The Legislators!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

We are proud of the champion legislators (like Rep. James White, pictured) in attendance who took a bold and public stand for vaccine choice and encouraged us to continue rising up against vaccine mandates. We look forward to supporting them and the legislation they file during this Special Session that will advance informed consent, medical privacy, and vaccine choice in our great state.

The VIP Panel Discussion Event!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

After the rally at the capitol, we hosted a special VIP Event featuring an intimate panel discussion with our guest speakers. Here they were able to speak more in depth on the issues important to them as well as take questions from those in attendance and participate in a lively meet-and-greet. Grab your own copy of this great discussion HERE.<\/a> (Photo by David Watts – LightbyWatts.com<\/a>)<\/em><\/p><\/div><\/div>
