Dear Friend,

I only share U.S. legislation news when it is a DIRE Emergency that affects
our basic human rights as outlined in the Constitution of the United States
of America. This is such a time, and your action is time-critical.

The second item in this edition of InfoQuest* is relative to citizens of
every country.

The following are the words of an acquaintance of mine who I consider a
great friend and brother when it comes to declaring Truth and taking action
to defend Truth; Jim Clymer:

--

Historically, when our nation has come under attack, the American people
have rallied together to defend their country and their homes. Such is the
case today.

Since the horrific events of September 11, the citizens of this great nation
have rallied together in outrage against the slaughter of over 3,000
innocent people.

Patriotism is no longer considered passe' or quaint and old fashioned.
Interest in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights has surged. And,
reflecting the natural tendency of Americans to protect themselves from
evil, both foreign and domestic, gun ownership is on the rise.

But a new enemy of Liberty has arisen that is, in its sinister nature,
quietly moving across our country like the Shadow of Death.

"The Model State Emergency Health Powers Act" (Model Health Act) has been
introduced in a number of states nationwide, and it bodes danger for those
who cherish freedom.

Drafted by an elite corps of bureaucrats and policy wonks in the Center for
Disease Control and distributed to the states by the Department of Health
and Human Services, it is intended to be a model to be enacted as law in all
fifty states. This legislation is to be passed allegedly to provide a
response in the event of a biological terrorist attack.

In reality, the Model Health Act is the greatest Liberty-revoking power grab
in over a century!

Consider some of the frightening provisions of this legislation:

* It grants the governor of the state 60 days (two months) ABSOLUTE control
over the affairs of the state by declaring a health emergency.

* It PROHIBITS the state legislature, which is the direct representative
body of We the People, from stopping the governor's effort to undermine the
rights of the people of that state within a 60-day period.

* It allows the "public health authority" (at the sole direction of the
governor) to "control, restrict, and regulate... the use, sale, dispensing,
or transportation of food, fuel, clothing, ...firearms...."

* It authorizes "...the collection of data and records, the control of
property, the management of persons, and access to and control of
communications."

* It authorizes forced inoculations without patient or parental consent.

* It prohibits citizens from suing for property damage or loss of life due
to an error on the governor's part or any employees under his direction.

In short, the Model Health Act is a threat to the Liberty and Rights of all
Americans, under the guise of "security!"

I implore you to contact your state legislator today to record your
opposition to the Model Health Act. Note - talking points follow.

** TALKING POINTS **

Preamble, Paragraph 3 and Section 103, "Purposes of this Act." This
legislation authorizes the collection of data and records, the control of
property, the management of persons and access to communications, all solely
at the order of the governor.

Section 305. After the governor has declared a state of emergency under this
law, only he can terminate it before it automatically expires after 30 days
at which point he can renew it. Only after this second 30-day period has
elapsed may the legislature terminate the state of emergency and then only
by a two-thirds majority of both chambers.

There is no need to invest all this power in the governor as chief
policeman. This legislature is perfectly capable of dealing with the
prospective health crisis in partnership with the governor and the courts.

Section 402(c). "Control of Materials. To control, restrict, and regulate by
rationing and using quotas, prohibitions on shipments, price fixing,
allocation or other means, the use, sale, dispensing, distribution, or
transportation of food fuel, clothing and other commodities, alcoholic
beverages, firearms, explosives, and combustibles,...."

Section 501. Allows the "Control of Individuals," mandatory medical
examinations and forcing medical personnel to perform tests against their
will.

Section 504. Allows mandatory vaccinations and treatments and access to all
medical records.

Section 804. Neither the state nor any state official can be held "liable
for the death of or any injury to persons, or damage to property, as a
result of complying with or attempting to comply with this Act...."

This legislation uses the danger of a major health crisis to give the
governor dictatorial power without the legislative or judicial checks that
our federal Republic is guaranteed in the Constitution and which that same
Constitution guarantees to the states in Article IV, Section 4. "The United
States shall guarantee to every state in the Union a Republican form of
government."

