An Open Letter to Justin Amash: Speak Out for Informed Consent!


Justin Amash was a (G)OP member of the House of Representatives until he changed his party affiliation to Independent in 2019 and to Libertarian earlier this year.  He is the first sitting member of Congress to serve as a Libertarian Party member and has announced his candidacy for the LP nomination for President.  The LP is the only "third party" which will appear on all, or nearly all, state ballots this coming November.

The party's voter base has continued to grow.  See my previous blog entry:  https://tinyurl.com/OK2beLibertarian


Libertarian Party presidential vote totals for the past three presidential elections:

2008 - 523,715 - 0.40%
2012 - 1,275,971 - 0.99%
2016 - 4,488,914 - 3.28%

[Note: the 2016 total was greater than the difference between the two ruling parties.]

As my friend and mentor Maj. Gen. Bert Stubblebine reminded us four years ago, "Informed Consent is the defining issue of the 21st Century."


In that context, I have written the following note to Justin Amash - contact@justinamash.com:
   I am President of the Institute for Health Research - www.inhere.org - and presented a paper on Informed Consent at the Libertarian Scholars' Conference this past September at King's College, NYC.  http://www.inhere.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Informed-Consent.paper_.1a.pdf
   In cooperation with the Natural Solutions Foundation I am polling all presidential candidates regarding the universal right of Informed Consent and mandatory vaccinations. 
   What is Rep. Amash's position on this important liberty issue?  Does he support the right of Informed Consent?  Does he support the Nuremberg Code?  We are publicizing the candidate's positions at this web page:  http://drrimatruthreports.com/elect-an-informed-consent-president-in-2020/  
   If I do not hear from you within ten days I will assume that Rep. Amash does not support the right of Informed Consent and will so report.
Let's see how strong is the candidate's commitment to freedom... even during a time of declared pandemic.
