When Parents Have Had Enough, They Mount a Full Push-Back Campaign
Tired of tyranny in your schools? What can you do to effect meaningful change?
On Wednesday evening November 17, a filled to capacity

room full of parents gathered to discuss and become empowered to fight for their rights and freedoms with the local school systems. The meeting featured Gordana Schiffenalli (candidate for Lt. Governor Maryland) and Wayne Markey (Constitutional Lawyer) who offered solutions from different perspectives.
When Gordana Schiffenalli saw that the children could not attend school, but were encouraged to march on behalf of defunding the police she knew something was drastically wrong at the local school board. She took action, elected a new school board and made sure mask and vaccine mandates in the schools would be forever non-existent.
Wayne Markey has worked exclusively on Constitutional issues for over 20 years. However government Constitutional violations over the past year and a half is at unprecedented levels.
The purpose of this blog is to share ACTION items from this meeting.

A Call to Action: Postcard Campaign
One effective means of making an impact on an elected representative is a "postcard campaign". We have identified Governor Hogan, Dennis Schrader (Secretary of Health) and Mohammad Choudhury (State Superintendent of Schools) as KEY DECISION-MAKERS who we should contact to voice our concerns over mandates.
It's simple!
1. Take three postcards (one for Hogan, one for Schrader, and one for Choudhury).
2. Using the addresses listed below for each recipient, address the postcard
3. On the flip side, write a simple note voicing your concerns over mandates.
Sample language below:
Mandates: My name is [your name] and I am a resident of [your county] County. Vaccine and mask mandates are unconstitutional not to mention unnecessary. These draconian measures have gone on long enough causing untold misery for the citizens of Maryland. This virus has a 99% survival rate for the average citizen and we must stop forcing our citizens to abide by measures that have not in any way been proven to be effective in stopping the transmission of Covid-19.
Vaccine specific: My name is [your name] and I am a resident of [your county] County. Vaccine Mandates are unconstitutional not to mention dangerous and unnecessary. Bodily autonomy is settled law in America. Forcing citizens to inject themselves with a shot that does not stop virus transmission is a direct violation of our constitutional rights. We cannot force American citizens to choose between their health and their livelihoods. Doing so is inhumane and must be stopped immediately.
Mask specific: My name is [your name] and I am a resident of [your county] County. The Covid-19 virus is 5 times smaller than the size of the holes in the masks. This might explain why there are over 30 studies which have concluded masks do not offer any meaningful protection from human-to-human transmission and infectivity of Covid-19. However, the adverse physiological and psychological effects of wearing a face mask are well-documented. Lastly, the flu is far more deadly to children yet, historically, we have never masked them or instituted these draconian health protocols for the flu? Let us get back to common sense: Children who are symptomatic should stay home and quarantine for as long as recommended, just as has been the practice for decades for transmissible illnesses.

CALL-TO-ACTION: FACE-TO-FACE ACCOUNTABILITY MEETINGS
Make an appointment with heads of schools to provide them with facts about masks/ shot.
TALKING POINTS: Masks
Are you aware only 10 states currently impose mask mandates and there is ZERO discernable difference in the rate of hospitalization in those states vs. state which do not require masks. There are COUNTLESS examples of this around the world. We have 18 months of data to make informed decisions and balance risks vs. reward. Let's use it! https://www.aarp.org/politics-society/government-elections/info-2020/coronavirus-state-restrictions.html?utm_source=pocket_mylist
https://covidtracking.com/data/charts/currently-hospitalized-by-state
Are you aware more children died of the flu during the 2018-2019 season (480) than in the entire 18 months Covid-19 data has been collected (454)?
We never masked or initiated mitigating protocols. Can you tell me why this fact is being ignored? Covid is not a serious threat to children nor have schools been found to be at the root of super spreader events
SOURCE: Covid Deaths ages 0-18 vs. Flu 2018-2019 https://data.cdc.gov/NCHS/Provisional-COVID-19-Deaths-Focus-on-Ages-0-18-Yea/nr4s-juj3]
Are you aware there is no scientific consensus on the efficacy of Masks? A November 2020 NIH research concluded "both medical and non-medical face masks are ineffective to block human-to-human transmission of viral and infectious disease such as SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19"
SOURCE: CDC Study [Nonpharmaceutical Measures for Pandemic Influenza in Nonhealthcare Settings—Personal Protective and Environmental Measures for mitigating airborne viruses] concludes the ineffectiveness of masks: https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/26/5/19-0994_article]
Are you aware there is no meaningful statistical difference between the rate of transmission in Schools with mask mandate policies vs. schools with mask optional policies.
SOURCE: CDC Unmask v Masked Schools (Georgia) concludes no statistical advantage between schools with mask mandates vs. mask optional policies: https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7021e1.htm?#T1_down]
Are you aware children are at greater risk of experiencing long-lasting adverse psychological and developmental effects from wearing a mask than from covid-19? We must balance our attempts to mitigate the spread of the Covid-19 virus with a concern for the potential impactful health effects that prolonged mask wearing may cause for children, especially those under the age of 12.

Are you aware Sweden has the lowest rate of hospitalization of all it's neighbors in the EU despite having not followed any of the draconian measures like mandating masks, lockdowns, vaccines, and testing imposed upon the rest of the world? (Source: World Data; SOURCE: https://www.thenationalnews.com/world/europe/2021/11/12/sweden-breaks-ranks-in-covid-battle-again-with-no-test-stance/)
Are you aware There are over 30 studies concluding that masks are infective for stopping transmission? Source: https://sorendreier.com/list-of-30-studies-showing-face-masks-are-useless-against-covid-19/

TALKING POINTS: Vaccine Mandates
Are you aware the Covid-19 shot does not stop transmission?

Are you aware Vermont, our most vaccinated state, has the highest increase in hospitalizations?
SOURCE: https://vtdigger.org/2021/11/04/vermont-reports-record-setting-487-covid-19-cases/
Are you aware there is no discernable difference in death rates between predominately vaccinated and predominantly UNvaccinated countries?
SOURCE: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1105914/coronavirus-death-rates-worldwide/
Are you aware that the average time it takes to develop a vaccine is 10 years and this vaccine was developed 8 months despite the fact it was a novel virus having only been around 1 year? FYI: The average length of time a has been present in a population is 100yrs before development of a vaccine begins.
