This week, the MN House released its Omnibus Health Bill which is a Trojan horse for further codifying abortion provisions into our state laws. Acting Director of Public Policy, Rebecca Delahunt, explains how this bill would strip funding from Pregnancy Resource Centers, expand taxpayer funding of abortion, eliminate abortion reporting requirements and all remaining protections for vulnerable women and girls facing unplanned pregnancies, and allow medical staff to leave babies who survive an abortion to die. Plus, Rebecca explains how the so-called Equal Rights Amendment erases womanhood and gives an update on the Kidnapping Bill. Get the facts, stand for truth!

There's a bill in the Idaho state legislature that is almost exactly what we need more of in America today. If enacted into law, it would make the administering of any mRNA vaccines illegal. The only thing I don't like about the bill is that it makes the act a misdemeanor when I believe it should be a felony.I talked about it for tomorrow's episode of The JD Rucker Show. Here's the story by JD Heyes from Natural News that breaks down the details:Idaho Legislators Introduce Measure Criminalizing COVID Vaccines Throughout the StateThe GOP-controlled Idaho legislature is taking the most radical step yet in regards to pushing back against the administration of increasingly risky, and some say even deadly, COVID-19 vaccines.As reported by KTVB7, “two Idaho lawmakers have introduced a bill to charge those who administer mRNA vaccines with a misdemeanor.”The House Health & Welfare Committee was presented with HB 154, which was sponsored by Sen. Tammy Nichols, R-Middleton, and Rep. Judy Boyle, R-Midvale, on February 15. The bill prohibits individuals from providing or administering a vaccine that uses messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) technology for use in humans or animals within the state.During her presentation to the committee, Nichols explained that the bill would make it a misdemeanor for anyone to provide or administer mRNA vaccines for use in humans or animals in the state of Idaho. Nichols expressed concern about the speed with which the COVID-19 vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna were developed and the lack of liability, informed consent, or data on mRNA vaccines. However, she later clarified that her remarks were specific to the two COVID-19 vaccines.“I think there is a lot of information that comes out with concerns to blood clots and heart issues,” Nichols noted, per the outlet.During the hearing, Nichols' statement that the vaccines were fast-tracked was questioned by Rep. Ilana Rubel, D-Boise, even though they clearly were; most vaccines take years to develop but the COVID jabs were rushed into arms in about a year under then-President Donald Trump's “Operation Warp Speed” program. Rubel said the vaccines allegedly survived testing (which, again, was rushed, and negative results were hidden) and then eventually approved by the FDA.Nichols said she finds it “may not have been done like we thought it should've been done.”“There are other shots we could utilize that don't have mRNA in it,” Nichols added.Messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines are a type of vaccine that uses a small piece of genetic material called mRNA to stimulate an immune response in the body. The mRNA provides instructions for cells in the body to produce a protein that is found on the surface of a virus or bacteria, which triggers an immune response. This immune response allows the body to build up immunity to the virus or bacteria without actually causing an infection, according to John Hopkins Medicine. The COVID-19 vaccines developed by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna are examples of mRNA vaccines.In November 2021, the British Medical Journal published a report alleging data integrity issues with the clinical trials conducted for the COVID-19 vaccine from Pfizer and BioNTech. The report was based on information provided by a whistleblower and corroborated by others involved in the trial.The allegations included falsified data, unblinded patients, inadequately trained vaccinators, and delayed follow-up on adverse events. The whistleblower, a former regional director for Ventavia Research Group, supplied the BMJ with supporting documentation, including audio recordings, emails, and photos.Ventavia was contracted by the pharmaceutical companies to assist with the pivotal phase III trial. The whistleblower claimed that she repeatedly raised concerns about patient safety, data integrity, and poor lab management to superiors. She also reported her concerns to the FDA and was subsequently fired on the same day for being “not a good fit,” which she said was the first time she had been dismissed in her 20-year research career.Among the information provided to the journal by Jackson was a recording of a late September meeting in which she met with two directors of Ventavia to discuss a possible FDA inspection. One executive said to Jackson: “We're going to get some kind of letter of information at least, when the FDA gets here … I know it.”A senior executive can also be heard in the recording explaining that the company could not quantify the number and types of errors that were being identified. “In my mind, it's something new every day,” the individual said. “We know that it's significant.”Sources include:* KTVB.com* NaturalNews.com* NATURAL NEWS This is a public episode.

