Local government is absolutely critical, especially today.

There is never enough focus on the local government and most people think that all they can do is to help choose a president every four years as well as a couple of Senators and House Reps.

But local government is so much more important than that.

When tyranny abounds at the federal and even state level, your local county officials have the power to interpose against tyranny and stand in the gap between you and them.

This is something that we’ve seen in Virginia not long ago when the Democratic Governor was trying to intact some very strict gun laws over the state.

What ended up happening is that local sheriffs banded together to protect the Second Amendment rights of the citizens of their respective counties.

But what happens when that local government is also corrupt? Well, that’s when you need to start worrying because that’s where you’re going to lose some freedoms.

This is what happened in Washington D.C. recently as they passed a bill almost unanimously to grant little kids the right to choose to be vaccinated without their parents’ consent.

Look, I was that age once and most of us have had children of that age. They are in no state to logically evaluate risk vs. benefit when it comes to something like vaccinations.

Council member Trayon White Sr. (D-Ward 8) voted against the legislation. White, who has a 12-year-old son, said he sees 11-year-olds as too young to make independent decisions about their medical care.

“Parents have a fundamental right to direct the upbringing, education and care of their children,” White said, before claiming that vaccines, which are generally safe, are a risk to children’s health. White cited the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, which has been used by conspiracy theorists to argue that vaccines are dangerous.

“Medical professionals and schools should not be permitted to coerce impressionable minors into procedures capable of causing injury or death behind their parents’ back,” he said.

People seem to be very aware currently with the risks that the COVID-19 vaccination poses, but folks, if you don’t know this already, this is the case with every single vaccine that’s currently out there!

Stay active in your local government to pick officials who will not allow this to happen in your own town.
