Thank you for the reminder there is nothing I can do about the WHO takeover. Writing my Rep or two Senators is not going to budge one democrat. The Committee on Foreign Relations operates under the same flag as the Committee on Armed Services. It's the U.N.'s flag.

I have sent a letter to my state rep. and sen. re public health and suggesting that Texas virtually divorces itself from all fed programs and bolster those instate. I specifically mentioned the w.h.o. “treaty”. Chip Roy my congressional rep and already there and my senators…….?

Ted Cruz is on the Committee on Foreign Relations and he knows he has a safe 'yes' vote on Johnson's bill because the Dems will never pass it. This is how it works. All GOP members can vote no and look good. They really don't want to be in charge.

Great idea for Texas. I’m sure the Governors and AGs in red states all talk to one another on strategies.

Exactly the point I made. My state rep has replied favorably to other e-mails I sent her and so will hope. My state Sen. is an emergency room doc so heaven knows where she will or can stand on this issue. Think Cruz a problem my other Sen. is Cornyn so…..

I agree that the Governors and AGs probably do talk, but most do nothing with that talk. Instead they pursue “safe” issues that few red staters disagree with, such as pro life and pro gun.

But don’t you dare cross the globalist agenda, even in red states. Our “red” state of Idaho is almost completely controlled by the corporatists (e.g., IACI.ORG), with only a few brave legislators (e.g., Idaho Freedom Caucus and a few others) speaking truth to power and standing for Constitutional principles and values.

Many Idahoans register with or identify as Republicans, but they do not support or vote for conservative, Consitutional values. In fact, many are supported by and vote with Democrats more often than not.

Like many here, I’ve called and emailed my US and State elected officials, with little to show for it. Some respond with platitudes that don’t reflect the initial query; others do not respond at all.

One strategy does appear to be working: the appeal to lesser magistrates (i.e., starting from the bottom of the elected official chain). For example, in Idaho, commissioners from three counties have signed unanimous (though non binding) resolutions advising against the gene modification shots. This is an ongoing and difficult effort, but it’s starting to gain traction. We welcome others to join the model. A standalone substack article with details and some tools for using this model will be available soon. It will be linked here (https://eolson47.substack.com/p/covid-essential-links and elsewhere). In the meantime, you can see the basics at https://eolson47.substack.com/i/137369913/boise-county-commissioners-advise-against-gene-therapy-shots

Understand a lot of new Idahoans are refugees from Calif. These vermin claim to be conservative but I have seen them change the I35 corridor in Texas from safely red in 2016 to purple in 2020 and getting bluer. And keep hearing how conservative they are. Horse hockey!

We are new (a couple of years now) refugees from the Portland area. We are more conservative and aware than many natives. The worst problems are the mainstream media and social media, and the bought and paid for politicians.

IACI is the corporatist/globalist business group that has captured much of Idaho’s bureaucracy, executive branch, courts, law enforcement, medical institutions, and many legislators. The Rs talk a good game when they campaign, only to betray a politically uneducated electorate. In ID, the primaries matter most. Democrats don’t often take the general elections but they do back the most left leaning Republicans they can — just as they did in CO, TX, and other states.

I had to learn all this the hard way, and created a voting guide that might help some in ID and other states: https://eolson47.substack.com/p/idaho-voting-guide-updated-91423

The problem we have here in Texas is that while smart, conservative voters control the primaries, the rino contingent in the House shoot down conservative proposals and run with the dems. 3 consecutive speakers have put dem chairmen in essential committees. As I told Shelley, these rinos may be holdouts dems from the Rayburn/l.b.j. days. Hopefully their absurd impeachment of Paxton exposed them and they may be facing fate of the dodos,

Same problem here in ID with RINOs shooting down conservative proposals and running with the Dems.

Last year I sent my state rep and senator copies of other state's bills on issues that matter. I also send to legislative committee heads. I know that they have staff that keep track of what other states are doing but I send anyway so they know that the peons they serve aren't clueless. I will do the same this year.

I know about the Idaho Freedom Caucus through JBS. We need one here too. Did they not stop the ID COS last year?

Our legislators don’t have staff, but sending information to their official emails does go into the record.

Don’t know about COS and Idaho Freedom Caucus, but I’m not a fan of it. Our Idaho GOP Chairwoman wrote a good op-ed about it: https://idgop.org/2024/01/04/turning-to-a-convention-of-states-in-times-of-national-crisis-is-not-the-answer/

Here is some information about the State Freedom Caucus Network in case you want to get involved and start one for your state: https://statefreedomcaucus.org/

Thanks for the links. I'm sort of busy with JBS but I do hope that some of my state leg members implement a caucus like that.

Another great way to see what is happening in your state and others as well is to sign up for a free emailed newsletter. I don't have an unbiased newspaper here so I get Missouri news via The Center Square which is published by the Franklin News Foundation. https://www.thecentersquare.com/site/about/newsletters.html

Perhaps ask your most freedom loving legislators to look into starting a freedom caucus and enlist friends to make the same request. Sometimes the requests of many will register when a single request does not.

This has been a gnawing suspicion of mine.
