Democrats and Republicans form two intramural wings of a wholly corrupt Corporate War Party.
As such, I say write the pledge as pure in spirit as to what you intend and forget mollifying two private captured and corrupt parties that are largely theatrical.
You may end up Horseshoeing an alliance that will become a peaceful resolution.
The Two Party illusion is crucial to funneling the masses into tribes, but the chiefs of "both" tribes are Finkle and Einhorn. They are the same. Yes I did. Yes I did just tie a political set of points in with Ace Ventura.
I'll be over here on the Etch a Sketch if you need anything.
Get rid of the childhood vax schedule all together. It's unnecessary, but I know that's a non-starter. Get rid of all virus research. It has given us nothing but trouble. I know that's also a non-starter.
Yes to gain of function ban! A lot of people are scared of catching "the virus" and actually believe that masks and vaccines being required by those around them makes them feel more safe so there would be pushback by many to oath#2. The propaganda of fear has affected democrats more than republicans. Some considering our selves Democrats would still sign.
I’ve done a little cleanup to fix a few punctuation/grammatical issues and perhaps(?) make this more palatable to a Democrat.
Do you think we can incorporate a quote? I’ll add it but realize it may make it too lengthy (although it may help them understand why #1 is so important).
I support limits on government powers conferred by emergency declarations. All government emergency laws, rules, regulations, orders, and any other directives must have strict time limits not to exceed two weeks. Legislative and/or administrative government actions must recommence immediately at the end of two weeks. Emergency declarations may never be renewed without legislative hearings on the rationale for the emergency measures and their alternatives.
I commit to defending Americans against authoritarian infringements on their rights in the name of emergencies, as F.A. Hayek wisely warned:
“‘Emergencies’ have always been the pretext on which the safeguards of individual liberty have been eroded—and once they are suspended it is not difficult for anyone who has assumed such emergency powers to see to it that the emergency will persist.”
2. PROHIBIT MEDICAL MANDATES
I support the prohibition and immediate revocation of all medical mandates enacted by federal, state, county, city, and private actors, including compulsory mandates for vaccines, vaccine passports, testing, and masking.
3. PROHIBIT GOVERNMENT PROPAGANDA, CENSORSHIP & RESTRICTED COMMUNICATIONS
I support the termination of all federal and state funding used for propagandizing the American public, censoring citizens, or restricting communication between people.
4. PROHIBIT GAIN-OF-FUNCTION RESEARCH
I support the elimination of all gain-of-function research, including the intentional manipulation of microorganisms to make them more virulent, dangerous, or contagious.
I think there is another thing, not unique to covid. Once a treatment/vaccine is enforced by state or Federal law (childrens vax schedule in mind). Providers of the treatment and mandators must make all transparent. There is nothing that may be proprietary. All data, adverse or not, all ingredients must be laid bare for all to study and evaluate. That needs to be a requirement before the mandate can happen. I include children’s vax schedule as a mandate here.
It is true that Democrats would never agree to it. Democrats as a group have been heavily propagandized to believe that only people on the "far right" or "crazy Republicans" are against vaccine mandates or against censoring "misinformation" about COVID. Nothing can convince them that many on the left (left of Democrats) are very concerned about our loss of civil liberties.
I used to vote Democrat, but am so disgusted by the last two years, I am pretty done with them, both parties have failed us miserably, although there a few outliers, such as Sen Johnson. I understand what you are saying, that perhaps some of the very rabid, defend- the- current admin-at- all- costs sort of person might not like number three. But I think it is essential to keep this in the pledge to prevent future actions of a similar sort from happening again. We should at least attempt to do something along those lines. Also, I love item number 4. If they had stopped funding that junk, we might not be in this mess.
Thanks for all you do.
I love the "no Gain of DARPA". That's kind of where we're at now with who is running the show and driving ridiculously dangerous things onto an unsuspecting and overly trusting public.
Saagar Enjeti of Breaking Points did a powerful monologue about the rise of social libertarians: People who want to be left alone and not be told how to live. As a leftist that is disgusted with the censorship, wokeness and authoritarianism of my former allies, this is my new tribe. They are the audience for this pledge, which could serve as an organizing tool to find each other.
Technically, I believe GoF research is already illegal under the Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act of 1989. In many respects, it’s not about banning it so much as adherence to the law. When the law is violated, no one seems to pay a penalty, so it continues (like so many things).
A similar view might be taken on medical mandates, which violate constitutional rights; as does limitless ‘emergencies’ and censorship, which the executive uses to sidestep the constitution.
The letter of the law is only as good as it is upheld and enforced.
I agree with the intentions, but really, you're acting like the Constitution doesn't already address these things. Listen to RFK, Jr. on this topic - he's very eloquent. There is no pandemic or emergency exception for any of our rights under the Constitution, nor does the Constitution give government that power. Informed consent for medical procedures is already the law. No business may be deemed "unessential" and closed without due process of law (4th Amendment). The right to freedom of the press, speech, religion, assembly, travel, association, are guaranteed without exception. The Federal Reserve System which printed relief checks out of thin air and gave the government money to pay hospitals bonuses for following the NIH death protocols and pay Pfizer and Moderna for their kill shots, is unconstitutional. No schools would have closed if we ended the government monopoly on education. Gain of function research is not one of the enumerated powers of the federal government, so it's already prohibited. None of the harmful COVID actions would have been possible if we just got back to the constitution. Everyone is asking "How can we reform the system?", but that question is totally irrelevant and unnecessary. Just follow the law, the highest law of the land, the Constitution. Period. Problem solved. The question is, "Do we really want to be free?" Freedom is hard. It means giving up the "security" of various "safety nets" like social security, Medicare, and welfare. But there was a time when those programs didn't exist, and charity picked up the slack. Yes, it's hard, yes it's scary, but that's life. We need to grow up and stop looking to Daddy Government to take care of us.

A Pledge to Restore Our Democratic Values
1. REVOKE COVID EMERGENCY LAWS & INTRODUCE LEGISLATIVE REVIEW OF EMERGENCIES
I support limits on government powers conferred by emergency declarations. All government emergency laws, rules, regulations, orders, and any other directives must have strict time limits not to exceed two weeks. Legislative and/or administrative government actions must recommence immediately at the end of two weeks. Emergency declarations may never be renewed without legislative hearings on the rationale for the emergency measures and their alternatives.

2. PROHIBIT MEDICAL MANDATES

3. PROHIBIT GOVERNMENT PROPAGANDA, CENSORSHIP & RESTRICTED COMMUNICATIONS
I support the termination of all federal and state funding used for propagandizing the American public, censoring citizens, or restricting communication between people.
4. PROHIBIT GAIN-OF-FUNCTION RESEARCH

Add #4 for sure!

"no government support of any kind for gain of function research"
All GOF research, government or privately funded should be banned.
Hi Dr Nass,

The Dims will never go for this, because they lose their Nazi stronghold on America!

I don’t need the government to think for me!
Thank you I will do all my own thinking and decisions for myself.
Liberty or death.....
YES!!!!