It is totally unnecessary to implement this dictatorship to solve even a
catastrophic health care crisis.

====================
====================

Jean Thompson stood in front of her fifth-grade class on the very first day
of school in the fall and told the children a lie.

Like most teachers, she looked at her pupils and said that she loved them
all the same, that she would treat them all alike.  And that was impossible
because there in front of her, slumped in his seat on the third row, was a
little boy named Teddy Stoddard.

Mrs. Thompson had watched Teddy the year before and noticed he didn't play
well with the other children, that his clothes were unkempt and that he
constantly needed a bath.  And Teddy was unpleasant.  It got to the point
during the first few months that she would actually take delight in marking
his papers with a broad red pen, making bold X's and then marking the F at
the top of the paper biggest of all.

Because Teddy was a sullen little boy, no one else seemed to enjoy him,
either.

At the school where Mrs. Thompson taught, she was required to review each
child's records and put Teddy's off until last.  When she opened his file,
she was in for a surprise.

His first-grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is a bright, inquisitive child with a
ready laugh.  He does his work neatly and has good manners...he is a joy to
be around."

His second-grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is an excellent student well-liked by
his classmates, but he is troubled because his mother has a terminal illness
and life at home must be a struggle."

His third-grade teacher wrote, "Teddy continues to work hard but his
mother's death has been hard on him.  He tries to do his best but his father
doesn't show much interest and his home life will soon affect him if some
steps aren't taken."

Teddy's fourth-grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is  withdrawn and doesn't show
much interest in school.  He doesn't have many friends and sometimes sleeps
in class.  He is tardy and could become a problem."

By now Mrs. Thompson realized the problem but Christmas was coming fast.  It
was all she could do, with the school play and all, until the day before the
holidays began and she was suddenly forced to focus on Teddy Stoddard.

Her children brought her presents, all in beautiful ribbon and bright paper,
except for Teddy's, which was clumsily wrapped in the heavy, brown paper of
a scissored grocery bag.

Mrs. Thompson took pains to open it in the middle of the other presents.

Some of the children started to laugh when she found a rhinestone bracelet
with some of the stones missing, and a bottle that was one-quarter full of
cologne.  She stifled the children's laughter when she exclaimed how pretty
the bracelet was, putting it on, and dabbing some of the perfume behind the
other wrist.

Teddy Stoddard stayed behind just long enough to say, "Mrs. Thompson, today
you smelled just like my mom used to."  After the children left she cried
for at least an hour.

On that very day, she quit teaching reading, and writing, and speaking.

Instead, she began to teach children.

Jean Thompson paid particular attention to one they all called "Teddy."  As
she worked with him, his mind seemed to come alive.  The more she encouraged
him, the faster he responded.

On days there would be an important test, Mrs. Thompson would remember that
cologne.  By the end of the year he had become one of the smartest children
in the class and...well, he had also become the "pet" of the teacher who had
once vowed to love all of her children exactly the same.

A year later she found a note under her door, from Teddy, telling her that
of all the teachers he'd had in elementary school, she was his favorite.

Six years went by before she got another note from Teddy.  He then wrote
that he had finished high school, third in his class, and she was still his
favorite teacher of all time.

Four years after that, she got another letter, saying that while things had
been tough at times, he'd stayed in school, had stuck with it, and would
graduate from college with the highest of honors.  He assured Mrs. Thompson
she was still his favorite teacher.

Then four more years passed and yet another letter came. This time
he explained that after he got his bachelor's degree, he decided to go a
little further.  The letter explained that she was still his favorite
teacher but that now his name was a little longer.  The letter was signed,
Theodore F. Stoddard, M.D.

The story doesn't end there.  You see, there was yet another letter that
Spring.  Teddy said he'd met this girl and was to be married.  He explained
that his father had died a couple of years ago and he was wondering...well,
if Mrs. Thompson might agree to sit in the pew usually reserved for the
mother of the groom.  And guess what, she wore that bracelet, the one with
several rhinestones missing.  And I bet on that special day, Jean Thompson
smelled just like... well, just like the way Teddy remembered his mother
smelling on their last Christmas together.
