Bilirakis and Cammack Introduce SMALL GOVT ACT to Empower Americans and Protect Against Medical Discrimination
Washington, DC: Earlier today Representatives Gus Bilirakis and Kat Cammack filed the Stopping Mandates And Limiting Large Government Overreach by Valuing Truth (SMALL GOVT) Act to help protect Americans' medical freedom. The SMALL GOVT Act prohibits any entity from receiving federal funding if it discriminates on the basis of COVID vaccination status; whether vaccinated, unvaccinated, or having obtained natural immunity. Additionally, the legislation requires patients to give informed consent before receiving a COVID vaccine and for parental consent to be given before a minor can be vaccinated against COVID.
"All Americans deserve the freedom to make their own informed, personal choices about their healthcare decisions. After consultation with my physician, I made the personal choice that vaccination was right for me. Every American should have that same opportunity. And, taxpayer dollars should never be used to fund organizations that choose to violate this basic premise and discriminate on the basis of vaccine status," said Congressman Bilirakis. "Additionally, parents should always be empowered when it comes to healthcare decision-making for their children. This legislation addresses all three of these key issues. I will keep fighting to protect these basic medical freedoms for all Americans."
"I'm pleased to join Rep. Bilirakis on the SMALL GOVT Act to protect Americans' medical freedom and prevent discrimination on the basis of COVID vaccination status," said Rep. Cammack. "I've said it repeatedly and I'll say it again: the government cannot make these important medical decisions for you, and our bill will only reinforce this by preventing the use of federal funds by any organization that attempts to weaponize COVID vaccination status. It's unacceptable and I remain committed to ensuring medical freedom for all."
"The SMALL GOVT Act is a stellar example of a congressional representative working for the good of the people. A number of us concerned local businessmen couldn't come to grips with the fact that some agencies of our federal government, sworn to protect the rights of all Americans, could actually advocate termination for workers that refused COVID vaccines. We in the business community formed a citizens group called Not On Our Watch to fight for our freedoms. The SMALL GOVT Act is a fantastic step towards unwinding the encroachment on individuals' medical freedom and I hope to see broad Congressional support of it,"said Stu Rosenbaum of Palm Harbor.
