In other words, you voted &#8216;yes&#8217; to increase government and to limit parental rights and personal responsibility.<\/p>\n<p>With this vote you joined the ranks of big government Democrats, denied the party to which you supposedly align, and disappointed Idahoans. Let me remind you of a few key tenants that make up the Idaho Republican Platform that you, on week one of the 2019 legislative session, completely and utterly disregarded.<\/p>\n<p>The preamble of the Idaho GOP Republican Platform states:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>We believe that our Founding Fathers gave us a government that is a servant of the people, not our master. The proper role of government is to provide for the people only those critical functions, which individuals or private organizations cannot perform.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Government (that&#8217;s you&#8230;for now) are to SERVE the people, not Lord over us. Every single vote that you make should consider this. Your &#8216;vote&#8217; in favor of vaccine mandates is directly in contrast with this value.<\/p>\n<p>Article XIII. Health and Welfare, Section 2, Paragraph D states:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>We believe the primary responsibility for the health and welfare of our citizens resides with the individual and their families.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Article XIII. Health and Welfare, Section 2, Paragraph E states:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>We support as supreme the authority of parents in all medical decisions for their children, including providers and treatments.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Article XIII. Health and Welfare, Section 2, Paragraph F states:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>We support freedom of choice and personal responsibility in all medical decisions, including providers and treatments.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>To be clear, the responsibility for health and welfare resides squarely with INDIVIDUALS and their FAMILIES, not the government as a whole, not the health and welfare committee, not the democrats, and not you.<\/p>\n<p>You have no right nor responsibility to vote for medical mandates on behalf of me or my children.<\/p>\n<p>Today, you did not represent small government, freedom, personal responsibility, your constituents, or the Idaho GOP platform. If you are a Republican start acting like one, because we&#8217;re watching every vote you cast.<\/p>\n<p>In liberty,<br \/>\nNatalie Feuerstein<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Image courtesy of Health Freedom Idaho<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Representatives\u00a0Fred Wood,\u00a0Jarom Wagoner,\u00a0Marc Gibbs, and\u00a0Laurie Lickley, Today [January 10, 2019], I watched as you voted &#8216;yes&#8217; to mandate the meningitis vaccine for children.