But, now you do, and that is information you may find useful. I’m your host, Sean Tubbs, and now here’s something I hope you’ll really like.In the 318th edition:The Blue Ridge Health District hits another one day record for COVID-19 with 800 casesA quick snapshot of where the General Assembly was as of this morning And the Central Virginia Regional Housing Partnership takes a look at “missing middle” housingFirst subscriber-supported public service announcement - #MLKCVILLEThe commemoration in Charlottesville of the life, times, and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. continues on Sunday with the 37th Community Celebration put on by the Mount Zion First African Baptist Church.

Visit and bookmark the YouTube mlkcville page to review last year’s celebration while you wait for Sunday at 4 p.m. New one-day record of new COVID cases in the Blue Ridge Health DistrictThe Virginia Department of Health reports another 800 new cases of COVID-19 in the Blue Ridge Health District. That’s the highest one day total so far. Those cases are among 17,027 reported across the Commonwealth today. The seven-day average for percent positivity statewide continues to decrease and is at 30.9 percent today. Kathryn Goodman of the Health District confirmed the numbers.“It is important that people follow multiple mitigation strategies to help prevent spreading COVID-19, which include staying home when sick, getting COVID-19 vaccines and boosters, wearing masks in public settings,” Goodman said. The highest plateau of hospitalization numbers so far continues with 3,836 new cases according to the Virginia Healthcare and Hospitalization Association. There are 632 patients in intensive care units and 387 are on ventilators. Today the UVA Health System has the most number of COVID patients then at any time of the pandemic to date. Wendy Horton is the Chief Executive Officer for UVA Health and said there are 114 in-patients today.“And of those 114 COVID patients, 36 are in our ICU’s and six of them are pediatric patients,” Horton said. Some of those COVID patients are asymptomatic and had gone to the hospital for other reasons. We’re now in the third year of the worldwide pandemic, and the Associated Press reports some countries across the world are opting to shift their public health strategy towards accepting COVID-19 as a continuing condition. More of an endemic rather than a pandemic. Dr. Costi Sifri is the director of hospital epidemiology at UVA Health he cautions against making that conclusion.“Many people have predicted the ending of the pandemic at various interactions through this and we think that we’re all a little bit concerned about doing that prematurely,” Dr. Sifri said. “We don’t know what things may look like after Omicron and if there are other variants that we’ll have to deal with. We may see some of the old variants come back and cause problems.”So far, Dr. Sifri said the omicron variant does not cause as many fatalities per infection. “There are reasons for that that seem to be bearing out based on studies,” Dr. Sifri said. “Things like the fact that it causes upper respiratory tract infections compared to pneumonia and lower respiratory tract infections.” Governor Youngkin’s Executive Order Two declared that mask usage in public schools was optional. One stated reason is that the omicron variant “results in less severe illness.” Dr. Sifri said it’s still a serious issue.“Omicron still really can cause very, very serious illness and we’re still seeing patient deaths and we’re seeing them almost on a daily basis,” Dr. Sifri said. Vaccination continues to be a protection against serious disease. The seven-day average for doses administered per day is at 20,915 today and 68.6 percent of the total Virginia population is fully vaccinated and around 2.3 million have received a third dose or a booster. Horton said it is a misnomer to state that omicron is not a threat. “It does cause quite a bit of disease especially in immunocompromised individuals so far our health systems a lot of strain on the intensive care units and caring for those individuals,” Horton said. Later in the week, Youngkin issued another executive order to declare a limited state of emergency to provide hospitals and health care with “flexibility” in the work against COVID-19. (Executive Order 11)“For a health system it really is an acknowledgment of where we’re at and really garners additional resources,” Horton said. “I was really so pleased to see an emphasis on making sure that people have access to vaccination. So that is really very, very important.” Horton said this allows hospitals the ability to increase bed capacity and increase staffing. “We are very fortunate here at UVA that we haven’t had to activate those special accommodations, but it is really great that we know that we have them if we ever need to activate or use any special resources available,” Horton said. Regional group briefed on “missing middle” housingChanges to land use rules are being made across the region to allow for additional density to create what planners and developers refer to as “missing middle” housing. The term was coined by Dan Parolek in 2010. “His focus is on small units and making them feasible to build in neighborhoods where only large single-family houses currently exist,” said Emily Hamilton is a senior research fellow and director of the Urbanity Project at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University.Hamilton was one of the speakers at the latest discussion run by the Central Virginia Regional Housing Partnership on Thursday. She said additional flexibility to allow more housing can lead to units becoming more affordable. (watch the video)“In some of the cases where we see lots of small in-fill construction happening there is that increased flexibility where for example large duplex units or townhouses can be built in places where exclusively detached single family houses would have been permitted previously,” Hamilton said.The recent adoption of the Crozet Master Plan as well as the Future Land Use Map in the Charlottesville Comprehensive Plan are both intended to encourage the production of these units and developers have responded. Many community members have pushed back, as seen this week in Scottsville when community opposition may have led to a deferral of two special use permits.However, Hamilton said this is how houses in communities used to be built.“Historically in an era before zoning we saw that what we would now call missing middle was often times the bread and butter housing of working and middle income Americans because it has lower per-foot construction costs compared to a large multi-family building,” Hamilton said. The topic comes up a lot in the community. Here are two examples I’ve not yet had the chance to review completely: The Places29-North Community Advisory Committee was introduced to the new Middle Density Residential category at its meeting on January 13. (watch the video)The Crozet Community Advisory Committee discussed a planned residential community within that designated growth area on January 12.

