| Call to Action Bait and Switch! SC Senate Medical Affairs Committee Chairman Danny Verdin fast tracks the FAKE S965 "medical freedom" bill that adds employer discrimination based on vaccination status to public policy, while S975, the REAL DEAL, is left in the dust. Which one will make it to the finish line before the next pandemic? Call your SC senator and representative and tell them you want them to pass S975 , NOT S965 . There is a chance your representative can talk senators out of advancing S965, a BAD BILL! Also, tell them to LET THE "HEALTH CZAR" BILLS DIE! We can revisit the idea of a qualified state surgeon general next year. For now, our public health agencies will continue to function well without the "health czar" bill. Go to the Senate Medical Affairs Meetings on Thursday, March 7th (for S965) and Thursday March 14th (for S975) to speak to the senators directly about the bills. Make your voice heard! Learn More Call, Text, and send a letter to your State legislator S965 - Renewal of Act 142 Allows private employers who receive any federal funding to fire unvaccinated employees. Provides meager unemployment benefits through federal COVID-19 relief tax dollars. Establishes and funds weekly discriminatory COVID-19 testing based on vaccination status. Does nothing to reduce "public health emergency" powers. S975 - Sc Medical Freedom Act Criminalizes employer discrimination based on vaccination status. Prevents pharmacy denial of off-label use, life-saving medications like Ivermectin. Reduces the "public health emergency" powers of public health authorities. Contact your state representative and get a promise that he/she will sponsor and support H4935, the SAVE (Secure, Accurate and Verifiable Elections) Act. We are running out of time! Build the pressure today! Go to the SC Safe Elections website for more information. SC Safe Elections Election Integrity Meeting Part 1 Election Integrity Meeting Part 2 UPCOMING EVENTS! Field Trip to the SC Statehouse! Tomorrow afternoon (Tuesday March 5th), the K-12 Education Subcommittee will be hearing testimony on H5164 , which, besides making some mild improvements to the Trojan Horse "Education Savings Account" Act passed last year, will capture homeschool families into this dangerous idea of a state-funded entitlement program to make school-choice more affordable. We urge homeschool families and their supporters to pack up for a field trip to the state capitol building! Find a seat in the House gallery (balcony) by 11:30 a.m. to be recognized by House legislators. Immediately after the Session, around 1 p.m., we will go to the Education Subcommittee Meeting to urge legislators to amend the bill so that the language in Section 59-8-115 (E)(4)(f), barring homeschool participation in the ESA program, remains in the code of laws. If you cannot go in person, please contact members of the subcommittee and voice your opposition to seducing homeschool parents into participation in the ESA program. Insist that the house pass the senate's "ACE Scholarship Program" bill, S285 , still sitting in the House Ways and Means Committee, instead. Send Your Written Testimony for the Committee Contact Education Committee Members Learn More There will be a Town Hall meeting hosted by Rep. Bill Chumley this Thursday, March 7, at 6pm . The venue is: 3501 Hwy 417, Woodruff, SC 29388. Please try to attend! |
