It was at a ReOpen Protest in Raleigh four years ago following the lockdowns, stay at home orders, church closures, social distancing rules, mask mandates, essential and non-essential class subdivisions, and the chilling introduction of “Operation Warp Speed” where I first began to realize that the salient issue of our day is freedom.
Freedom was the passion of every patriot who gathered and the chief concern of all who courageously spoke out against what had become an openly tyrannical government and a private sector who willingly functioned as the enforcement arm of the Police State.
As a student of history, I understood fully that we were witnessing a Communist Transition.
As a medical freedom advocate, I understood that the narrative surrounding Covid 19 was nothing more than a smokescreen—a means to an end by those who would wish to control us.
Communist Style Public Health Policy under the Trojan Horse of Pandemic is ground zero for the 21st century battlefield for human rights.
How could any of this happen in a nation whose cry from conception was “freedom”?
I wrestled with this question for days, weeks, months. I even struggled to define freedom.
I don’t think I have seen a better definition than in Rod Dreher’s “Live Not By Lies”.
“Freedom is a responsibility and a means to live within the Truth.”
When Freedom and Truth become untethered, both are sacrificed.
Four years later, I am still waiting for the word “Freedom” to find its rightful place in political discourse that we might regain the means to live within the Truth.
I am still waiting to go to a single Republican convention, Republican candidate forum, or Republican meeting where the word is mentioned much less championed or applied in some meaningful way.
Trump, party loyalty, border security, crime, economics, school choice, Convention of States, second amendment, election integrity, abortion, and winning elections…all party talking points are repeated everywhere I go.
The subdivided issues find their way into nearly every canned speech though very few seem to have any righteous well from which they are drawn, and there is recurrent failure to connect or discuss the intersection of the “issues” with human freedom.
We cannot see the forest for the trees.
Many of you are aware that a Medical Freedom Resolution authored by a Johnston County delegate has begun to sweep the state in just the last few weeks and has been adopted by multiple county conventions while making its way through dozens more in committee.

North Carolina is currently on fire for the cause of (medical) freedom.
We have every reason to believe the resolution will be championed at most, if not all, district conventions, though some in the Party are already working hard to quell the revolution and silence We the People.
Freedom has become a dirty word to many who would exchange it for the mirage of temporary security. Those who have made this exchange have begun to live quite willingly on their knees.
“Those who would exchange essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.” -Ben Franklin
To our elected officials and those in the Party who would wish to continue down this path versus enjoining the call to repeal Covid era Communist Public Health Policy and once again affirm our constitutionally enshrined rights to individual liberty, we will not be prostrating ourselves to the government to join you.
We would rather die on our feet than live on our knees.
I propose without reservation that medical freedom is the principal freedom upon which all others are pillared.
I propose that without the right to govern our own bodies and determine for ourselves what goes in them or on them without fear of reprisal, discrimination, or disparate treatment, all civil and constitutional freedoms are lost, and we are nothing more than slaves who live under the illusion of freedom.
It is sad to me that before moving on from this point, I must address the strawman argument by some within our own party, that the language of body autonomy is that of the pro-abortionist.
Do we actually have to clarify in 2024 that the body of a mother and the body of a child are wholly different bodies or explain that each has unique DNA?
Must it be stated plainly that the freedom to govern one’s own body in the context of dissenting from forced medical experiments, injections, tests, masks, etc. is not the same as suggesting that a woman’s body and a child’s body are one in the same?
As an aside, it is rather hypocritical that those who would throw around this strawman in an effort to end the medical freedom revolution appear to have zero issue whatsoever with the use of aborted fetal cell lines in the development of all C-19 injections and the vast majority of MANDATORY childhood injections.
To be clear, the majority of those in the medical freedom movement are abortion abolitionists. The majority want to end the use of dead baby parts in science and most certainly in vaccines and believe that any Republican Party that asserts that life begins at conception should be championing abolition and calling for a moratorium on all fetal cell line derived medicines, vaccines, and/or experiments.

One must ponder the hypocrisy of such a double-minded party. How do you champion the sanctity of human life and a platform that embraces life at conception while also championing (and often even endorsing mandates for) abortion-derived medical products? This is something not a single “pro-life” Republican legislator has been able to explain to me.
And so, I ask you, fellow North Carolinians, grassroots and party leaders…
If we secure the border, but do not have the freedom to travel within our own borders because we are unwilling to wear masks, be tested, tracked, traced or vaccine passported, what good is securing the border?
If we succeed at lowering crime, but can neither serve on juries nor testify in court or find ourselves on the receiving end of criminal charges because we are unwilling to wear masks, be tested, tracked, traced, or vaccine passported, what have we accomplished?
If we reform education, keep boys out of girls’ sports, restrooms, and locker rooms, clean up the libraries, and pass school choice, but our children cannot attend school or participate in extra curriculars if we are unwilling to mask them, test, track, trace, or vaccine passport them, what good is reforming education?
If we pass Convention of States, but have not the freedom to hold a convention or to travel to attend without being masked, tested, tracked, traced, or vaccine passported, what good is a Convention?
If we protect the second amendment, but we cannot get a gun permit without being masked, tested, tracked, traced, or vaccine passported, what good is the Second Amendment?
If we shore up the voter rolls, get hand count ballots, and achieve the highest levels of voter integrity, but we cannot get into the polls without being masked, tested, tracked, traced, or vaccine passported, what have we accomplished?
If we create jobs, lower interest rates, and shore up protections preventing digital currency from replacing cash, but we cannot secure employment apart from mask mandates without exemptions or “vaccinate or terminate” policies with built in discrimination and disparate treatment, what is the point?
If we incrementally end or abolish abortion but continue to allow abortion-derived medical products to be manufactured much less mandated as a condition of employment, education, or citizenship, forcing ALL Pro-Life North Carolinians to “benefit” from abortion indirectly, what have we accomplished other than participating in the greatest hypocrisy of our time?
Freedom doesn’t exist apart from medical freedom.
If you do not have the right to make your own medical decisions and to govern your own body and your own movement—if you have not within your grasp the inalienable rights enshrined in our founding documents, granted not by government but by our CREATOR, you are nothing more than a slave.
And a Republican Party that does not work to ensure (medical) freedom is no longer the Party that ended slavery, but the Party that works to rebuild it in a new era.
Let it be resolved that We the People of the great state of North Carolina do hereby proclaim as sovereign citizens whose rights are endowed by our Creator and affirmed by our founding documents, that no government entity whether executive, legislative, judicial, or administrative nor any private entity including, but not limited to businesses, schools, and places of employment shall ever have any authority to coerce or force upon ANY human being, born or unborn, ANY medical procedure or practice including, but not limited to masks, vaccines, medical experiments, pharmacologics, or any other medicinal product as a condition of citizenship, patronage, employment, education, worship, assembly, or movement.
“In keeping silent about evil, in burying it so deep within us that no sign of it appears on the surface, we are implanting it, and it will rise up a thousand-fold in the future. When we neither punish nor reproach evildoers, we are not simply protecting their trivial old age, we are thereby ripping the foundations of justice from beneath new generations.” -Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
