DeSantis signs a blockbuster Covid law; $5M bucks if Newsom can prove he wasn't vax-injured; the UK's spike in cardiac deaths; Fla. sues Biden over the CMS Mandate; & the Narrative dies, suddenly.
Additionally, as avid car collectors, my husband and, I along with another couple, were planning a trip to the Pebble Beach 2022 Concours…after some conversation about hating to miss it, but hating MORE the idea of putting ANY of our hard earned money into California, we made an abrupt planning U-turn and booked a trip to the 2022 Amelia Island Comcours instead. The four of us will be pouring several thousand bucks into a state that wants us and deserves it… THIS is just one example of peaceful protest. We are telling this story to everyone that will listen. We all need to act out. And tell it so others understand the impact of stupid policies.
Readers, please share constructive examples of how you are acting out. The rest of us can use the suggestions!
On another "activist" note - I just sent an email to my two online subscription services (dog food and a bone broth company) asking if they require the COVID vaccine for their employees. I told them if they do, I will no longer be buying their products.
"Or, is the CDC even tracking excess deaths any more?"
They are and I've been worried about this for several weeks. UsMortality.com has a nice UI built on top of the CDC data. Go there and look at the mortality trends for 25-44 and 45-64 year olds.
It's awful. I mean, I'm talking 5000k more *per week* in the 45-64 group. That's 60%+ more death. And, it's been increasing by about 500/week since summer (don't be fooled by the recent down-trend -- the last 6-8 weeks are incomplete).
This is the biggest story in the country right now and it's being ignored.
It's been awhile since I last looked at graphs. These are alarming. I thought a freelancer was looking at correlates (County, vax status, demographics etc) but am blanking if that was actually the case.
Accidents in the vaccinated (eg, stroke/heart attack while driving).
Delayed diagnosis and treatment of various non-covid conditions, either because unvaxxed ("crisis standard of care") or fear of going to hospital. There is a lot of bacterial pneumonia being ignored ("go home, come back when you can't breathe") until the infection is very well entrenched. Plus trying to use telehealth as a replacement for good care.
I cringe at the thought of giving my hard earned money to any political party. However, I will donate my $12 to DeSantis. BUT, I will not give it to the Republican Party. I will donate directly to DeSantis campaign, and ONLY DIRECTLY there. I would advise everyone to do the same. Republicans are just as shameful. I will support only America First people who actively defend the Constitution with actions like DeSantis has done. The time for flapping their gums on pointless lying dribble is over. We are awake now.
Agreed. Must grin and beat it. I gave Mitt Romney 500 dollars for his run for presidency. I can still feel the disappointment In denying myself the 500 bucks to give to a RINO like Mitt. Can I sue to get my 500 back? He is a lying liar.
I hate everything he stands for. Should have known anyone from a investment firm Bain Capitol would no good. Only driven by his own greed and self adoration. He had the opportunity to kill Obama in that debate regarding Benghazi and the instantaneous protest narrative and he choked. Mitt did that on purpose.
Ugh. I wished I had known that. Thanks for the info. I 100% support DeSantis. So it made me sick knowing he didn’t get 100% or MY money. But it did feel good to support him and tell him Good Job!
Don't split hairs over $12. Just send it. The idea is to get politicians' attention with a burst of donations directly traceable to this movement, even if a few pennies are spent "imperfectly". So the $ should all go to the same place, on the same day.
This is not a happy time. We're all going to get some soil on our white robes. Let's make an impact for Jeff. Concentrated bursts of money traceable to C&C people.
I did double my donation, nearly (it had to end with a 2).
Perfect example of why conservatives have been ineffective as a force for change. We get offended at all the dirty work and ugly politicians and fracture into a million grouchy yet ineffectual fragments.
Remember that some of that 4% goes to some real R's and not just to milquetoast rinos.
Remember also that you don't go to war (figuratively speaking, of course!) with the army (just a metaphor!!) you wish you had, but rather with the army that you actually have.
This is not the time to be maximizin' the mileage in the Prius. Let's rev the throttle on the Harley and roar into town.
