1. Please Support Massachusetts Bill S1122, ‘An Act relative to bodily autonomy and family integrity
Download >
Dear Senator or Representative XXXXX
As a your constituent, I am writing to you to please support Massachusetts Bill S1122, ‘An Act relative to bodily autonomy and family integrity.’ This bill ensures that no-one can force me to share my personal or medical information nor be threatened to undergo any form of specimen test, medical treatment, intervention, or procedure, including vaccination.
During these tumultuous times, it is especially critical to ensure that MA civil rights to medical privacy and human rights to personal liberty and decision-making, afforded in both our state and federal constitutions, are upheld and protected. This bill goes a long way to clarifying the government’s role in upholding these rights. Further it prevents my being coerced or confronted for simply asserting my inalienable and fundamental right to make decisions for my own body or the bodies of my dependents.
I sincerely encourage you to support Massachusetts Bill S 1122. Thank you for your consideration.

Dear Senator or Representative XXXXX
I encourage you to please support Massachusetts Bill S1122, ‘An Act relative to bodily autonomy and family integrity’. This bill ensures that my and my family’s fundamental rights to privacy, travel, and speech, afforded under the United States and MA State Constitutions, are protected.
Through the federal Bill of Right’s First Amendment, US citizens have always been ensured the rights to speak, assemble, and move freely through society without any form of governmental prohibition or invasion of privacy.(1) Governmental protection of these rights, for the people, are the very cornerstones that distinguish our society as enlightened and democratic.
Bill S1122 articulates these rights, affirming all MA citizens are due their automatic protection.
I sincerely urge you to support Massachusetts Bill S 1122 and appreciate your consideration to uphold these liberties upon which our country was founded.

3. Bill S1122 protects my right and my fellow-citizens’ right to pursue all possible choices of healthcare to enhance our health
Download >
Dear Senator or Representative XXXXX
I write to you today as your constituent to ask you to please support Massachusetts Senate Bill S 1122, ‘An Act relative to bodily autonomy and family integrity.’ Bill S1122 protects MA individuals, families and their dependents to make their own decisions about all forms of healthcare, be they complementary and alternative or allopathic services.
Allopathic medical care comprises the traditional arm of the US healthcare system for over the last century, but alternative and complementary therapeutics such as nutritional therapy, homeopathy, herbal therapy etc. have reemerged as significant healing protocols within the last several decades of healthcare because of their millennia-long histories of safety and efficacy.
There are times when allopathic methods are the appropriate response to bring about healing, but with the rise of antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria, opioid addiction, adverse side-effects from medicines/biologics, and a one-size-fits-all standard-of-care medical model, growing numbers of people such as myself opt to approach health firstly with natural, more gentle approaches. Back in 2007, approximately 40% of US adults from ages 18 – 70 adults utilized at least one, if not more, alternative/ holistic protocols. (1) Due to a wider understanding over the last fourteen years of organic nutrition, vitamin supplementation, and other alternative modalities, the numbers of people aware and joining the ranks have increased.
The United States US Declaration of Independence guarantees all citizens ‘life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness’ as inalienable rights. These inalienable rights include the liberty to pursue the highest degree of life and happiness possible through personal, bio-individual healthcare choices including millennia-long alternative and complementary approaches.
Bill S1122 protects my right and my fellow-citizens’ right to pursue all possible choices of healthcare to enhance our health, vibrancy, and happiness. I encourage you to support this enlightened bill which honors and protects the widely varied health needs, growing market, and preferences of all our states’ citizens. Thank you.

4. Please protect our health choices and constitutional rights, Support Bill S1122
Download >
Dear Senator or Representative XXXXX
I am writing to you today as your constituent to please support Massachusetts Bill S1122, ‘An Act relative to bodily autonomy and family integrity.’ This enlightened bill protects ‘choice’ in health or medical care decisions across all sectors of life including education, employment, travel, and lifestyle preferences, and it protects myself and others from any form of discrimination or retaliatory action for the health choices we do make.
During these unnatural and extraordinary times, I am concerned at the growing number of encroachments and overreach occurring in terms of students’ being able to attend school or college, employees’ retaining their jobs, citizens’ freely moving about in society, or people gathering at houses of worship, stadium games, or concerts. These inalienable liberties have always existed throughout the history of America without any requirement attached to them of proven medical/health status. Suddenly, these enshrined and inalienable freedoms are being threatened with discrimination and dividing society into those who follow certain protocols and those who don’t.
This is inequitable treatment and the antithesis of democratic values. No person should be discriminated against or prevented from participating in society because of their health or medical choices, which are personal and private.
Discrimination and inequity produce two-tiered societies, social unrest, and the rise of extremist ideologies. The purpose of our government is to enhance democratic vibrancy and protect society from devolving into such extremist dysfunctions.
Both our federal and state constitutions’ First Amendment guarantees freedom of speech, which includes freedom of health expression or choice. The Declaration of Independence further affirms that all citizens are guaranteed the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Any attempt to apply discriminatory measures regarding people’s medical/ health decisions to their rights to access education, employment, travel, etc. is unconstitutional at all levels.
Please protect our health choices and constitutional rights by supporting Massachusetts Bill S 1122 which articulates what a democratic society means when liberty is dispensed to/ protected for all people with equity. Thank you for your consideration.