There’s a lot of these, but here are some of note. For starters, a bill from Senator Creigh Deeds that would allow Charlottesville to levy a one-cent sales tax increase for capital education costs has been reported out of the Senate Finance and Appropriations Committee on a 14-2 vote. Senators Steve Newman and Emmet Hanger voted against the measure. (SB298) Today, the bill was read for the second time by the full Senate. Delegate Sally Hudson has similar legislation in the House of Delegates. It is currently within a subcommittee of the House Finance Committee (HB545)If signed into law, voters would have to approve the measure in a referendum. The funding would be earmarked for the school reconfiguration project. Here’s the status on more legislation. A bill (HB28) from Delegate Ronnie Campbell (R-2) to increase the length of the Maury River’s Scenic River status by 23.2 miles was approved by the Agriculture, Chesapeake, and Natural Resources Committee on a 19-2 vote. One of the two to vote against it was Delegate Chris Runion (R-25). The full House had first reading today. A bill (HB828) from Delegate Tony Wilt (R-26) to expand eligibility in the Dairy Producer Margin Coverage Premium Assistance Program was reported out of the same committee on a unanimous vote. Learn more about the program here. The full House had first reading today. Delegate John McGuire (R-56) has a bill (HB358) would direct the Virginia Secretary of Veterans and Defense Affairs and the Secretary of Commerce and Trade to examine the feasibility of waiving fees for small businesses owned by veterans.

