Defeat Vax Mandates for Federal Employees in Court

With this fundraising effort, we are attempting preserve the Constitutional rights of federal employees. Specifically, we believe all U.S. citizens have the constitutional right to choose what they do and do not put in their bodies. Federal employees have been directed by the Biden Administration to get vaccinated or be subject to “employment discipline, up to and including termination.” We intend to fund a federal lawsuit in order to have this vaccination mandate struck down in federal court on constitutional grounds.

Tens of thousands of federal employees’ jobs and livelihoods have been threatened by the vaccine mandate. Most of us have religious or medical exemptions pending. We are standing and fighting now rather than leaving our jobs and the fates of our families in the hands of nameless, faceless bureaucrats, who may or may not respect our medical needs or religious beliefs. We believe the mandate violates the Constitution on multiple levels. The fact that religious and medical exemptions have been required assumes that the mandate is constitutional in the first place. We intend to have the mandate declared unconstitutional so that the need for an exemption becomes irrelevant.

1. Federal Court is the best chance we have to be forever free of the vaccine mandate. Even if our religious or medical exemptions are approved, are we still okay with the mandate, or future intrusions into the medical autonomy of U.S. citizens? Federal judges are, under the U.S. Constitution, delegated the exclusive authority to decide what is and is not constitutional. If a federal judge rules that the vaccine mandate for federal employees is unconstitutional, then it is game over. No more anxiety over whether or not religious and medical exemptions are accepted or denied.

2. Considering our cause will be blocked by the MSM and the big tech companies, raising funds will be more difficult. Because we anticipate being censored, the word needs to spread to as many people as possible at the grassroots level. Speak out against this. Be bold and stand strong. Post it to every social media platform you have. The initial funds received will be utilized to file the case at a federal district court. Any court victory will inevitably be appealed, so we will continue to raise funds for the likely (and expensive) appeal. Appellate attorneys are some of the most expensive in the country, and we need experienced appellate attorneys on our side for this effort.

3. There is potential that a positive ruling would not immediately apply to all federal employees. However, there is also potential that a positive ruling would apply to all federal employees. It will all depends on what grounds a judge makes his or her ruling on. We would obviously direct our attorneys to formulate the lawsuit with the objective of having a positive ruling apply to as many federal employees as possible. However, in an effort to maximize the potential for success, we would make as many arguments as possible. This is a double-edged sword. Some arguments, if they are accepted, would eventually apply to all federal employees. Other arguments would apply to a more limited number of federal employees. People need to understand that dynamic before considering making contributions to our cause. To date, there have been no federal court breakthroughs for federal employees with regard to the vaccine mandates. Consequently, it is imperative to simply obtain an initial victory on whatever grounds possible.

4. The time is ripe to pursue action. We believe this is true for a number of reasons. First, and probably most importantly, the data on Omicron variant is incredibly helpful for unvaccinated employees. For the first time, we are starting to see courts consider the fact that the vaccinated are in many cases as much–if not more likely–to contract and spread the emerging variants. We believe this completely undermines all the reasoning for the vaccine mandates. Also, troubling data is emerging regarding the adverse events associated with the vaccines. Courts are finally starting to consider this. They were not before. Second. the winning and losing arguments against vaccine mandates have emerged, and we have the benefit of all the hard legal work that went into those arguments. Finally, many federal employees may not have the luxury of time. Disciplinary action based on vaccination status seems to be on the immediate horizon. Federal court, particularly in the case of an injunction, is that fastest way to obtain legal relief from vaccine mandates and looming employment discipline. A win on constitutional grounds should strip the federal government of the ability to take any disciplinary action against its employees, regardless of our exemption requests.