5. Support S1122, Protect my right to bodily autonomy
Download >
Dear Senator or Representative XXXXX
Please support Massachusetts Bill S1122, ‘An Act relative to bodily autonomy and family integrity. This bill is broad in scope. Besides protecting bodily autonomy and family integrity, Bill S1122 provides strong protections for employees against unfair termination based upon medical treatment choice.
Our state and country are going through tumultuous times, and it is becoming increasing clear that pressure is being put on employees to undergo medical protocols such as vaccination, whether or not they want to, in order to retain their jobs. Such coercion by employers on employees is unprecedented and completely refutes the constitutional First Amendment right to free speech.
Up until now, on every job I’ve had, I’ve had the freedom to make my own personal and private health decisions which were protected under HIPPA with no interference from an employer, be it the state or a private business. The attempt by businesses to now force people to declare reveal their medical status and accept protocols which oppose their sincerest beliefs is overreach in the extreme.
Bill S1122 addresses this inequitable treatment by protecting employees from any form of discrimination or retaliatory action because of private health choices. Further, Bill S1122 applies teeth to the law in the form of ‘affirmative relief’ that includes reinstatement of employment, remuneration of back pay with 10% interest, and the ability for further redress to ensure compliance with Bill S1122’s protections, including prosecution of an agency or business to the fullest extent of the law if it continues to apply discriminatory treatment.
Workers have always had the right to calmly work without fear of coercion or confrontation because of their personal health choices. Bill S1122 ensures that any of us will be protected from such discriminatory practices ever happening in Massachusetts.
I sincerely urge you to support Massachusetts Bill S 1122 and thank you for your consideration.

7. Protect Civil Liberties, Support S.1122
Download >
Dear Senator or Representative XXXXX
Please support strong protections for our fundamental liberties, including those articulated in the Bill of Rights. Currently, there is a bill before the Massachusetts legislature, S.1122, that seeks to codify the fundamental human right to bodily autonomy for all persons. Among other things, S.1122 (“An Act relative to bodily autonomy and family integrity”) provides that:
“No person shall be compelled by law to acquiesce to medical treatments or procedures, collection of specimens, or sharing of personal data or medical information.”
“A person’s fundamental rights to privacy, travel, and speech afforded under the United States Constitution shall not be infringed upon to impede the making of decisions for themselves or for their dependents, including, but not limited to, health and medical care, including complementary and alternative healthcare services, education, employment, travel, and lifestyle preferences.”
Additionally, S.1122 protects this fundamental human right to bodily autonomy by outlawing coercive measures by employers. The bill states that: “No employer shall terminate the employment of an employee solely on the basis of the employee’s choice to engage or not engage with medical treatment.”
While the human right to bodily autonomy seems as self-evident to me as the fact that we, as human beings, are created equal—and that among our unalienable rights are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness—there is also a pragmatic reason why liberals and conservatives should both support S.1222: today’s medical orthodoxy is sometimes tomorrow’s harmful, discredited treatment. The history of medicine provides abundant examples. Moreover, as the integrative/functional/holistic approach to medicine has shown, the same medical interventions—just like the same types of food—can have widely different effects on different individuals, and what can help one person can harm another. For these and other pragmatic reasons, we should all demand that our governments at all levels protect our fundamental human right to bodily autonomy.

Dear Senator or Representative XXXXX
I urge you to Sponsor S.1122 An Act relative to bodily autonomy and family integrity.
It is the utmost importance to not lose sight of basic liberties provided to us as human beings.
The ability and freedom to choose what we put into our bodies and not have it affect our freedom to work, travel and do commerce.
It is frightening to think that we even have to introduce a bill for such a thing, but here we are.

Dear Senator or Representative XXXXX
As your constituent, I am writing to ask you to please support Massachusetts Bill S.1122, ‘An Act relative to bodily autonomy and family integrity.’
This bill ensures that no one can force me to share my personal or medical information nor be threatened to undergo any form of specimen test, medical treatment, intervention, or procedure, including vaccination without my consent.
For years, special interest groups and lobbyists with huge budgets have been working to pass laws that do nothing to protect the American people and everything to line their pockets. You can change this!
I encourage you to do the right thing and represent the people by fighting to secure these fundamental health rights granted to every American citizen by the Constitution of the United States. Please show the people of Massachusetts that their lawmakers will stand up to special interests by representing and protecting the people who elected them.
We are living at a crucial time in history where fundamental liberties are being threatened. Please champion Bill S.1122.
