FFK Candidate Survey

Do you stand firm in the upholding, honoring and defending the Constitution?  Please provide examples. 

Yes, I have studied the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence and our Bill of Rights for over 4 years.  My research started when I learned that my 5th and 6th grandfathers fought in the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812, and my 8th great uncle is Benjamin Franklin.  These documents are only in place to protect our Rights.  We The People will always need to be involved to protect our Liberty and Inheritance for future generations.

What does medical freedom mean to you? 

Medical Freedom is the right to choose what you feel is right for your health.  There should be no mandates or required vaccinations, especially without proper peer reviewed research and statistical analysis.  The government and it's agencies have overreached their authority and we are currently in a totalitarian era in our country's history.  We have lived through an exercise of how easily as a Country we can succumb to Marxism.  It's quite scary and I believe that education and understanding how socialism always leads to the systematic decline of a civilization is the only way for our country to go forward.  We need to educate our youth on early American history so they can develop an appreciate and patriotism to protect and defend our values.

What is your stance on vaccine mandates? Do you oppose or support mandates? Please explain. 

I will always oppose Vaccine Mandates.  I believe that big pharma has implemented controls and protection to benefit them.  We have millions of vaccine injuries that have gone unreported and parents and family have limited if no remedies regarding these lifelong injuries.  I believe it's a crime against humanity.

Do you support the current vaccine exemptions in Florida, Religious and Medical? Would you fight to uphold them should they come under attack? 

I have a religious exemption for my son and I will always fight on behalf of Florida Families for their right to vaccine exemptions.

Would you support a bill to expand vaccine exemptions to include conscientious objections? 

Yes.

Would you actively fight against proposed vaccine mandates? 

Yes as I don't believe in vaccine mandates.

At the state level, Florida Statute 381.00315 gives the State Health Officer the power to force examine, test, treat, quarantine, or isolate an individual with police enforcement if necessary. Are you aware of this law? Would you support the repeal of this law? 

Yes I am aware of this law, and have brought this up to several of our FL House Legislators.  They are equally concerned and looking into the language of this law.

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 familiar with this law and feel that pharmaceutical companies have lobbied their way to create this protection for themselves.  When I get to Congress, I will be striking down this law and create Legislation to protect families and allow their ability to file lawsuits for vaccine injuries.

Are you currently (or previously) affiliated in any way (including campaign contributions) with pharmaceutical companies, medical establishments, or educational institutions? 

No.

Final Thoughts? Anything else you would like to share with our FFK community? 

Yes, I am an America First Candidate endorsed by Restore Liberty, Veterans for America First, the Republican National Hispanic Assembly, and many fine Patriot organizations.  I will never waiver and cannot be compromised.  The John Birch Society has a rating system on our elected officials vote to protect Freedom.  Progressive Democrat Ted Deutch who currently holds the 22nd Seat is ranked 0% on defending our Freedom.  I vow to rank at the 100% along with Congressman Thomas Massie.  I am fighting for the future of my 12 year old son, and for all of our children's future.  

Vote for Darlene Swaffar, Candidate for Congress for FL22

Do you stand firm in the upholding, honoring and defending the Constitution?  Please provide examples. 

Yes. As a young man, I voluntarily served in the Army Reserve, in the National Guard, and was honorably discharged from the US Army.  I was willing to fight as a young man to protect our freedom by joining the military and now as an older adult, I feel compelled to run for public office to preserve our rights as free Americans.  I will fight to protect our state and our country from those that wish to destroy them and take away our God given rights and freedoms.   

What does medical freedom mean to you? 

Freedom to choose and decide your own medical care.

What is your stance on vaccine mandates? Do you oppose or support mandates? Please explain. 

I oppose all vaccine mandates.  Mandates violate our basic freedom of choice.  Baptist Health in South Florida mandated vaccination for physicians and all staff, so I withdrew from the medical staff in protest of their decision to mandate an experimental vaccine.

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 would certainly fight to support exemptions to any mandates.

Would you support a bill to expand vaccine exemptions to include conscientious objections? 

Yes.

Would you actively fight against proposed vaccine mandates? 

Yes.

At the state level, Florida Statute 381.00315 gives the State Health Officer the power to force examine, test, treat, quarantine, or isolate an individual with police enforcement if necessary. Are you aware of this law? Would you support the repeal of this law? 

Yes, I am familiar with this law.  It was originally put into place to prevent TB from being spread in the community.  It is now clear that any legislation has to be specific to a disease to prevent the corruption and manipulation of laws by politicians and bureaucrats.

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?

I am familiar with this law.  I don't support this immunity for these companies.

Are you currently (or previously) affiliated in any way (including campaign contributions) with pharmaceutical companies, medical establishments, or educational institutions? 

Yes. I privately invested in Regeneron and GlaxoSmithKline which made the monoclonal antibodies to treat covid.  I believe they were effective treatments for the infection.

Final Thoughts? Anything else you would like to share with our FFK community? 