The House Education committee reported that out unanimously. The full House had first reading today. Another bill (HB9) carried by Delegate Lee Ware (R-65) would allow school boards to extend probationary period for teachers and would appear to make it easier for school boards to dismiss teachers by reducing the period of notice of a dismissal hearing from ten days to five days. That was also reported out of the House Education Committee unanimously. The full House had first reading today. A tax credit program for “major business facilities” is currently slated to sunset this July 1, but a bill from Delegate Kathy Byron (R-22) would extend that to July 1, 2025 (HB269). The House Finance Committee reported that out on a 20-1 vote. Delegate Nick Frietas was the lone vote against this action.  The full House had first reading today. The Attorney General would be required to report every year the number of fraudulent Medicaid claims on a public website if HB232 from Delegate Bobby Orrock (R-54) becomes law. The House Health, Welfare, and Institutions unanimously reported this out unanimously. The full House had first reading today. Over in the Senate, a bill (SB8) from Senator Chap Petersen (D-34) to permit hunting on Sunday reported out of the Agriculture, Conservation, and Natural Resources on a 9 to 4 vote, with two abstentions. Second Here are some other bills of note:A bill from Senator Barbara Favola (D-31) that would allow roof replacement projects at for public buildings to enter into a energy performance-based contract (SB13). The Agriculture, Conservation, and Natural Resources committee reported this out and it has been rereferred to the General Laws and Technology Committee. Another bill from Senator John Edwards (D-21) would remove the ability of the Department of Wildlife Resources to charge a fee for boat ramps that the agency manages but doesn’t own. (SB141) The same committee reported this out, and rereferred it to the Finance and Appropriations Committee. Currently localities with combined stormwater and sewer systems have until 2036 to have replacement systems in place. Under a bill from Richard Stuart (R-28), that would be moved up to 2030. This reported out of the same committee by an 11 to 4 vote, and the bill will go to the Finance and Appropriations Committee. (SB534)A bill has passed the full Senate that would add the City of Chesapeake to a list of localities that require an analysis of drinking water. Albemarle County already has this ability. (SB53)Localities would be allowed to require broadband be installed as part of a residential development if a bill from Senator Jennifer Boysko (D-33) is approved. The Senate Commerce and Labor reported that out and it now goes before the Local Government committee. (SB446)Boysko has another bill to be known as Adam’s Law to require private and public higher education facilities to develop anti-hazing policies (SB439). This was reported unanimously from the Education and Health Committee but with one abstention. Legislation is also pending to require the Department of Education to develop guidelines on policies to inform student athletes and their coaches about the dangers of heat-related illness. SB161 was reported out of the Senate Education Committee and is now before the Finance and Appropriations Committee. The Virginia Arts Foundation would be eliminated and its powers transferred to the Virginia Commission of the Arts under one bill (SB597) from Senator Todd Pillion (R-40).

Good Morning, Colorado, you’re listening to the Daily Sun-Up. It’s Tuesday April 27th, and even though there’s a lot of turmoil right now we’re feeling lucky to start the day with you.   Today - Gross Reservoir continues to be the subject of court rulings. So, what’s the latest on the fight over expanding?   But before we begin, let’s go back in time with some Colorado history adapted from historian Derek R Everett’s book “Colorado Day by Day”:   Today, we take you back to April 27th, 1917 when an explosion in the Hastings Mine killed 121 miners. It earned the site the dubious distinction of Colorado’s worst industrial disaster. An investigation later determined that an illegal use of matches to light a lamp had caused the blast. Work in the mine resumed later that year, but it closed for good in 1923.   Now, our feature story.   Owned by Denver Water but located in Boulder County, Gross Reservoir supplies water from both sides of the Continental Divide to Front Range residents. But the reservoir has been anything but smooth sailing and continues to be the subject of court rulings. Reporter Michael Booth talks with Lucy Haggard about the latest update on the fight over expanding the reservoir.   To read more about Gross Reservoir, go to coloradosun.com.   And Before we go, here are a few stories that you should know about today:   U.S. Census Bureau data released Monday confirmed that Colorado will receive an eighth congressional seat. The state’s population increased almost 15% in 2020, roughly double that of the national increase. An independent commission is tasked with redrawing the state’s districts, but the detailed data necessary for that task likely won’t be available until September. Multiple groups across the state are asking that communities with similar interests, such as agriculture, get grouped together in the newly redrawn map. https://coloradosun.com/2021/04/26/colorado-8th-congressional-seat/    A long-awaited bill in the statehouse to decrease health care costs will no longer include a public insurance option. House Bill 1232 will instead require private insurers to offer a highly regulated, standardized plan. Providers won’t be required to accept the plans under certain conditions, including if their provider network reflects the diversity of consumers. The bill’s changes will happen through an amendment, which will be considered in the House Health and Insurance Committee on Tuesday. https://coloradosun.com/2021/04/26/colorado-public-option-health-care-bill-update/    A majority of Coloradans feel the state has an affordable housing problem, and they want the government to fix it. A new poll from Magellan Strategies reflects the frustrations of a hyper housing market for renters and owners alike, especially along the Front Range. Researchers found the coronavirus pandemic has also had a significant impact on changing public opinion. Support for affordable housing policy differed along political party lines, with the most support among Democrats, then independents, and the least support among Republicans.   For more information on all of these stories, visit our website, www.coloradosun.com.

