SB727 must be defeated

 CLICK FOR CLARITY.

Dirty Deeds...

  "167.012. 1. For purposes of state law, a "home school" is a school, whether incorporated or unincorporated, that:(1) Has as its primary purpose the provision of private or religious-based instruction..." (Page 85 of SB727)

The above section of SB727--a now monstrous bill* that adds MORE government control, doling out of taxpayer dollars, data collection, and more--seems to be an attempt to abrogate the Second Amendment rights of Americans who home educate their children. See Catherine Dreher's tweet below. Note the explanation that would allow the possibility for prosecution of parents who have a gun in their home. Also note that the section was added AFTER the public hearing, precluding the ability of the citizens to comment upon it.

Dirty deeds. 

The globalist hangers-on in our government and their lobbyist comrades want full government control over our children. And it looks like they will do whatever it takes to get it.

SB727 should be killed and left to rot. School choice, as expressed in SB727, is a Trojan Horse.

This section was added after the public hearing so home schoolers were unable to voice their concerns. We are voicing them now, and they are valid and justifiable concerns, yet we are met with hostility and contempt. We also comprise a large portion of the grassroots. pic.twitter.com/PJGC5NGvUk

Further, there is now a legal opinion from attorneys. See tweet below. Click to enlarge the letter.

This is the FIRST actual LEGAL opinion I've seen from Attorneys regarding SB727 and the implications for homeschoolers having firearms in our homes. Everything else has been political or lobbyist opinions. #SB727 @MOFreedomCaucus #moleg pic.twitter.com/NMQ2RDeH4P

*The original bill was 12 pages. It is now a whopping 167 pages.

Must. Kill. SB727

Watch this and then call your Missouri representatives and ask them to vote NO on SB 727. A bill that started out 12 pages is now 167 pages and includes extremely problematic language for home educators. It's possible that parents who teach their children at home will be in danger of having their Second Amendment rights taken away if they have a gun in their home school.

Additionally, the bill has been blown up out of all proportion to its original intent. WATCH:

The Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrates

 

We the People of Missouri, Christian County Chapter, is holding Monday night book club meetings, beginning September 11, from 6-8 p.m., at Godfather's Pizza in Nixa.

The current selection is The Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrates: A Proper Resistance to Tyranny and a Repudiation of Unlimited Obedience to Civil Government, by Matthew J. Trewhella. Copies are available at the usual places, or here as a printable PDF document.

In light of the Second Amendment tyranny that New Mexico Gov. Michelle Grisham has visited upon the citizens of her state, The Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrates is a timely selection.

Captain Seth Keshel has written about the situation at his Substack, and recommends the book.

From his article "America Needs Statesmen":

"By allowing government oppression to take root one unjust ruling or illegal mandate at a time, we’ve now found ourselves pinned by a boulder so heavy, it requires divine intervention to get out from under here in the year 2023.  A predecessor of Michelle Lujan Grisham wouldn’t have had the guts to issue such a mandate when I was born, not even forty years ago.  It took incremental cuts into the tendons and sinews of our Constitutional framework to erode us to the point that we are begging our law enforcement to get with the program and uphold the law, and why we are now having to circulate The Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrates to re-educate our own citizens as to what their rights are."

The book is divided into twelve short chapters that increasingly define and explain the doctrine, how it came to be, the duty of lesser magistrates, and the role of the people. Several appendixes give supplemental information. 

The first meeting will give an overview of the book, giving participants extra time to get a copy if needed.
