URGENT: Four Important Bills in Committee This Week - Your Help is Needed!
Aaaand "Action!"
Friends, hopefully you have already seen these “call to actions” over the weekend, but in case you missed them there is still time to contact the committee members regarding these bills.
Take a minute and send a message for these FOUR bills in committee this week:
Representative Kathy Edmonston’s HB182 simply removes the option for any school to require covid vaccination. Parents are free to make the choice without any coercive measures imposed by schools. Unbelievably, there are STILL schools in Louisiana requiring COVID-19 vaccination for children as young as FIVE!
Send a message to the members of House Education to support HB182:
Next, HB399 by Representative Kathy Edmonston will ensure that with any communication about vaccine requirements, the exemption law will be provided to students and parents, as well. Withholding vaccine exemption information is an egregious act of medical coercion, yet schools do it all the time.
Send a message to the members of House Education to support HB399:
These two bills will be heard on Tuesday, May 2, in House Room 5 at 9:00 am if you would like to provide testimony or submit a green card in support.
And many thanks to Representative Kathy Edmonston - she is a true champion of health freedom!!
Louisiana’s No Patient Left Alone Act, HB291, by Representative Chuck Owen will be heard in Senate Health and Welfare on Wednesday, May 3rd!
Please help this bill get passed another hurdle by sending a message TODAY to the members of the Senate Health and Welfare Committee to ask for its favorable passage.
If you would like to provide testimony or submit a green card in support, the hearing will take place on May 3rd in the Senate Hainkel Room at 11:00 am.
We cannot thank Representative Chuck Owen enough for carrying this vital legislation that will ensure that no patient, long term care resident, or hospice patient will be separated from family, loved ones, or clergy.
We wholeheartedly support Representative Gabe Firment in his efforts to protect children from incredibly harmful and deceptive “gender affirming care.”
Health Freedom Louisiana stands firm in our stance that no one in Louisiana has a right to harm any child.
HB463, also called The Save Adolescents From Experimentation Act, protects vulnerable children from the unethical and ideologically driven treatment of “gender affirming care” in Louisiana and will prohibit the use of “medical procedures that alter a minor's hormonal balance, remove a minor's sex organs, or otherwise change a minor's physical appearance” when performed for the purpose of enabling a minor to live as a purported identity inconsistent with the minor’s sex.
(This one will take a little extra work because our advocacy portal is dedicated to vaccine-related issues only, but we have provided all you need below for an easy-to-send email.)
Please send an email to the members of the House Health and Welfare Committee TODAY! Emails sent by noon on Monday will be added to the official record for the meeting.

Children are not able to take medicine at school without a parents permission, so they shouldn’t be able to talk to any one about a problem that the parents haven’t given permission to discuss or receive treatments. Parents have the final authority except where there is proven abuse.
