Hoosier Headlines

Politics: A dirty game of smoke, mirrors, and deception.

1/20/2022

0 Comments

 
Hoosier cries for Medical Liberty protections have fallen on deaf ears for over a year. The Indiana General Assembly (IGA) flat out refused to adopt SB74 last year, scrambled for political cover, only to fall short by passing a worthless vaccine passport ban.
 
It looks like they might be trying their hardest to do nothing more than the same this year, but they want you to think they are “striking balance” between the rights of the people and the rights of the businesses. 
Where do you think their loyalties belong?
With the people or with the businesses?
2022 legislative session started two and half weeks ago. It feels much longer because Hoosiers have been getting empty promises with major strings attached for the past two months. 

Despite over 14 hours of testimony the House Republicans refused to make any positive changes for medical liberty on HB1001 and INSIST on bowing down to dangerous demands set forth by the governor.

HB1001’s exemptions are no more protective than federal protections currently available and has its fair share of strings attached. The bill includes provisions that would allow an unelected official to accept federal funding and “any other federal law, regulation, guidance or policy pertaining to COVID-19 relief.” This is giving the federal government an open door into our state governance. The IGA has the capability to end the state of emergency without adding these stipulations into law. The administrative aspects of this bill are a threat to Liberty!

We DO NOT want this bill the way it stands.

Meeting Jan 20th 7pm EST

On Thursday Jan 13th HB1001 was open for amendments and brave Representatives Curt Nisly and John Jacob offered up amendments that would have corrected the flaws of the bill.

Yet neither of them were passed.
 
I encourage you to go back and watch the footage.

Representative Nisly’s amendment would have stripped out the governors demands. House Republicans seem to carry too much loyalty to the king… err Governor than to do the right thing and end the state of emergency via a House Concurrent Resolution. Instead, they choose to continue to promote the poor fiscal decisions of the Biden administration and open Hoosiers up to the potential for increasingly tyrannical rule. The amendment was defeated when nearly all House Representatives voted against it.

Next Rep. John Jacob brought forth an amendment for Bodily integrity. This amendment would have fixed all the issues Medical Liberty Activists saw in HB1001’s vaccination portion of the bill. It was beautifully crafted and Rep. Jacob’s speech was heartfelt and compelling. However Representative Leonard made a point of order stating that the amendment was in violation of rule 118.

Rule 118 is also referred to as “Bill pending.” Meaning that you can not write an amendment that looks like a current bill.  At the time of filing the amendment, there were NO bills in the house that looked similar. Yet on January 13th HB1408 appeared on the IGA website and was eerily similar to Rep Jacob's amendment.  In this story the order of events is incredibly important.

Let’s look at this timeline:

But there is more to this story. When watching session, you don’t get to see everything that happens. While the House “stood in recess” Representative John Jacob went to bat for your medical liberty. Stating that he would withdraw the amendment if the committee chair that HB1408 was assigned to would publicly announce the bill would be heard and VOTED on. Both Representatives Todd Huston & Representative Leonard were reported to appeared to be appalled at his request and DENIED it.
Could it be that the House Republicans are hell bent on ensuring they protect the interests of Governor Holcomb, special interest groups, and big business while flat out refusing to address TRUE Medical Liberty?
Take an objective look at these facts and decide for yourself.

HB1001 passed through the House and has been referred to the Senate where Senators Messmer and Charbonneau are sponsoring the bill. 

These two senators have not previously been champions of medical liberty, in fact Senator Charbonneau is the chair of health and provider services committee. This particular committee has historically had close relationships with the hospital association and pharma. 

Some might say that the assignment of HB1001 to Sen. Charbonneau was an intentional death sentence, especially after Senate Pro Temp Rod Bray’s negative public comments about the bill.

Senator Charbonneau’s committee has already passed Senate Bill 3 which covers the dangerous administrative portions of the HB1001 without the exemption portions.  SB3 will be heard on second reading today (Jan 20th).

Hoosiers for Medical Liberty drafted an amendment and attempted to get several Senators to file it on behalf of Hoosiers. Unfortunately, Senator Kruse is out of town ineligible and with the help of Dr. Dan Stock three other Senators were approached without anyone willing to take up the amendment.
 
My expectation is that HB1001 will die in Charbonneau’s committee and SB3 will pass through and transfer over to the House rapidly while HB1001 sits to die.

Understanding politics is difficult enough however, it is easy to completely lose sight and misunderstand when the political class uses smoke, mirrors, and deception.
Hoosiers deserve Medical Liberty and they certainly deserve transparency of government.

Call to action:

Call your House Representative & Senators TODAY and tell them:

“I am sick of political games and misdirection. It is time to deliver TRUE Medical Liberty protections. It's time to live up to your role. I am asking you to take a stand, do what is right, help bring transparency to politics.”
