We DON'T want Mandates, we want simple freedom of choice and control over our own bodies.
 

We can all choose to believe whether the vaccine is in our personal best interest to receive, or not to receive. That is the American way, the way it should be. It's that simple. But to FORCE mandates upon people, to force them to take a man-made pharmaceutical that carries with it a certain number of RISKS or threaten their livelihood over it, is unethical and un-American at the very least, and criminal at best. To mandate is to remove a human being's freedom over their own bodies, their own bodily autonomy, and is meant to disenfranchise constituents who have the basic right to pursue happiness in anyway they see fit. To mandate is in essence, removing their will, and stomping on their dignity to make their own choices. I want the dignity to practice my bona fide religious belief to pursue life, liberty and happiness in any way I see fit. I have a right to keep my job I work hard at and is the way I earn a living, despite my religion, my sex, my orientation, my disability. This, my health, is no different. That's like saying, all ugly people have to have plastic surgery to make themselves "beautiful" if they want to keep their job.

Don't remove religious exemptions. Don't Mandate vaccines. I whole-heartedly oppose this bill.
