I am deeply concerned by the how quickly and easily the government has trampled our rights in response to COVID-19. We are far beyond what the framers intended when it comes to promoting the “general welfare”. There is no asterisk in the Constitution that says “except in case of a pandemic”.

I am a director in the Rights of Nature Movement which you can learn about on our website www.fronn.org (This organization’s philosophy is along the same lines as freedom keepers. basically, we believe that humans and nature are equal and that the corporate state has no right to pollute and control our waterways, natural conservation land and destroy wildlife. Our fight is currently suing the FL Governor for passing HB 712.. A bill that takes away peoples rights to protect themselves and their health against corporate polluters.
Candidate: Marcie Adkins
Candidate website: www.adkins53.com
QUESTION #1
Do you stand firm in upholding, honoring and defending the Constitution? Please provide examples.
"yes. Quite frankly, it should be the only thing on the mind of any legislator due to the fact that the oath of office ONLY states that the individual will uphold the US and State Constitutions and are qualified to hold office.
CS Lewis is quite quotable on this topic, ""Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies”"."

"Representative republics and democracies undergird themselves with freedom governed by the people, not the government, and the firm conviction that personal responsibility and personal decision making are best.
Benevolent tyrannies are the exact opposite, undergirded with the belief that the people do NOT know know what's best for themselves & that what the State deems good is what the people MUST do."

The patient and family have the right to chose their medical treatments. With the advice of their doctor whether it is holistic or prescriptive drugs. The choice is up to the individual not the Government!
QUESTION #3
What is your stance on vaccine mandates? Do you oppose or support mandates?
Oppose Mandates. Again, this is up to the individual and the parents of children. They know what’s best for their child. You can not mandate vaccines upon an individual! It is not up to the government to make these decisions.
QUESTION #4
Do you support the current vaccine exemptions in Florida, Religious and Medical? Would you fight to uphold them should they come under attack?
I will uphold the right to choose. We must have the freedom to make those choices without coercion or threats by any government Institution or other establishment thatwants to force their agenda on an individuals right to choose for themselves!