I fully support the conservative principles on which our country was founded, including all the freedoms endowed by our Creator and enshrined in the Bill of Rights.    If elected, I promise to bring common sense and practical solutions along with my medical expertise to our state legislature in an effort to secure a safe and prosperous future for all Floridians.

Do you stand firm in the upholding, honoring and defending the Constitution?  Please provide examples. 

I absolutely stand for upholding and defending the Constitution. For many generations, my family has fought to uphold the Constitution and individual rights. My father is a retired Air Force officer who flew B52s in Vietnam and was part of SAC air defense, with nuclear bombs in his payload. My great uncle, Carl Foster, was 101st Airborne during WWII and dropped in over Normandy on D-Day. From my family's experience, I know what happens to countries who allow their rights to be stripped. Our officials are violating the Constitution with medical mandates and gross overreach. We are provided Individual Rights, like the 1st Amendment, which are being stripped away with censorship and school boards attempting to blackout broadcasts of public comments and limiting citizen speakers to just 60 seconds at meetings. This is one of the reasons I'm running for office: we MUST restore the power back to the people.

What does medical freedom mean to you? 

I stand for choice. We as Americans, are given the Individual Right to choose what is best for ourselves and our children. I also believe in INFORMED consent. What is happening right now in our country is a violation of the Constitution, and it also violates the Nuremberg Code. My two special-needs sons, along with my daughter, were stripped of their rights by the school board. The staff were stripped, and even arrested, for standing up for their rights. Medical freedom means allowing every individual and parent, the ability to choose for themselves and their families.  

What is your stance on vaccine mandates? Do you oppose or support mandates? Please explain. 

I oppose vaccine mandates. I oppose any medical mandate. Those mandates violate the Bill of Rights. Our Constitution provides individual rights. This idea of "community rights" is a Marxist ideology. "It's for the greater good" is a phrase has been used over and over throughout history, and it has never been on the side of truth and justice. My two special-needs sons (HF Autism, SPD, ADHD, Apraxia, and more) were denied their medical exemptions for school. My then 10-year-old was harassed so badly for it, we had to pull him from public school. These devices are not scientifically shown to have any benefit, and indeed can cause harm, which I have included in my speeches every month for over a year to the school board. The science doesn't back the mandates, the Constitution would never do so. 

Do you support the current vaccine exemptions in Florida, Religious and Medical? Would you fight to uphold them should they come under attack? 

We should not even have these vaccine mandates, so I will fight to uphold any and all exemption options, whether religious, medical or other. As a mother of a senior, we are acutely monitoring which universities are requiring vaccinations, as they are a "no go" for her. Our nation's foundational bedrock is individual freedom, we must defend it.

Would you support a bill to expand vaccine exemptions to include conscientious objections? 

I would support a bill to expand vaccine exemptions for any reason, period.  

Would you actively fight against proposed vaccine mandates? 

I have been, and will continue to actively fight against proposed vaccine mandates. 

At the state level, Florida Statute 381.00315 gives the State Health Officer the power to force examine, test, treat, quarantine, or isolate an individual with police enforcement if necessary. Are you aware of this law? Would you support the repeal of this law? 

Yes, I am aware of this law. I would support the repeal of this law. 

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'm aware of this law and I do NOT support this immunity. As a mother who's children have special needs, I'm very aware of the possible damages. We only need to look at openvaers.com to see the current damage. These companies should definitely be held accountable for their products. 

Are you currently (or previously) affiliated in any way (including campaign contributions) with pharmaceutical companies, medical establishments, or educational institutions? 

I am part of the original class of BEST (with Freedom Works) graduates. They held their first conference training in March 2021, which I attended. Since then, I have participated in their events and trainings. 

Final Thoughts? Anything else you would like to share with our FFK community? 

I have been an advocate for parents in their IEP meetings, for reading, early intervention and special needs for 16 years. The system is working to actively de-educate our nation. I've talked to employers who are having to fire the younger generation because they don't know how to solve a problem. Our schools are ground zero for the issues facing our nation. If we don't restore our school boards, the indoctrination "faucet" will keep spewing out indoctrinated generations, effecting every single person.  I'm running for FIVE things: 1: RETURN THE POWER BACK TO THE PEOPLE.   It is time to stop the gross overreach and disregard of the needs of the staff, students and community.  The board is supposed to represent the will of the constituents. We should not have to put on body armor to try to get services for our IEP/SES students. The system should work with families. Parents should have more control and access to what their child is learning.    2: RESTORE PARENT & EMPLOYEE CHOICE! NO MEDICAL MANDATES. I will work to permanently ban medical mandates for school children & employees. Every person has Individual Rights, guaranteed by the Constitution. Parents know their child best and are the true decision maker. They should decide what is best for their child.    3: ERADICATE POLITICAL INDOCTRINATIONS. Critical Race Theory must go. Our nation has been invaded by anti-American and Marxist ideology. Instead of math and reading, they teach SEL & gender fluidity. I have been a key note speaker on these issues, presenting this information before many groups, in order to help spread awareness of the decades old indoctrination invasion. We should teach children HOW to think.... not what to think!    4: REBUILD TRANSPARENCY, COMMUNICATION & ACCOUNTABILITY.  My goal is to directly represent people. In order to that effectively, I plan on creating several communication efforts. For a board member to represent the parents, citizens, student, and employees, they must be in active communication with them. My plan includes meeting times that work for the people, not in the middle of the day, as well as new methods of communication, from virtual town halls to meeting at local parks. I will work against any attempt to eliminate public comment at school board meetings!   5: REFOCUS ON REAL ACADEMICS & RESULTS.  We have a 47% math proficiency and college ready index of 32 out of 100, yet a graduation rate of 95.9%. The district is pushing kids through without the cognitive skills or the general knowledge to succeed. My goal is to give all children equal opportunities, provide them with a higher quality education by refocusing on robust, historically accurate curriculum, and provide a "can do" positive environment with emphasis on personal responsibility & strong work ethics, in order to be college and career ready.

