end COVID discrimination? Use the info below to complete the call to action. ☎️ Call ☎️ Cindy Ledbetter 317-234-9139 Matt Hostettler 317-234-9452 Joanna King 317-232-9657 Donna Schaibley 317-232-9833 Tell them: "Offer the language from 1127 into SB474 during Public Health Committee. Sen. Johnson, the author is on board & Rep Cash has already drafted the amendment, but you must file it. It would correct workforce issues related to COVID Discrimination." 💥💥Call today, this bill could be heard as early as tomorrow! ☎️ Call ☎️ Brad Barrett 317-234-2993 (Chair of the Committee) "Hear 474, and get 1127 into SB474 during committee. Sen. Johnson, the author is on board & Rep Cash has already drafted the amendment. It would correct workforce issues related to COVID Discrimination." Are you wondering what this language will do, and how it fits into the bill? SB 474 deals with workforce. According to the summary, the bill removes physicals and drug testing of nurses to facilitate workforce. We all know the mandates and discrimination around the COVID vaccine have significantly impacted nursing workforce. HB1127 is a workforce issue and the Speaker, Todd Huston, agrees as evidence by the fact that the bill was sent to pensions and labor committee. It should be germame (pertinent to the bill) for this reason. However, germaneness rule should not apply since we are asking that this language be applied in committee. This is the ONLY chance that we will have to get the discriminatory testing removed this year. It must be done NOW. This amendment supports the improvement of nursing work force in 2 ways. First in the short term, we have nurses leaving jobs because of the mandates and we have future nurses who are being denied clinical placement. They have been denied exemptions because of a small oversight and the language from 1127 will remedy the oversight. The remedy simply mirrors the medical provider section to the rest of the bill without putting entities in danger of a violation of federal laws/requirements. Secondly, The language also addresses testing. We have reports of employees leaving their employer because of frequent testing. Some nurses faced serious issues with nose bleeds and tissue damage. This language strikes balance, because it does not limit the ability of the employer to those who are showing symptoms or have had high risk exposure. It adds evidence based practices to testing. Thank you for your continued work towards Medical Liberty. Ashley The Health Committee must hear from you.  Some would have you believe that SB4 is salvageable. SB4 is GARBAGE! It isn't a secret, and everyone recognizes that applying amendments is nothing more than a band-aid. The bad news is that SB4 was built off the guidance of a group selected by Governor Holcomb. These wanna be elites exposed themselves on June 30th, 2022 as arrogant and manipulative individuals, hell bent on coercing the counties into financial bondage. The commission laid their entire plan out on recorded meeting. What kind of wheeling and dealing do you think is happening behind closed doors? For the sake of Liberty, SB4 must die. Call the Public Health Committee and tell them: "Kill SB 4. It is just too controversial. If nothing else, send it to summer study."

Update on SB4 following committee hearing 3/14 after only 22 hour notice. ____________________________________________________ They say politics move slow, I disagree. All of these things take time and energy. I am doing my best to keep up but this may be messy for a bit. Thanks for your understanding. Concerns: The doubling of required core public health services. Get rid of them. (See h4ml.org/gphcshorts video # 4) Current statutes are part of the areas where the state is failing. We have had programs in place for years re: maternal fetal health and NOTHING to show for it. Our rates are abysmal. Why don't we do studies to identify root cause instead of throwing money at the same old things and hoping for something different. Clearly, what we are doing isn't enough... If there need to be additional core public health measures, then require the counties to do a focused needs assessment and drive public health measures based on issues identified by the people working on the ground. These counties know the needs of their communities, let them do what they do best. This could be accounted for in the way of grants. "We identify --- need. Our current situation is ---. We feel that interventions --- will address the issue and get us to (SMART goal), and we anticipate a cost of $$$." The total amount of grants could be distributed based on the calculations in the current bill and as long as the county is completing the fiscal and showing forward progression on current smart goals and statutes they can increase the amount per capita over the course of time. Graduated increase in funding directly correlated to results. THAT IS FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE. The beauty of this plan is that it would empower communities, and then cooperative learning and collaboration could take place based on success. Counties could be highlighted to explain the problem as above, evaluate the interventions, and make recommendations on what they would have done differently or what they learned along the way. Other counties can look at these presentations, take what they feel would work for them and develop county specific interventions so they are tailored to individual needs. (Vaping vs. tobacco vs marijuana) We have concerns over the