OPEN LETTER TO THE SAN FRANCISCO SHERIFF
Dear Sheriff Michael Hennessy, As concerned citizens of the United States and a citizen of California State, County of San Francisco, we respectfully ask for your attention to this matter.
As you know, the Federal Government is planning to implement a National Swine Flu program where every American willbe required to take up to three flu vaccines this year. Please refer to the “Swine Flu Vaccine Fact Sheet” for information about the flu vaccines that will be given to Americans, including young children, pregnant mothers and all first responders. Due to the toxic nature of these flu vaccines, lack of safety studies, vaccine ingredients and where the vaccines are coming from, as citizens, we are very concerned.
As you know, the County Sheriff has taken an “Oath of Office” to uphold the Constitution of the United States. “In order for the founding fathers to perpetuate the principles of the Constitution they secured a proviso in Article VI, paragraph 3 which states very clearly, … all executive and judicial officers, both of the United States and of the several states, shall be bound by oath or affirmation to support this constitution.”
The sheriff is the chief law enforcement officer in the country!
Our founding fathers knew that someday, the government could become oppressive and usurp their power against the people. The message is loud and clear to all peace keeping officers: you have sworn a solemn oath to uphold, support and obey the United States Constitution. That oath is to protect the people who voted him/her into a position. It is an oath to allegiance to liberty, freedom and justice.
America was founded as a Constitutional Republic, a representative form of government with extremely limited powers, confined within the parameters, expressively set forth by the supreme law of the land, the Constitution itself. The Bill of Rights prohibits Congress from making any law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof and prohibits the federal government from depriving any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law. The Bill of Rights plays a central role in American law and government, and remains a fundamental symbol of the freedoms and culture of the nation.
Sheriff Richard Mack and the Supreme Court Case 1997
In 1994, Congress and President Clinton passed the Brady Bill to promote gun control. A mandate went to all states ordering them to do their bidding and promote
gun control. Sheriff Mack of Arizona believed this to be a violation of the Constitution and sued the Federal Government. The Supreme Court ruled June 27, 1997 that “The Brady Bill was unconstitutional and that the Federal Government could not commander state our county officers for federal bidding.” In the ruling, Justice Scalia wrote for the majority, stating, “The Federal Government may not compel the states to enact or enforce a federal regulatory program.” Justice Scalia emphasized this point, “This separation of two spheres is one of the Constitution’s structural protections of liberty.
A healthy balance of power between States and the Federal Government will reduce the risk of tyranny and abuse from either front.”
It is clear that we the people and you, our county sheriff, have the power to stop any federal mandate from entering the county/state that violates the individual rights of the people. To force vaccinate, to impose fines or to imprison people who refuse the vaccine will make law-abiding American citizens criminals! To threaten, discriminate, and force parents to vaccinate their babies, force-vaccinate pregnant mothers, fire healthcare workers who refuse to vaccinate or threaten our freedom is wrong. This is a violation of our rights. The government has even stated that people who refuse the vaccine will be quarantined. The state of Massachusetts just passed a bill on Monday July 25, 2009 that will imprison anyone who refused the vaccine and fine them $1000. per day! Our liberty and freedom are in jeopardy.
We are asking that you, as our sheriff, please support and enforce the following: This is what we want:
- The right to refuse the vaccine for ourselves and our families.
- The right to self-quarantine if necessary, and we agree to do so.
- To be treated fairly and with respect.
- The right to peacefullyassemble for church and other functions
- We will take full responsibility to care for our families.
We acknowledge that if there is a major out-break; we will cooperate with our local peace keepers.
This is what we do not want:
- We do not want to be treated as criminals for refusing the vaccines.
- We do not want to be financially fined for refusing get vaccines.
- We do not want our children or ourselves quarantined for any reason.
- We do not want our children removed form any school or building without our informed consent.
We want to peacefully express the magnitude of this situation in an effort to successfully communicate our feelings and our expectations under the United States Constitution. There are people who feel strongly enough about this to resist with violence. This is an effort to avoid that scenario.
The community and the people you are charged to protect deserve to know where you stand on this crucial issue. For that reason, we request that you please sign a Statement of Intention. Thank you very much for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Signature Marvin Ramirez
