  2. I ask you to support SB 29 for the removal of government mandates for Covid vaccination requirements and the wearing of masks.

    Government covid vaccine mandates are hurting our economy, our children in public institutions, our military and our national guard.

    Clinical studies have shown that masks did not and do not prevent the spread of covid. Covid vaccines‘ efficacy was misrepresented by their manufactures. It was not nearly as good as it was advertised and their were serious flaws in the vaccine studies that are now being disclosed.

    Different population groups carry different risks for covid infections. Covid Vaccine Mandates treat all population groups the same, regardless of their individual risk factors for serious disease from a covid infection.

    Since it is now established that covid vaccines carry significant health risks themselves in particular for myocarditis in young adults who are not are risk for serious disease from a covid infection, mandates make no sense. Data proves that covid vaccines have harmed more people than they have protected.

    Under our constitution, it should always a be health care provider who decides if a vaccine is suited for his patient NEVER the government. The decision to any medical procedure should always include the free will and based on INFORMED CONSENT of the individual and should never be pushed on a person by intimidation, force, threat or by disadvantaging the individual in the work place or in society with regards to access to healthcare, government services, freedom to use transportation such as airplanes, etc. There is NO informed consent even to this day as the manufacturers of covid vaccines have not issued package inserts to the vaccines to inform health care providers of potential risks and benefits of their covid vaccines.

    I ask you to get rid of government covid vaccine and mask mandates.

    I ask you to pass SB 29.

    Thank you for your support!

    Dear Sir : I love your desire to make this world a better place for us to live.
    I would take more action (emails to our Senators etc.) if you could
    make it more easy for me to contact them all. For example go to
    The John Birch Society jbs.org and see how they have their setup
    is designed. I fill out one form on there website and and email is
    sent to everyone (President, Congressmen, Governors, etc.) all with
    one form that I signed and filled out.
    Thank you for all you do, The best is yet to come.
    Sincerely, Shannon Santos

      Thank you so much for your response and your commitment to medical liberty and vaccine choice. TFVC strives to find the balance between ease of participation and effectiveness.

      Over the years we have spoken to countless legislators and their staff and it all comes down to a ratio of efficient communication vs. effective communication. The most effective, yet least efficient way to contact your legislator is an in-person visit. A personally written letter or a phone call would be the next most effective and both are more efficient than in person.

      An email sent directly from you is even more efficient, yet is still effective. We provide text to give you a start, but prefer for you to make the words your own. Legislators pay a lot more attention when the emails aren’t all exactly the same. The more time you put in, the more it means in the eyes of your representative.

      There are systems that allow for one-click submissions and they are very efficient but they do very little to sway the legislator in our favor. They can tell it is coming from an automated system and there is very little humanity attached to that message. We have also received countless reports that most of the emails from one-click systems go to spam folders. That technology is also expensive and we are a non-profit, avoiding any expense that doesn’t move the needle.

      We truly appreciate all the time you give to the cause, at any level of participation.

      Thank you,
      Team TFVC