First time I have ever donated to a politician. I live in New Mexico. Thank you governor DeSantis from those of us stuck in these democratic run states....Grisham is a tyrant. You give us hope the tide will change.
She is up for reelection in 22- there are several (like 6 republicans) here throwing their hats in the ring. It won't end well for red- the north part of the state is heavily blue, plus add in election fraud. 🤷♀️
Oh, I see. Yes one in the same. We are so rural and the most rural parts of this beautiful state are conservatives, but the north is so heavily populated we can't compete.
Mr. Childers – the work you and team do is genuinely appreciated and well received; thank you!! I donated and am self-shamed for not doing so before today.
Your words today are powerful! It is beyond important, but with urgency to support the first of what I hope are the other Governors to get up off their talking bottoms for Liberty’s last stand.
Mr. DeSantis gets it….. this is not de minimis price or sacrifice – his demonstrable conviction and strength is an equivalent stand I too would gladly take at the Alamo, I too would take crossing the Delaware…. I’m metaphorically standing on the same hill and hopeful others who are not, will soon stand too.
Thank you again for you and teams work in this space.
Done 💵 even though I’m not fond of winred or Ronna Daniels. I love Ron DeSantis, presser yesterday was excellent and I’m so onboard for him as President.
Done I gave 12 and then 32 as recurring then sent text messages to everyone I know and asked them for only 12 as well. I think I got five more to give 12 and then I went to signal group chat set up for trump and asked them to donate 12 there about 50 in that chat so never know DeSantis could win big with the 12. Can I send messages on LinkedIn to ask those contacts for 12? Probably not will get kicked off. 😂
I never thought the day would come that I would donate to the campaign of a Republican in another state. The impossible is now possible in 2021. So thankful I am coming to my senses. That’s in no small part due to C and C. 🔥❤️
Apology if this ends up a duplicate; wrote a comment and hit submit but have not seen it here, will do it again. Anyway, suggest we encourage others across the nation to use the "2" to support candidates at all levels, in any state, who are actively, and visibly, demonstrating that they Stand Up for the constitution of the U.S.A. and the inalienable individual rights thereof. I am in Ohio, and after reading today's letter and comments, I am sending a check via the mail (thank you Russ). to support Gov DeSantis in the amount of $12.22. And then, I'm going to look up Dr. Garrett Soldano in Michigan. And if he is 'that guy', (trusting, but verifying), will send a $12.22 check to his campaign, also. So. No matter which account I use, which candidate I want to support, or how much I send, I'm gonna make an amount that ends in "2". Whether it's $2.00, $12.00 etc, suggesting we use this as a way to make some noise and create some strength in numbers, please.
Just donated from Michigan. When you come to help the other states, please consider Michigan. We have a grassroots effort to get Dr. Garrett Soldano elected the next governor. He is running on the GOP ticket but it is grassroots as the MiGOP is backing former Detroit police chief, Daniel Craig, a democrat in a former reincarnation, suddenly a Republican. Dr. Soldano has been in the Covid fight since April of 2020 when he formed a FB page, Michiganders Against Excessive Quarantine which gathered over 400,000 followers in a week’s time. FB shut it down, and it was reincarnated again and again. Stand Up Michigan was formed from that original group. SUM is fighting the mandates, lockdowns and Covid fears on several fronts. Dr Soldano has disengaged himself from the group to run a campaign on his own, but he is still supported by SUM. Stand Up Michigan was responsible for gathering over 540,000 signatures on a petition drive to abolish a 1945 Michigan law, our tyrant governor was using to extend lockdowns and over 170 EO’s issued in a 6 mo. period. We have a tepid and good old boy GOP led House and Senate who put up bi partisan legislation that the governor immediately vetoes. The only legislation passed is one with monies she wants. She line items those into ways she wants to spend. So, please consider Michigan as a place to help out.
This is actually sort of fun! First time I have ever in my life donated to a politician. But $12 well spent I believe! Thank you Jeff, I look forward to reading your articles every morning. 😎
I have to say your substack is my first reading every day. The calls to action is just the creme on top. Happy to be involved in the C&C movement. Donated. Thank you!
Just made my Project Multiplier donation!

