HomeMy WebLinkAboutCOM 0525.012 2008-2010 b Q` Aloha Council Members, I am grateful for my protected right of "Free Speech," and your time and attention to listen to my views on this resolution 237-09. I was in attendance at the first Counsel meeting for this resolution and happy to speak as an advocate for it. I stayed after the public testimony to hear the member's opinions towards it and was pleased to see it move forward. There were two issues of the "follow up" discussions that I would like to speak to. The first being the fact no one was brought in to speak as in defense of vaccine programs. A missed opportunity I might agree, but; it was also stated that even if there had been, it would all get rehashed at the state level. Such a debate will look like this, Profession&on both sides with an alphabet soup of acronyms behind their names spewing medical jargon each with their case studies and proof positive of their claims, with contemptuous attitudes towards the inarticulate laity. Please don't waste this Councils valuable time with this dog and pony show only to have it replayed in Honolulu. Comm. No. /.b Ref. To; uL Ref, Cate OCT 21 2gg3 P O The real heart of the matter at hand is the sovereignty over one's own body. Can the State, Federal Government or some outside world Health Organization circumvent the U.S. Constitution and forcibly inject me with a vaccine, or incarcerate me with my civil liberties revoked. The very thought of it should be morally repugnant to every American. This is not communist China, where the collective good is invoked in order to violate human rights and devalue the rights of the individual: this is America where we have a choice to determine what's best for ourselves and our children's health! There is No freedom without the freedom to say NO ! More and more the Federal Government is signing treaties and directives that Congress or the people never get to debate, ratify, or weight against the Constitution. They send down unfunded mandates, and pass programs with the bad taste of collectivism, moving farther and farther away from limited Government and the Enforcement of our Constitutional Rights. D If we "as the people" working together with small Government entities such as yourselves; don't start putting them on notice with resolutions like this one, stating in essence "Don't tread on our civil liberties" your positions will, in the not so distant future will be that of only Administration. My nekt issue is "T"ime is of the essence" I disagree with the thought that it was not. Every day this swine flu fear mongering gets louder and louder. Already the WHO has declared a bevel 6 pandemic alert, their highest level. Also, the foot is in the door for some kind of unconstitutional health care program, with who knows what to be written amongst the hundreds of pages. It's time to put the State and the Fed on notice; that our civil liberties will not be violated. "Time is of the essence." Mahalo, for your time. Noland Miller Waikoloa, HI
