I've been working with Whittier Families Against Mandates recently and today I had the pleasure of speaking at their rally. This group of parents has banded together to fight mandates in their school district. They've gotten far enough on their own in one month that they convinced the school board to write a letter to Newsom, asking him to repeal the COVID vaccine mandate for kids in schools. Not bad, not bad!

After my talk, I was swarmed by people wanting help to oppose mandates. I'll be holding a training class for them soon and teaching them campaign basics and local election laws.

Parent advocacy groups are ripe for libertarian outreach. Here's a transcript of the talk I gave. You can also find it on Twitter at https://twitter.com/angela4LNCChair/status/1460348576849010691?s=20

Rally Speech

I'm not here today to give a God and Country speech. My purpose today is to give you a bunch of painful truths and then equip you with the courage you need to take up this mantle and fight.

Who spoke out against the lockdowns?

Who spoke out against bill SB277 in 2015 - the bill that removed religious exemptions for children's vaccinations in schools?

These were unpopular ideas to challenge, and it took courage to speak out against them.

We are facing another unpopular battle.

Who has gone into the grocery store without a mask?

Let me tell you something: if you lack the courage to exchange a few uncomfortable words with a grocery store clerk, how can you look me in the eye and tell me you have the courage to stand up against the government, with their guns, and their prisons, and their armies?

If you're afraid to stand up to the school - to the board and its administrators - how can you stand up to the people who will eventually come knocking on your door to forcibly inject your child or to take your child away?

This is it. This is the hill.

Here's what's happening:

A place for everything and everything in its place. This is what we say when we clean house, when we're putting away toys and junk.

As we move further through the second progressive age of history, we find that there are people who want to control our every movement, our actions, our speech, and our thoughts. What we eat, how much electricity we use, who we are friends with, what entertainment we consume, where we shop, and what we put into our bodies.

The list goes on and on. Why? Why do people want to control us to this degree? The psychology behind that would take hours to unpack, but this is the path that every pushy utopian or micro managing tyrant eventually goes down. From Karl Marx to Mao to Che Guevara - it always starts out as an argument for the greater good and it ends in death camps.

There will be a great accounting - a place for everything and everything in its place. And anyone that doesn't fit into their place will be FORCED into place - or disposed of.

YOU ARE NOT JUNK. And you do not need someone else - some nameless bureaucrat - to put you and your children "in your place".

Here is what the government is telling you:

It's not your place to decide what your child is injected with. It's not your place to decide HOW OFTEN your child is injected. It's not your place to decide what your child is taught. It's not your place to teach your child. He or she is NOT your child. YOU are just a government nanny and your child is a ward of the state. That is your place.

This mandate isn't about health. It's redefining what it means to be a parent. It's a system of governance that will mold and shape your thoughts, your beliefs, and your actions. And it will teach you to BOW DOWN and to OBEY.

Is there anyone here who is NOT religious? And is there anyone here who is a Christian? You will find yourself making unlikely alliances for religious freedom, because this mandate will compel you to worship the state. To treat it with respect and reverence. To offer it a sacrifice, to tithe, and to place FAITH in it. Maybe even to WORK MIRACLES. Because we know these shots don't stop the spread of COVID and we know they have side effects - but we're expected to shoot up anyway and have faith that everything will turn out ok.

This is one of the first in a series of tests to calibrate your level of compliance. To short circuit your natural, God given ability to use your best judgment as you care for and safeguard your children. They've been chiseling away at you this whole time and now they're HAMMERING.

So get out from under the hammer! It's gonna take more than a park rally to defeat this thing.

Here's what we're gonna do - we're not just gonna raise hell at a meeting. We're gonna remove any board member willing to enforce this mandate on your kids.

Don't inject your kids against your conscience. Make them send your kids home! And if they refuse to allow your kids in school, pull your kids out of public school. Pull them out of reach of the state. Because even if they aren't getting the shot - they're gonna be mentally conditioned against you. GUARANTEED that schools will start rolling out Anti-Vax warnings in their curriculum. Guaranteed that schools will start instructing children to rat their parents out as anti-vaxxers - as participants in WrongThink. And its GUARANTEED they will start to send CPS to your home to reign hell upon your family because you dared to think for yourself and to protect your children.

There are more of US than there are of THEM! And if we band together, we can FIGHT THEM and WIN!

How many administrators are there? How many board members? How many parents? This whole time, they've been making you work for them - day in, day out you go to work so they can collect your tax dollars and teach your kids whatever they want, and now they're going to try to forcibly inject your children and talk down to you when you object. YOU DON'T WORK FOR THEM. Take your power back! You outnumber the bureaucrats, and you don't have to listen to them! So raise hell for you kids cuz this is the fight of your life!

We are gonna organize, and we are gonna fight and win! For your families, for your children, and for their futures. There are people who think this shot is the mark of the beast or some apocalyptic sign. Well I say, not today! I’m not ready for the end and I'm gonna do everything I can to fend it off and protect your children. So let’s do this!