This week HB 21-1232, the Colorado Public Option, is in front of the House Health and Insurance Committee.  Today we discuss the policy with Katherine Mulready, the Senior Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer for the Colorado Hospital Association, and Chris Brown, the Vice President of Policy and Research at the Common Sense Institute. Join us as we unpack this complex and dangerous policy proposal. 

Health care and education are the two biggest drivers of the budget in the state, and neither is without their share of policy proposals. This week, Layne McInelly, president of the Idaho Education Association, shares his take on the public education budget and a proposal to let school districts and public charters create their own teaching certificates to address teacher shortages. Then, House Health and Welfare Committee Chairman Fred Wood and Sen. Melissa Wintrow join me to discuss Medicaid and the state’s response to the COVID-19 crisis.

On the Midweek Edition of the MRAK podcast, Scott Levesque and special guest Spencer Moore discuss Governor Dunleavy's vaccination expansion and Sen. Reinbold's removal from the House Health and Social Services Committee meeting. Additionally, they examine the fundraising efforts of the candidates for mayor of Anchorage. All that and more!

Lobbying Series Part 4 – Lobbying Exceptions  On this episode, our fourth in our on-going lobbying series, we’ll focus on lobbying exceptions for all 501(c)(3)s, even private foundations.    Attorney Co-hosts  Leslie Barnes  Tim Mooney  Shyaam Subramanian   The Basics   Reminder to check out the last two episodes on direct and grassroots lobbying for the definitions under 501(h).  We’ve spent a lot of time talking about the importance of lobbying as a matter of good policy. You know who else agrees? Congress and the IRS!  The law and regulations set up several lobbying exceptions – specific activity that is so important for policymaking that even though it would count as lobbying under the definitions, Congress and the IRS specifically exclude it from the tally.  Even better – remember when we mentioned private foundations are heavily taxed if they engage in lobbying? These exceptions are available to them as well!  Are you an organization that uses the insubstantial part test to measure lobbying? You may use some of these exceptions, but there are differences. Give us a call!    The Exceptions  Nonpartisan Analysis, Study, or Research (“The 50 Page Report Exception”)  An exception to grassroots and direct lobbying  Probably the most important exception – many charities do a ton of advocacy work, and may report no lobbying because they use this.  Full and fair discussion  Distributed widely  May contain a view on legislation  May also contain an indirect call to action (and only an indirect one!)  Typically, this is a written report, but the regulations don’t mandate that. Could be a podcast or a YouTube video, so long as the two prongs are met.  The synergy effect: non-lobbying report aids parallel lobbying efforts.  Watch out for subsequent use!  Don’t use this exception, then slap a cover letter on the report and include a direct call to action. This negates the whole exception for the report and then it all counts as grassroots lobbying.  That’s a rebuttable presumption, so there are some ways to back out of it, but it’s very narrow.   Examinations of Broad Social, Economic, or Similar Problems (“The Less Helpful Than It Seems Exception”)  You discuss broad social, economic, or similar problems but do not express a view on specific legislation.  Example: You about the problems uninsured people have accessing healthcare, without discussing legislation to fund a national healthcare program that provides health insurance for all Americans. Could think of it as, “we’re talking about the problems, not the solutions.”  You might think – wait, if we’re not talking about legislation, how is this an exception? And we agree. But I think it is useful in the sense that you know you can comfortably talk about problems if you don’t talk about specific legislative solutions. You could even talk about administrative solutions! For example, President Biden should block the Keystone XL pipeline through an Executive Order. Not legislative! Or “Corporations should prioritize climate and energy efficiency goals, not just profit.” Not even about policy but could be impactful.  Technical Advice or Assistance (“The Permission Slip”)  Providing testimony to legislative committees will often count as lobbying. But Congress wanted to ensure they had access to experts on subject matter relating to legislation. So, they included the Technical Advice or Technical Assistance exception as one of the activities that will not as lobbying for public charities or private foundations.     So when you hear us say “Nonprofits are trusted messengers” this is part of what we mean. Congress wants to hear from you!!    