Do you stand firm in the upholding, honoring and defending the Constitution?  Please provide examples. 

Absolutely!  I'm a 2A card-carrying American. Even if I don't like what a person says, I'll defend their 1A right to say it.  I'm a USAF Veteran and fought for the Constitution.  

What does medical freedom mean to you? 

Being in the medical field, I'm in a unique position to answer this. To me, medical freedom means one's own choice to decide what is best for him/her, or their children.  It means the Government has no business telling a person they need to wear a mask, get an injection, quarantine or otherwise.  If a person wants to do those things that's their option to do so to themselves, but not to others.

What is your stance on vaccine mandates? Do you oppose or support mandates? Please explain. 

I'm COMPLETELY against any mandates.  Vaccine, Masks, Quarantine, etc.  It's against the Constitution to impose them on American Citizens. 

Do you support the current vaccine exemptions in Florida, Religious and Medical? Would you fight to uphold them should they come under attack? 

YES.... but, we shouldn't need exceptions, because we shouldn't have mandates to get vaccines.  I will fight to overturn vaccination requirements.  Again, I'm not an anti-vax person, I'm a Medical Freedom of Choice person. 

Would you support a bill to expand vaccine exemptions to include conscientious objections? 

Absolutely. 

Would you actively fight against proposed vaccine mandates? 

I already do, and will continue to do so.

At the state level, Florida Statute 381.00315 gives the State Health Officer the power to force examine, test, treat, quarantine, or isolate an individual with police enforcement if necessary. Are you aware of this law? Would you support the repeal of this law? 

Yes, I am, and I would push to repeal immediately... That type of power should not be allowed by any one individual.

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'm aware, and no... regardless of what industry or company, if you injure people, you should be allowed to suffer the ramifications of doing so.  Immunity should not be granted to any corporation. 

Are you currently (or previously) affiliated in any way (including campaign contributions) with pharmaceutical companies, medical establishments, or educational institutions? 

Yes, I have physicians and pharmacists that are like-minded that have made campaign contributions.  Not all docs and pharmacists drink the kool-aide from this administration. They are all behind me to spread the word about this insanity we are witnessing.

Final Thoughts? Anything else you would like to share with our FFK community? 

I'm not a politician.  I'm an American!  I'm a Freedom Keeper that will do whatever is necessary to protect the freedoms of my fellow Americans.  It starts on the ground level, and that is why I'm running for Village Council.  The incumbent that I'm going to beat is 100% the other direction.  He told me and my wife (who has a Doctorate of Pharmacy and owns drug stores) how we need to wear masks and offer vaccines to get us out of the pandemic. He's a personal injury attorney with zero medical knowledge.  If you extrapolate that conversation on our small scale, that's what is going on in Washington DC. Bureaucrats that have no medical background are telling the population how to conduct themselves medically.  We need to put a stop to it!

Do you stand firm in the upholding, honoring and defending the Constitution?  Please provide examples. 

Yes! We have been working on getting back to Common Law. 

What does medical freedom mean to you? 

Everything, my body was created by God, as was my immune system. 

What is your stance on vaccine mandates? Do you oppose or support mandates? Please explain. 

Oppose.  A mandate is not a law. 

Do you support the current vaccine exemptions in Florida, Religious and Medical? Would you fight to uphold them should they come under attack? 

Yes, fight all the way.

Would you support a bill to expand vaccine exemptions to include conscientious objections? 

Yes, we choose what we put in our bodies, regardless of reason. 

Would you actively fight against proposed vaccine mandates? 

Yes.

At the state level, Florida Statute 381.00315 gives the State Health Officer the power to force examine, test, treat, quarantine, or isolate an individual with police enforcement if necessary. Are you aware of this law? Would you support the repeal of this law? 

I am aware of this law, and distinctly oppose it.

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?

I am familiar, and this is an atrocity. They shall be held liable for all injuries to man, woman and child.

Are you currently (or previously) affiliated in any way (including campaign contributions) with pharmaceutical companies, medical establishments, or educational institutions? 

I donated to High Point University for business programs.
