Texans for Medical Freedom

Thursday (2024 October 3) I had the privilege of attending the Texans for Medical Freedom Gala. This was the first of its kind and was every bit as informative as could be expected from an event bearing the TMF insignia. Much to my surprise, the table at which I was seated bore my name. I took this as a great honour, as the work this organization does I believe to be the most important in the State of Texas and maybe even in the nation.

The Gala was held at the Lone Star Flight Museum. It was a beautiful venue and I even decided to go back the every next day with my children that they may experience the exhibits! They had an absolute blast.

For those unaware, TMF fights for parental and familial sovereignty especially where medical decisions are concerned. Medical decisions are not the realm of Government edict. This organization has helped secure the freedom of Texans to choose which vaccines we and our children must, can, and would take. Their policies recognize that each person is different, and due to those genetic differences, different decisions must be made by different people. Our right to make informed decisions with our doctors is of paramount importance.

This work touches my story to its very core. As many know, due to a radical and unconstitutional move made by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, I am foreclosed from making every decision with respect to the health, safety, and well-being of my children. I am named their sole custodian, but in effect, another order has Unconstitutionally deprived me of my privacy interests in the raising of my children. My family is a family who sought political refuge in Texas, and we are grateful for the work people like Jackie Schlegel, who, having never met us, put in for our parenting and privacy rights every single day. She is a true National Treasure.

I have yet to meet someone who truly stands against TMF. When pressed, no one can stand firm against the simple mission of ensuring Government stays out of medical choices. Of course there are persons who have been affected by abuse or neglect, and I do not diminish their plight. However, absent actions that are illegal no matter the victim, no one can name a topic when growing up they would have rather the Government decide than their parent. With the work of TMF it is now punishable in Texas to have a vaccine mandate to gain a benefit from an employer, to become a patient of a medical practice, or enrolled in a school. Vaccine mandate bans are not universal; but they are making their way toward universality in Texas.

The event was well attended, and the speakers were captivating as well as informative. We heard both from persons who have had vaccinations and those who have not; those who have vaccinated their families and those who have not. It was truly an event for free choice and medical privacy. This is all any of us want: the freedom to choose our doctors and make informed decisions without Government interference. No matter what the disorder or the treatment, Parents call the shots!!!

We know ourselves. We know our children. We know our doctors. The Government is an outsider and should not force its way in.