The elements or requirements of this exception are: Written request from a governmental body (e.g., legislative committee or subcommittee);  Response is available to every member of the body;  Response is limited to details of request; and  Response can include opinions or recommendations if requested.  What it’s not:  Responding to a request from one or two legislators or a caucus of House Democratic lawmakers for input on a bill draft.  Responding to a general public notice for an upcoming city council meeting for which members of the public are invited to testify.   One example of how it could be used:  The Chair of the House Health and Public Policy Committee sends an email to your organization asking the Executive Director to testify next week on the specific portions of a bill dealing with parental notification of minors prior to medical procedures.  Your staff could spend time compiling data needed for the ED’s testimony as well as preparing a large visual display and preparing a section by section analysis of the parts of the bills the Chair’s inquiry pertained to and copies for each committee member. The staff and ED’s times spent preparing to testify as well as the time and resources spent to testify would NOT count as a lobbying expenditure.    Self-Defense (“The Not as Available as it May Seem at First Exception”)  An exception to direct lobbying  communications with legislators regarding possible actions of that body which could affect the organization’s existence, powers, duties, tax-exempt status, or the deductibility of contributions to the organization.  So long as the subject matter of the communication is limited to these specific areas, an organization may communicate with legislative bodies, their staff or even their individual members, and may also make expenditures to initiate legislation dealing with these specific topics.  What it’s not: hey, we’re a neighborhood group opposing development of the farm next door into a cement plant because it will effectively destroy our neighborhood. Important advocacy, but not impacting the existence or powers of the organization.  What it’s not part 2: A bill pending in Congress would raise the bulk mailing postage rates for nonprofits. Important to lobby perhaps, but just impacts your costs not your power.  What it could be: any attempts by Congress to limit (for example) civil rights organizations or environmental groups from qualifying as charities. Or limiting tax deductibility of donations to groups that lobby (sidebar: you can’t earmark donations for lobbying and get a deduction).  This exception can be used prospectively as well as defensively. So a bill to temporarily increase deductibility of donations through the end of COVID would qualify.  Jointly Funded Project Exception  If private foundations communicate with legislators about legislation impacting programs they jointly fund with government, it’s not lobbying under IRS rules. To use this exception, private foundations must not discuss specific legislative issues unrelated to the jointly funded program.  Example: Regional Census Fund.  The Seattle Foundation contributed money to this effort and administered the fund. The City of Seattle and King County each invested resources in the effort. The fund supported community-based organizations to conduct Census outreach in hard-to-count communities. They reached out to residents in historically underrepresented communities, including communities of color, immigrants and refugees, native people, LGBTQ residents and others. Note: Seattle Foundation is a public charity.   This exception also applies to PROSPECTIVE jointly funded projects! So, if the private foundation is considering jointly funding a project with the govt. they could engage in conversations w lawmakers under this exceptions.  Also, if a private foundation makes a grant to an organization on the condition that the organization receive matching support from a governmental body, that fact does not make the grant a lobbying expenditure.    How are these reported?   They aren’t - track these as you would any other non-lobbying activity.  Junk drawer of final thoughts  Reminder: private foundations can use these exceptions.  These aren’t lobbying, so often you can use restricted funds on these.   Prep work for these activities also does not count as lobbying.  We’re not sure if the advocacy we want to do is in an exception or not.

Jake Zuckerman of Ohio Capital Journal talks about Scott Lipps being renamed as head of the Ohio House Health Committee, "despite pushing legislation to weaken Ohio's vaccine laws; called in to video conferences hosted by anti-vaccine groups; made public statements about the need to slow or stop the COVID-19 vaccine rollout; and alleged a lack of “proper studies” about the COVID-19 vaccines," according to their reporting.

In a House Health and Human Services Committee meeting late Monday, the “heartbeat bill” advanced through the committee and the trigger bill was tabled by the committee. We will update listeners on the progress of these bills next week. Subscribe on Apple Podcasts Music Credit: Music by Joakim Karud http://youtube.com/joakimkarud