cart blanche delegation of authority to the CDC through IDOH to write rules (moving the goalposts) for what constitutes compliance for counties who opt in to funding. (Addressed in the 6/30 videos) Everything that was disaster about the original bill language could be promulgated by CDC through IDOH utilizing the rule-making process. They are expected to opt in before these rules are written, and there is no language that clarifies what happens if they later opt out. Despite Sen. Kenly stated there was an opt-out provision today. For example, County X opts in and 3 months in "the next pandemic" strikes, resulting in rules changes BY IDOH. The county decides that they are going to go against their new rule. Does home rule still apply? This is perplexing because they technically can decline but then they are in violation of Pg 26 line 31. Does the county lose funding or does home rule apply? (H4ML.org/gphcshorts video #2) What is the procedure for leaving, and what happens when they do? (No funding moving forward; expected to refund previous funding; fines; etc etc) Do the counties know they aren't required to apply? At what point do "public education campaigns" as suggested by Senator Brooks become coercion? Honestly, this recommendation sounds a lot like the IDOH is planning a tattle tail situation. (See h4ml.org/gphcshorts video #5) I didn't see anything addressing funding for counties who don't opt in. Are they then on their own? In a previous version, there was at least a statement regarding those counties getting the same funding as the year prior. This did not account for inflation or population changes and should be addressed. If the plan isn't to force participation, this should be immediately addressed and a plan for those counties should be arranged. One might suggest continuing to use the old model and adjusting for inflation and the availability for grants to address specific needs. Call to action Great Job, the legislature is showing signs of political respect for Medical Liberty! We have the chance to kill ❌ the Governor's Public Health Commission! Do not back down!

Congrats Hoosiers!!
You forced Gov. Holcomb to take drastic action! Governor Holcomb is TERRIFIED that his public health COERCION… oops, commission could FAIL! He and his commission watched as Hoosiers decimated "SB47 VaxPass Lite in committee." Hoosiers for Medical Liberty Activists are so effective at putting pressure on the legislature that something DRASTIC had to be done. That is precisely what Gov. Holcomb did. Today, February 9th, 2023, Indiana DCS sent out an administrative letter (found here) stating that DCS would no longer limit foster homes based on the vaccination status of foster family members. While this is a step in the right direction, make no mistake, this is simply appeasement! DO NOT BE FOOLED. This internal policy can be changed at any time and is not legally binding. These changes have been requested for years, and loving homes will now be opened to foster children. BUT that could disappear in an instant, as early as next week!! The ONLY explanation for this is that they need Hoosiers to back down. Holcomb needs to make you BELIEVE that he has good intentions at heart. He needs to appeal to your “sensible” side. REMEMBER HOOSIERS, REMEMBER what happened during COVID. Do you remember being shut out of your churches? Do you remember being limited on how you could conduct your business? Do you remember the distress of your children as they were forced out of schools? Do you see how your children’s education has suffered? What about their mental and emotional health? Have you witnessed the damage to social and behavioral norms? Do you remember contact tracing and the violation of privacy? Hoosiers, we must press on! An administrative letter is not enough. If Gov. Holcomb truly wants foster homes open, he needs to push for legislation to do this. Fortunately Hoosiers for Medical Liberty has been working on this since last session! We pushed for SB 272 “Foster anti-discrimination”. It will ensure vaccine discrimination does not interfere with foster care or adoption. When asking for what legal implementation “Cronies” will tell you, “These things take time…” “You need to be reasonable...” Hoosiers, it is reasonable to want legal protection. Hoosier children should not be shut out of safe and loving homes. Call Senator Greg walker now! Sen. Greg Walker 317-232-9984 Tell him: “Hear and vote on SB 272 the “Foster Care Anti-Discrimination” bill. Gov. Holcomb & DCS issued a letter that must be backed by this legislation.” Get the above sent to your phone, text 260-286-0988 the code 272 In Liberty, Ashley P.S. Don't forget to call Heath VanNatter 317-234-9499 and tell him to "Hear and vote on 1127 to END COVID Discrimination!" P.S.S- Don't miss the latest update from Forti-fy podcast reviewing YOUR success with SB47! Will Indiana institute Vaccine Passports? SB47 VaxPass Lite will be heard in committee again this Wednesday, February 8th. Citizen testimony will not be heard, but the bill will be amended and voted on. Be sure to call the Senate Health & Provider Services Committee and tell them: “Vote NO on SB 47 VaxPass Lite. SB47 violates IC 16-39-11. Excuses for voting yes will not be accepted.” Donato & Crider 317-234-9054 Charbonneau & Becker 317-232-9494 Busch 317-232-9488 Bohacek 317-232-9541 Breaux 317-232-9847 Brown 317-232-9497 Leising 317-232-9493 Melton 317-232-9432 Johnson 317-232-9466 Yoder 317-232-9534 It has been 3 weeks since the initial hearing