Mini Parental Rights Capitol Day (last of the year)

Come hear SCR 1 – Parental Right Amendment and show your support for Parental Rights as it moves to the House. https://legiscan.com/OK/bill/SCR1/2019

Meet at 1 pm near the House Chambers (4th floor). We will then go to the 5th floor to hear this resolution on the House Floor. Stay longer to help us advocate for the remaining bills we support in the Senate.

Bring the kids! (We will also be taking a lot of photos so dress business casual as photos will be used for promotional materials.)

Frequently Asked Questions

Can we bring kids?

Kids are definitely welcome, but bring plenty of snacks, a stroller, books, and devices! We will have free Brave Bear shirts for the kids, please email info@okhpr.com with what sizes you need!

Where do I park?

There are two free parking lots available to visitors of the capital. The most convenient one is directly south of the Capitol (you will notice the oil well) and can be accessed by traveling north or south on Lincoln Blvd. The second parking lot can be accessed by traveling north on Lincoln and turning east onto 21st Street, then left onto the parking lot.

Please note: The second parking lot requires crossing Lincoln Blvd which is a high traffic street. Always use designated crosswalks where pedestrians have the right of way. Please consider parking in the second parking lot if not traveling with small children so that our families with children can have closer parking spots.

Also, please allow extra time to park, walk and go through metal detectors. We suggest planning at 15-20 minutes for this. We also encourage you to carpool if you have friends or neighbors also attending.

View a parking map available here. Entrances are marked with a blue marker and parking is marked with a red P.

What do we wear?

The dress is business casual, but many will be dressing up their mama bear shirts, too! COMFORTABLE SHOES ARE A MUST! Dressing for success is key to being taken seriously by your legislators.

BREAKING UPDATE

BREAKING:

THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT HAS PULLED THEIR PROPOSED RULE CHANGES.

Before you get too excited, WE SUSPECT, THEY WILL FOCUS ON PASSING SB 925, TRACKING AND SHAMING SCHOOLS INSTEAD. TO GET BOTH ACCOMPLISHED IN ONE YEAR WOULD BE STUPID SO WE PREDICT THESE RULES WILL BE BACK AT A LATER DATE SO STAY VIGILANT AS A MEMBER AT OKHPR.COM – WE DO NOT MISS A BEAT!

Last week SB 925 passed the Senate, it will be heard in the house next. Here is what we need you to do now.

 

  1. Email your State representative and ask that they “Vote no on SB 925”
  2. To find your state representative, use this website.  You need to email the legislator who is labeled “State House”, THIS IS THE LAST PERSON LISTED ONCE YOU INPUT YOUR ADDRESS. If you need any help, please reach out to our membership coordinator, Jessie Dolezel. (You can find her via our facebook action group!)
  3. In the subject of your email please write, “FROM YOUR CONSTITUENT- No on SB 925” At the end of your email include your full address.
  4. Give your Representative a phone call to follow up, asking that they vote NO on SB 925.

Urgent Action Needed! OSDH Proposes Rule Changes to School “Required” Vaccinations.

**UPDATE: THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT HAS PULLED THEIR PROPOSED RULE CHANGES. READ THE FULL UPDATE HERE**

We need your help now more than ever!

The Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH) is proposing rule changes that will “remove guidance within the rules that specifies the number of doses, minimum ages, and appropriate intervals for those vaccines, which are required, and replaces that guidance with general guidance stating adherence to ACIP recommendations for only those immunizations which are required for Oklahoma school and child care.”

These rule changes do not add new vaccines to the required schedule, however, they do add new doses.

Why do we care? With every new dose or vaccine added, our exemption rates will increase. This fact combined with SB 925, “Track and Shame Your School” (read it here) that just passed the Senate puts our exemption choices at risk in future years. Oklahoma does not need to follow aggressive federal recommendations when it comes to the school vaccination schedule. These changes could put us on the fast track of requiring more vaccines, such as the flu or HPV vaccines. This is unacceptable! 

Read the full rule changes here.

 

Here is what we need you to do:

 

  1. Submit a comment to the OSDH explaining why you oppose the proposed changes. Comments need to be submitted to the following website: https://tinyurl.com/OSDHComments When submitting your comment, please select “Chapter 535. Immunization Regulations” under “Main Subject for Comment”
  2. Copy your comments into an email to Governor Kevin Stitt. Email your comments to kevin.stitt@gov.ok.gov
  3. Join us at the OSDH meeting! We ask that you dress business casual to this meeting. We want to represent ourselves well. If you bring children, please bring quiet activities for them and be prepared to step out of the meeting room if they become noisy. The public hearing for the proposed changes will be on March 19, 2019, at the Oklahoma State Department of Health, 1000 Northeast Tenth Street, Oklahoma City, OK 73117-1207, in room 1102 beginning at 10:00 a.m. In the event of state offices closing due to inclement weather, there will be an alternate hearing date on March 21, 2019, at the same location in room 1102 beginning at 10:00 a.m.

1984 or 2019?? Censorship is alive and well!

