A Pledge to Restore our Nation and its Values

As our nation continues to grapple with the challenges of the present moment, it is more important than ever that we reaffirm our commitment to the values that have always made America great. From the founding of our country, we have stood for liberty, democracy, and the rule of law, and it is these principles that have allowed us to endure and thrive as a nation for more than two centuries.

Unfortunately, in recent years, we have seen these values come under threat as our government has increasingly turned to measures such as unending states of emergency, forced medical care, censorship and propaganda, and financial mismanagement and lack of transparency. These actions undermine the very foundations of our democracy and must be addressed if we are to restore our nation to its former glory.

In this blog post, we will outline a pledge to restore our nation and its values, with a focus on five key areas: revoking unending states of emergency, prohibiting forced medical care, ending censorship and propaganda, requiring government compliance with laws regarding financial management and spending transparency, and banning gain-of-function research. By taking these steps, we can ensure that our nation remains a beacon of hope and freedom for generations to come.

A Pledge to Restore our Nation and its Values - By Meryl Nass

1. ​REVOKE UNENDING STATES OF EMERGENCY
   I support limits on emergency powers. All government emergency laws, rules, regulations, orders, and directives that haven't undergone legislative review and approval must have strict time limits, not to exceed two weeks. (1)
2. PROHIBIT FORCED MEDICAL CARE
   I support the prohibition of all pandemic medical mandates enacted by federal, state, county, city, and private actors, including compulsory drugs, vaccines, vaccine passports, testing, and masking. (2)
3. END CENSORSHIP AND PROPAGANDA
   I support the termination of all federal and state funding used to censor citizens, misinform the American public, or restrict communication between people. (3)
4. REQUIRE GOVERNMENT COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS REGARDING FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT AND SPENDING TRANSPARENCY
   I support fiscal accountability of the US government as Constitutionally required. (4)
5. BAN GAIN-OF-FUNCTION RESEARCH
   ​I support the elimination of all “gain-of-function” research and related activities.  “Gain-of-function” is defined as the intentional manipulation of microorganisms to make them more virulent, dangerous, or contagious. (5)

Footnotes
(1) Shortsighted emergency laws allowed the executive branch of government to declare an emergency and continually renew it without input from the people, or approval by legislatures—infringing the separation of powers doctrine enshrined in the Constitution. This Pledge restores checks and balances to the conduct of emergencies.
Legislative and administrative government functions must restart within two weeks after a declared emergency. To renew emergency powers the following will be required: hearings on the emergency measures; notice and comment by the public; and approval by the legislature.
(2) Mandated medical tests, masks, drugs, vaccinations and vaccine passports violate the need for informed consent for medical procedures and the doctrine of bodily autonomy. Healthcare institutions, schools and the private sector received general financial incentives from the federal government, but only if they imposed these requirements on employees, patients and students. This is intolerable and must immediately end. 
(3) Government edicts abolished the First Amendment rights guaranteed to all:  freedom of speech, the press, religion, and assembly, without any means of timely redress. The government collaborated with mainstream media and social media companies to censor disagreement, while a 2013 amendment to the Smith-Mundt Act allowed the federal government to legally propagandize American citizens. 
Our rights must be restored. Government censorship and propaganda directed at citizens must end. Media companies that have received government funding or are regulated by the Federal Communications Commission must communicate truthfully and may not censor their users. 
(4) Federal agencies have written off trillions of dollars in undocumented transactions. For example, according to Reuters,
"The Defense Department’s Inspector General, in a June report, said the Army made $2.8 trillion in wrongful adjustments to accounting entries in one quarter alone in 2015, and $6.5 trillion for the year. Yet the Army lacked receipts and invoices to support those numbers or simply made them up... Disclosure of the Army’s manipulation of numbers is the latest example of the severe accounting problems plaguing the Defense Department for decades."

Yet the Constitution requires that “a regular Statement and Account of the Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money shall be published from time to time.” Government finances must become transparent and accountable to the public. 
(5)  After hundreds of potentially deadly accidents at US high-containment biolabs, “gain-of-function” research using federal funds was banned between 2014 and 2017. Yet NIH funding of coronavirus “gain-of-function” research in Wuhan, China, and Chapel Hill, North Carolina, continued despite the ban, and continues today.
According to an article titled, "Congress Demands Details of Secret CDC Lab Incidents Revealed,"
"USA TODAY… has revealed hundreds of accidents at corporate, university, government and military labs nationwide. It also has exposed a system of fragmented federal oversight and pervasive secrecy that obscures failings by facilities and regulators."