and testimony from the public. During that hearing, the committee admitted that the Indiana State Department of Health would be issuing a scannable record for proof of vaccination with the intent to use it for travel. It has been 3 weeks since the initial hearing and testimony from the public. During that hearing, the committee admitted that the Indiana State Department of Health would be issuing a scannable record for proof of vaccination with the intent to use it for travel. By definition, this scannable record IS a vaccine passport. One member of the committee also recognized that QR codes to show proof of vaccination may be obtained easily from 3rd parties. Confirming the testimony given by Ashley Grogg. If a legislator votes yes to SB47 they will be voting for a bill that would violate IC 16-39-11, passed in 2021, preventing the state from issuing or requiring an immunization passport. Make your calls today! You might be wondering, why after 3 weeks the chair decided to bring this back to vote. Some speculate that it could be Senator Charbonneau’s revenge for activists declaring the truth about SB4 Public Health Commission on February 1st. “Will Governor Eric Holcomb’s COVID lockdown kill his public health overhaul?” was the headline of an article published by the Indy Star February 2nd. The article reported Hoosiers “seized the opportunity” to spread COVID “misinformation” and claim that the bill was a “Trojan Horse” in an effort to usurp county control. They got one thing right, SB4 is a Trojan Horse. Hoosiers would be so lucky to kill this bill. Many truths were exposed about the bill even though citizen voices were suppressed and disregarded. Two hours of “Lobbyist Parade” was heard prior to the first citizen testifying. You read that right. Not a single voter testimony was heard for over two hours! Senator Ed Charbonneau, chairman of the committee, started the meeting at 9 am, warned that time for testimony was limited, and there were a large number of individuals signed up to testify. He feigned concern for everyone being able to testify stating “Please keep testimony to 3 minutes.” Hoosiers noted the disgusting display of favoritism to lobbyists and those representing the interests of the medical-industrial complex as they were called up one after another. Hoosiers started calling Charbonneau's office demanding the “lobbyist parade end.” Over two hours into the committee hearing, and about 20 minutes after angry calls started streaming into Charbonneau's office, citizen testimony began. Once finally allowed to speak, a county commissioner bravely rebuked the bill with genuine concerns. Sen. Charbonneau struck at him with harsh words as if he didn’t actually hear the concerns from the Commissioner that the “opt-in” didn’t leave room for opting out. Charbonneau practically yelled at the Commissioner stating that the bill wouldn’t impact his county if he opted out. The commissioner tried to explain again to no avail. Nearly every citizen who spoke requested that the senators review the Public Health Commission’s June 30th meeting. The commission was quoted by many of the citizens exposing where concerns about the “Trojan Horse” originated. Hear what some of the June 30th meeting here. In what only appears to be an effort to remain ignorant, Senator Charbonneau refused to hear a 1.5-minute clip from the meeting during a testimony. Despite compelling evidence including multiple direct quotes from the commission discussing bypassing “home rule," increasing public health requirements to force participation, and re-education campaigns, the committee went on to unanimously vote in favor of the bill. Nearly every member added that they have concerns but didn’t want to “impede the process” and hoped that the bill would be “fixed.” If we learned anything from last year, it is that these bills only get worse as they move along. Republican leadership blindly follows the words of Governor Holcomb and the committee chairs do the bidding of leadership. Republican leadership is known to state that the “heavy lifting” should be done in committee and not amongst the entire assembly. The likelihood of this bill being improved in favor of Hoosiers is slim to nil. In fact, inside sources suggest that the bill will only become worse. Yet somehow EVERY LAST COMMITTEE member voted “yes” and supported this bill that will ultimately lead to bigger government and Federal strings that will restrict the rights of the county. Hoosiers, our legislators must receive a clear message. Hoosiers expect their representatives to vote with their conscious, not the party line. Excuses for votes will no longer be tolerated. Hoosiers are watching. Hoosiers are participating. Hoosiers will connect legislative season to election season. Call your own legislators. Tell them “Excuses will not be tolerated. Protect Liberty. Vote No to coercion and the Governor’s Public Health Commission.”

House Happenings  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.” Wendy McNamara 317-232-9802 Michael J.

It is also on social media. I wanted to get some additions made then I will make the video downloadable so you can share. I will be updating this blog post today with more details and the WHY behind our next steps. Updates will be BELOW the video. You know me... I like INFORMED consent. You shouldn't just do what I say because I say it, you should understand WHY it is important. ;) Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I truly know we are making an impact together!! |