VAXXED IS PULLED FROM AMAZON 

The pro-pharma folk have won a significant victory today against safer vaccines and health freedom. Following Rep. Adam Schiff’s letter to Google and Facebook, Pinterest responded by removing searches about safer vaccines and vaccine injury so those who are questioning vaccines or want to learn more about the risks can no longer find this information and are limiting advertising possibilities.  YouTube also made the decision to limit the monetization of vaccine-questioning content on their platform.

Rep. Schiff sent a second letter to Amazon this morning, which resulted in Vaxxed being removed from Amazon Video, including Prime and streaming. It was available to stream in the U.S., UK, Canada and Australia and had been readily available since 2016 with Amazon earning healthy margins, especially on Prime.

Here’s the rationale Amazon provided for why it pulled Vaxxed:
Availability Issue: We are always listening to customer feedback and iterating on their behalf. During a quality assurance review, we found that the following title contains content that doesn’t meet our customer content quality expectations. As a result, all offers (“Included with Prime”, Buy, and Rent) have been removed. We will not be accepting resubmission of the impacted titles. This will not impact any royalties accrued through the date it was removed and will follow standard payment timelines.

(To note: The film stills seem to be available on DVD for now with over 3900 reviews and almost ALL of them are 5 stars.)

Also to note: if you contact Amazon customer service, they will reply that it was the “content provider” who made this decision. That is not accurate.

It’s important to note that Vaxxed can still be streamed in over 240 territories via Vimeo here: https://vimeo.com/ondemand/vaxxed

If you had ordered the film via Amazon and it is in your queue, you will have to ask them directly for a refund via the orders module.

If you watch this CNN report, you’ll see what Facebook – one of our key communication platforms – intends to do.

Here are some ways you help fight this act of blatant censorship and attempts to silence our community:

Continue supporting Vaxxed
Purchasing Vaxxed is the greatest method of support for the film, and protest of this censorship. Please do not pirate the film – this only harms our efforts. 

  • Vaxxed can still be streamed via Vimeo in 250 territories with the following subtitles: Spanish, Italian and French. Go here to watch.
  • And here for those who prefer a “clean” version.
  • Vaxxed can always be purchased directly here.

Protest Amazon
Let Amazon know that you want Vaxxed back up! Tell them via their social media, and send them a complaint:

And should you choose, #BoycottAmazon! If you contact Amazon customer service, you might be told that the “content provider” (as in us, the distributor), have pulled the film voluntarily. This is not true and likely because the customer service people are uninformed, not because it is the truth. We did not pull the film.

Contact Congressman Adam Schiff (D-CA)
Congressman Adam Schiff called for this censorship and wants to see Vaxxed and all related content about vaccine safety and health freedom disappear from public sight.

Here is where Adam Schiff can be reached via Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/RepAdamSchiff

Here is a post he did recently about the actions he took to get Vaxxed removed from social media and Amazon. Please go to this post directly and let him know that censorship will not be tolerated.

In order to protest his actions, whenever he makes a new Facebook post, drop the Vaxxed trailer in the comments section. Here is a link to the trailer:

Here are other ways you can reach Adam Schiff to let him know that his actions are un-American and that censorship of any kind will not be tolerated:

Twitter: @RepAdamSchiff
Suggested copy: Why do you oppose the Nuremberg Code (1947) of informed consent, and want to censor books & films by doctors who question the safety of multi-billion-dollar pharmaceutical products? Doctors and citizens have a right to #QuestionPharma #ProtectHealthFreedom #WatchVaxxed www.vaxxedthemovie.com

Instagram: @RepAdamSchiff,
Suggested copy: Why are you trying to censor Vaxxed? Doctors and parents are allowed to question billion-dollar pharma products. #QuestionPharma #ProtectHealthFreedom #WatchVaxxed www.vaxxedthemovie.com

Write him a letter. Share your story, and explain why you believe Vaxxed should not be censored. You can be firm, but please be civil and polite.  Here are the some talking points you can include in your letter:

  • The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has paid out over $4 billion since 1988 to those who have been injured or killed from vaccines. The US Supreme Court has ruled vaccines as “unavoidably unsafe.”
  • HHS received a federal mandate to continue to study vaccine safety but has admitted that they have not fulfilled this mandate for over 30 years.
  • NO LIABILITY: since the passing of the vaccine injury compensation act, drug manufacturers have been shielded from lawsuits by customers injured by their vaccines. This significantly increases the value of vaccines because there is no cost for legal defense or settlements like the 4.85 billion settlement against MERCK for its drug VIOXX.
  • NO LONG TERM/PLACEBO SAFETY TESTING: Vaccines are not required to go through long term safety studies with real salt water-based placebos.

Another documentary, INJECTING ALUMINUM, which questions the safety of the aluminum in the adjuvant, also released by the same distributor as Vaxxed and mentioned in the Wired UK article and in subsequent CNN coverage,
was also removed from Amazon Video although it remains up on DVD. Ironically, it is still listed as an “Amazon Choice” on DVD. (Learn more here).
