Perennial Tyranny Squad member Representative Donna Howard, a long-time thorn in the side of TFVC and a vocal barrier to the achievement of our goals, tried valiantly to pass a thinly veiled HPV vaccine bill through the House. Her hope was that we – YOU – wouldn’t notice that she was asking for state agencies to promote and push Gardasil on college campuses, a move that would easily evolve into a college mandate. But we are always vigilant and worked tirelessly to get the message out to our Representatives to vote NO when this bill hit the House floor on Thursday.
But instead of putting the bill up for a vote, Rep. Howard chose to give an impassioned speech about how effective TFVC has been in the fight for medical liberty. Her first words were to accept her crown as the “Reigning Queen of the Tyranny Squad,” after which she waved our legislative one-pager around and complained about the onslaught of opposition emails and phone calls received by legislators. She concluded by nuking her bill by postponing it until after Legislative Session ends.
We thought it would be enough to kill HB 1787, but the real crowning achievement was the eulogy!