NO
Final Thoughts? Please share!
As you may or may not know, my husband had Guillane-Barre’ while he was paralyzed and in the hospital for almost a year, I studied Vaccines, flu shots and viruses extensively! I do not have to be a Doctor to understand the side affects and ramifications of vaccinations. The very word “mandate” is a violation of our First Amendment and 14th Amendment Rights. This is government overreach on our civil liberties! I will fight for our individual rights to chose the best medical treatments for ourselves and children!
Candidate: Christy McLaughlin
Candidate website: www.christyforcongress.com
QUESTION #1
Do you stand firm in upholding, honoring and defending the Constitution? Please provide examples.
Yes. The United States Constitution is the most genius document ever written. Constitutional Rights must be protected. Even the most free and liberty-centric nations might be tempted by external threats in which governments will part with Constitutional rights for a temporary sense of security. I am a staunch Constitutionalist and my vow is defend and honor the unambiguous language that our Founding Fathers have written.
QUESTION #2
What does medical freedom mean to you?
Medical freedom is a fundamental right that is granted by God, not by the Government. The government's purpose is to protect and defend our fundamental rights and personal liberties. Healthcare is extremely personal. The Government should not be an impediment to healthcare, nor should it mandate healthcare while taking away the freedom of the individual to make their own medical decisions or for a parent to make medical decisions for their child.
QUESTION #3
What is your stance on vaccine mandates? Do you oppose or support mandates?
I am very much OPPOSED to vaccine mandates. Mandatory vaccines takes away the freedom of the individual and the freedom of the parent to choose for their child. It is well established that there are medical reasons to not vaccinate particularly for some children. Most importantly, it is a right of the parent to make that decision for their child, or the right of the individual to make a personal healthcare decision for themselves. As we have seen with the discussions of mandatory masks throughout local, state, and federal government, there is a slippery slope of government intrusion in the health and well-being of the individual. Mandates violate rights to religion and privacy, and are unconstitutional.
QUESTION #4
Do you support the current vaccine exemptions in Florida, Religious and Medical? Would you fight to uphold them should they come under attack?
Absolutely! Exemptions are extremely important to protect the autonomy of the individual. Our personal freedoms are under attack right now as we face the COVID-19 pandemic. I have fought the infringement of our liberties and have spoken out at many government public meetings to oppose mandated masks which will set the precedent for mandatory vaccines without exemptions.
QUESTION #5
Would you support a bill to expand vaccine exemptions to include conscientious objections?
Yes. Exemptions must be available and expansive enough to ensure that the right to individual choice for healthcare is maintained.
QUESTION #6
During a declared state of emergency, would you actively fight against proposed vaccine mandates?
Yes. State of emergencies must still protect the health and well-being of American citizens. Protecting medical freedom will ensure that health and well-being are protected, because only the individual (or in cases of children, the parent) can make decisions in their best interest.
QUESTION #7
At the state level, Florida Statute 381.00315 gives the State Health Officer the power to force vaccines, when approved, at their discretion and with police powers for enforcement. Are you aware of this law? Would you support the repeal of this law?
I have spoken with members of this organization about this issue. I oppose the legislation and support repeal of that law.
QUESTION #8
At the federal level, the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 gives vaccine makers immunity from lawsuits stemming from harm due to a vaccine. No other drug company has ever been given this sort of protection. Are you familiar with this law? Do you support this type of immunity for pharmaceutical companies?
Any form of immunity from lawsuits must be questioned and taken with a grain of salt particularly if there is a risk that it poses a risk to the American individual and the individual cannot seek just compensation.
QUESTION #9
Are you currently (or previously) affiliated in any way (including campaign contributions) with pharmaceutical companies, medical establishments or educational institutions?
No.
Final Thoughts? Please share!
It is my honor to get to know local members of FL Freedom Keepers while we speak out against the mask mandates at county commissioner and city council meetings.
Candidate: Erick Aguliar
Candidate website: www.erickforcongress.com
QUESTION #1
Do you stand firm in upholding, honoring and defending the Constitution? Please provide examples.
YES. I took an oath in the military to support and defend the Constitution and that oath does not have an expiration date.
QUESTION #2
What does medical freedom mean to you?
Medical freedom means to me having the choice to either accept or deny medical procedures.
QUESTION #3
What is your stance on vaccine mandates? Do you oppose or support mandates?
I do not agree that vaccines should be mandated or pushed. If someone wants one for themselves or their child, then by all means, have one. If they don't; that's their choice.
QUESTION #4
Do you support the current vaccine exemptions in Florida, Religious and Medical? Would you fight to uphold them should they come under attack?
YES. It goes to medical freedom. But i do believe that parents who do not want them for themselves should not push their beliefs on their child if the child chooses to have the vaccine. Medical freedom should be across the board.
QUESTION #5
Would you support a bill to expand vaccine exemptions to include conscientious objections?
Yes
QUESTION #6
During a declared state of emergency, would you actively fight against proposed vaccine mandates?
Yes
QUESTION #7
At the state level, Florida Statute 381.00315 gives the State Health Officer the power to force vaccines, when approved, at their discretion and with police powers for enforcement. Are you aware of this law? Would you support the repeal of this law?
YES. I am aware this law exists. I would support to repeal it.
QUESTION #8
At the federal level, the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 gives vaccine makers immunity from lawsuits stemming from harm due to a vaccine. No other drug company has ever been given this sort of protection. Are you familiar with this law? Do you support this type of immunity for pharmaceutical companies?
YES. I am aware of this law. I believe this should be repealed. Giving immunity to pharmaceutical companies that have the potential to manufacture substances that could have the potential harm people only can cause one thing to occur; lower quality. When you cannot be held accountable for a faulty product, no one cares who is affected
QUESTION #9
Are you currently (or previously) affiliated in any way (including campaign contributions) with pharmaceutical companies, medical establishments or educational institutions?
NO. I am not affiliated with pharmaceutical companies or medical establishments. I am affiliated with the educational institution I work for as a professor but they have no control over myself or my campaign.

Candidate: Reba Sherrill
Candidate
website:www.RebaForCongress.com
QUESTION #1
Do you stand firm in upholding, honoring and defending the Constitution? Please provide examples.
Absolutely! I speak out about mandatory masks and mandatory vaccines at every opportunity. This is medical tyranny. We have a right to be safe in our body. The government has no right to trespass on my person. The Second Amendment will be key in protecting us against such tyranny. We can never give up any of our constitutional rights.
QUESTION #2
What does medical freedom mean to you?
The right and freedom to choose for myself and my minor children what can be done to my body. I choose natural methods of healing and Wellness. I speak out against big Pharma and big AG. All they want to do is poison our bodies and our world with chemicals.
QUESTION #3
What is your stance on vaccine mandates? Do you oppose or support mandates?
I am staunchly opposed! If vaccines worked the people who take them wouldn't be concerned with people who don't.
QUESTION #4
Do you support the current vaccine exemptions in Florida, Religious and Medical? Would you fight to uphold them should they come under attack?
Absolutely!
QUESTION #5

