I urge you to support HP 26 to end forced vaccinations in our state. This important bill would restore people's ability to get religious and philosophical exemptions for vaccine requirements in schools, universities, and certain healthcare institutions. As we saw during Covid-19, governments imposed severe restrictions on our medical freedom, and these infringements are continuing. Also, forcing people to get a vaccine despite their religious or philosophical objections violates the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. To protect and restore our medical freedom, please support and enact HP 26.

I strongly request that you support HP 26, which will protect and restore vaccine freedom in Maine. It is unconscionable to deny people the ability to follow their sincere religious and philosophical convictions by forcing them to inject themselves with a vaccine. Please support HP 26, to restore vaccine freedom for students and healthcare workers, and to allow Mainers to freely follow their conscience.

I implore you to pass H.P. 26 to restore religious and philosophical exemptions for students and healthcare workers. These exemptions were removed in 2019. However, this has been detrimental to our liberty, and a direct violation of the 1st Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Government's role is to secure our rights, not to violate them. Please support and pass H.P. 26 to restore our ability to decline vaccines for religious and philosophical reasons.

Please restore our medical freedom, specifically regarding our right to decline vaccinations for philosophical and religious reasons, by enacting HP 26. As we've seen in the last several years, the government and other institutions have imposed severe vaccine mandates on citizens, without regard to their livelihoods or sincere religious or philosophical objections. This is unconstitutional and tyrannical. HP 26 would help restore medical freedom in this area. Please enact this bill.
