Mandate Removed From Indiana HPV Vaccine Bill

A crucial amendment removed the mandate from SB 327 and adopted by the committee by a vote of 9-2. The amended bill passed the committee unanimously and only requires schools to provide information about the HPV vaccine, not the vaccine itself, to 6th grade girls and their parents. The bill requires parents to provide written statement to the state confirming whether their daughter received the shot or not. This begs the question: if the vaccine isn't required by the state, why are the parents required to report their decision to the state?

Start a Book Club and Get Your State's Legislature Involved

Arizona Eagles Karen Winfield and Sen. Karen Johnson have invited supportive legislators to speak at their Judicial Supremacy Book Club. By putting a legislator in charge of a particular chapter, he or she must read and study at least one chapter of Phyllis’s book, The Supremacists. Arizona Senator Chuck Gray, a former police officer, led the discussion on Chapter 8, "How Judges Handicap Law Enforcement." He got an idea for a reform bill from the chapter, discussed it with the book club, and came back the following day with SB 1167 drafted. The bill has passed the Senate and will move to the House committee.

Sharon was also honored several years ago by the National Right to Read Organization as its "Teacher of the Year," because she continued teaching phonics during her 20 years teaching kindergarten, even after California adopted the "whole language method."

Arizona Eagle Forum Leader Sen. Johnson in the News

"The courts do their own thing," Sen. Karen Johnson said, "They're making up law out of how they feel about things. They're not following the Constitution."

To solve this problem, Sen. Johnson sponsored SCR 1026, which would take away jurisdiction from the Arizona courts to hear cases relating to expressions of religion in the public sphere, especially religious expression relating to the Pledge or the Ten Commandments. Arizona Daily Star, 1-31-07