QUESTION #7
At the state level, Florida Statute 381.00315 gives the State Health Officer the power to force vaccines, when approved, at their discretion and with police powers for enforcement. Are you aware of this law? Would you support the repeal of this law?
I absolutely am aware. I have been fighting against it. I have been trying to raise public awareness. I speak about it with every opportunity that presents itself, while also creating opportunities to be heard. This is Criminal. It absolutely must be repealed!
QUESTION #8
At the federal level, the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 gives vaccine makers immunity from lawsuits stemming from harm due to a vaccine. No other drug company has ever been given this sort of protection. Are you familiar with this law? Do you support this type of immunity for pharmaceutical companies?
Hell no, I don't support their immunity! They should never have this immunity. I have spoken against this from day one. They don't give a damn about the people of this country and the world.
QUESTION #9
Are you currently (or previously) affiliated in any way (including campaign contributions) with pharmaceutical companies, medical establishments or educational institutions?
I fight them every day of my life! These are three of the most corrupt institutions known to man. I know inside information because over 30 years ago I was a part of the medical establishment. I walked away. I was so disgusted with what I saw. I will never stop fighting until it's completely destroyed. I have established a wellness task force to completely revamp the healthcare industry from a sick care industry to one that's Wellness Focused.
Final Thoughts? Please share!
For the last 30 plus years I have fought medical tyranny all over the globe. I'm so excited to see that there are other people awake and alert to this crime against humanity that has been perpetrated for many decades. We have to overturn this establishment and create a new way of thinking for the masses. They must be re-educated in the truth of what brings about true health and prosperity. I sincerely appreciate the opportunity to share with you and the nation the truth about tyrannical government and how they attacked our well-being. We have real solutions that must be brought to the forefront.

QUESTION #8
At the federal level, the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 gives vaccine makers immunity from lawsuits stemming from harm due to a vaccine.

Candidate: Dan Severson
Candidate website: wwww.seversonforcongress.com
QUESTION #1
Do you stand firm in upholding, honoring and defending the Constitution? Please provide examples.
Yes, I am an originalist. I believe our founders understood the implications of different governments like democracies and fashioned our Constitution in a way that gave us the best chance of keeping our liberties and freedoms, but they must be closely guarded. For 22 years in the Navy and 8 years in the Minnesota Legislature I swore to support and defend the Constitution. I have never compromised that oath and believe that it has no expiration date.
QUESTION #2
What does medical freedom mean to you?
Freedom to choose any course of remedy that is available without pressure from government to choose a particular direction. With freedom comes responsibility and that may look like expensive remedies but those costs are optional and to be born at the individual level, not dictated nor are they made a mandate for others to carry.
QUESTION #3
What is your stance on vaccine mandates? Do you oppose or support mandates?
I oppose mandates, it goes to the core of our personal liberties. Government is established to protect those liberties, not infringe on them by dictatorial edict. Under the 9th amendment we have those rights and when government infringes on those rights, we must challenge that form of government.
QUESTION #4
Do you support the current vaccine exemptions in Florida, Religious and Medical? Would you fight to uphold them should they come under attack?
Yes, I support them and I will fight to uphold them if they are attacked. This is more of a states issue but if there is opportunity at the federal level I would certainly throw my full support into upholding religious and personal liberty.
QUESTION #5
Would you support a bill to expand vaccine exemptions to include conscientious objections?
Yes, again, it goes to individual liberties inherent in people and their power to govern.
QUESTION #6
During a declared state of emergency, would you actively fight against proposed vaccine mandates?
Yes
QUESTION #7
At the state level, Florida Statute 381.00315 gives the State Health Officer the power to force vaccines, when approved, at their discretion and with police powers for enforcement. Are you aware of this law? Would you support the repeal of this law?
No I was not and I would advocate for its repeal.
QUESTION #8
At the federal level, the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 gives vaccine makers immunity from lawsuits stemming from harm due to a vaccine. No other drug company has ever been given this sort of protection. Are you familiar with this law? Do you support this type of immunity for pharmaceutical companies?
No I am not. I find the issue of child vaccinations extremely problematic. Most vaccinations use fetal tissue as a medium and that has both moral and medical problems in my mind. First, the taking of a life to save another is not ours to determine and then the issue of DNA in vaccines for children who are still in the formative years begs the question that these vaccinations are benign. I believe this is responsible for the huge leap in autism we are experiencing today.
QUESTION #9
Are you currently (or previously) affiliated in any way (including campaign contributions) with pharmaceutical companies, medical establishments or educational institutions?
No, I am not and have not received any funding from any pharmaceutical company.
Final Thoughts? Please share!
I appreciate your stance on medical freedom and hope to help in any way I can in the future.