FLORIDA FREEDOM HERE WE COME! 🥳
Amelia Island is our home-away-from-home. You'll love it
🤗we can’t WAIT!
You inspired me to plan the Everglades NP trip I have long wanted to take. Damn straight: let’s put our $ into FL’s economy.
On another "activist" note - I just sent an email to my two online subscription services (dog food and a bone broth company) asking if they require the COVID vaccine for their employees. I told them if they do, I will no longer be buying their products.
I love it
Cancel culture with a "bite"
WELL PLAYED. I think I'll do the same!
"Or, is the CDC even tracking excess deaths any more?"

This is the biggest story in the country right now and it's being ignored.
Sent my $12 from Washington State :-)
Wow, it's well above the "normal range"
Yes, and I doubt it's covid, unless something really changed about how the disease impacts various age cohorts.
It's almost as if some novel, exogenous, forcing event took place over the spring/summer/fall of 2021...
Almost but it can't be "that which cannot be named". It's NEVER that.
/sarc
This is the story. Wow. And hello from another Washingtonian that just donated $12. My first political donation ever.
It's been awhile since I last looked at graphs. These are alarming. I thought a freelancer was looking at correlates (County, vax status, demographics etc) but am blanking if that was actually the case.
Also:
Accidents in the vaccinated (eg, stroke/heart attack while driving).

There is a lot of bacterial pneumonia being ignored ("go home, come back when you can't breathe") until the infection is very well entrenched.

Suicides and drug overdoses.

I will support only America First people who actively defend the Constitution with actions like DeSantis has done. The time for flapping their gums on pointless lying dribble is over. We are awake now.
I get it. Donating to political parties is not so rewarding anymore. To me, the $12 gimmick is more of a "microphone" than a political contribution.
Sending a check from Texas.
I wonder if part of the point is to show our state R party the power that we the people have?
Agreed. Must grin and beat it. I gave Mitt Romney 500 dollars for his run for presidency. I can still feel the disappointment In denying myself the 500 bucks to give to a RINO like Mitt. Can I sue to get my 500 back? He is a lying liar.
I hate everything he stands for. Should have known anyone from a investment firm Bain Capitol would no good. Only driven by his own greed and self adoration. He had the opportunity to kill Obama in that debate regarding Benghazi and the instantaneous protest narrative and he choked. Mitt did that on purpose.
I feel you but I think DeSantis as part of party has to give a % to R. I don’t think way around it just have to grin and bare it.
Umm, ok. Do not like that. I don’t want one penny going to the corrupt rnc. Hmm. I’ll do some digging. Thanks for the heads up
I did that nothing to be done want to help DeSantis just give the 12 it’s a minor amount to RNC but a big impact to Jeff and his initiatives. :)
Ok. Thanks. I donated!
Ron DeSantis for Governor, 301 W. Platt St #345, Tampa, FL 33606.
Ugh. I wished I had known that. Thanks for the info. I 100% support DeSantis. So it made me sick knowing he didn’t get 100% or MY money. But it did feel good to support him and tell him Good Job!
Love it!!
What’s bill pay??

*I know this is to re-elect him as governor.
I do too. I PRAY Trump will bow out!!

👏👏👏
Non-Florida resident here. I happily gave to DeSantis. Thanks for the information you provide daily.
Yes, feel good being a part of this from Ohio. Thanks for the update.

Wondering why we don’t give in increments of $17.76? That would send a message LOL!
Love that!! Yes!!!
What address to send a check?

Kimberly - I think it's fun too! I love how Jeff organizes us. He is making SUCH a huge difference!
I have to say your substack is my first reading every day. The calls to action is just the creme on top. Happy to be involved in the C&C movement. Donated. Thank you!
I should have added - donation made by me a Washingtonian! Come save Washington! ;-) And maybe Oregon while you're at it.
