WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeSiteNews) — Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC) took to the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives last week and boldly admonished Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), declaring, “Madam Speaker, you are not God!”
Cawthorn, who is confined to a wheelchair, chided the elderly House leader for the reinstitution of a mask mandate within the House side of the U.S. Capitol building which calls for the arrest of staff or visitors who fail to wear a mask.
“Madam Speaker, you are not God!” thundered the young, newly minted North Carolina congressman, pointing toward the rostrum from which the Speaker presides.
People of goodwill can disagree about the safety, efficacy and religious implications of a new vaccine for the coronavirus.
But, everyone should agree on this point:
No government can force anyone who has reached legal adulthood to be vaccinated for the coronavirus. Equally, no government can vaccinate minors for the coronavirus against the will of their parents or guardians.
Please SIGN this urgent petition which urges policymakers at every level of government to reject calls for mandatory coronavirus vaccination.
Fear of a disease - which we know very little about, relative to other similar diseases - must not lead to knee-jerk reactions regarding public health, nor can it justify supporting the hidden agenda of governmental as well as non-governmental bodies that have apparent conflicts of interest in plans to restrict personal freedoms.
The so-called "public health experts" have gotten it wrong many times during the current crisis. We should not, therefore, allow their opinions to rush decision-makers into policies regarding vaccination.
And, while some people, like Bill Gates, may have a lot of money, his opinion and that of his NGO (the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation) - namely, that life will not return to normal till people are widely vaccinated - should not be permitted to influence policy decisions on a coronavirus vaccination program.
Finally, we must also not allow the rush by pharmaceutical companies to produce a new coronavirus vaccine to, itself, become an imperative for vaccination.
Unwitting citizens must not be used as guinea pigs for New World Order ideologues, or Big Pharma, in pursuit of a vaccine (and, profits) which may not even protect against future mutated strains of the coronavirus.
And it goes without saying that the production of vaccines using aborted babies for cell replication is a total non-starter, as the technique is gravely immoral.
However, if after sufficient study of the issue, a person who has reached the age of majority wishes to be vaccinated with a morally produced vaccine, along with his children, that is his business.
But we cannot and will not permit the government to make that decision for us.
Thank you for SIGNING and SHARING this petition, urging policymakers at all levels of government to reject mandatory coronavirus vaccination.

** While LifeSite opposes immorally-produced vaccines using aborted fetal cell lines, we do not have a position on any particular coronavirus vaccines produced without such moral problems. We realize many have general concerns about vaccines, but also recognize that millions of lives have been saved due to vaccines.

He continued:
Your will does not bend the forests or shake the mountains.
And let me assure you your will does not bow the knee of millions of my countrymen who refuse to heed your callous command.
To threaten arrest of others for their own personal medical decisions is nothing short of medical apartheid, and I will not let it stand.
For if I am to cowardly bend the knee here like those on the left wish, then what is to stop you all from taking your tyranny to the rest of this country that I love?
How dare anyone in this institution attempt to dictate to the patriots of my staff how they may live their lives.
For one to think that because they have the title, “Honorable” attached to their name means they may dictate what others may say and think repulses me.
What makes this nation special is that in this free land the people are the royalty.
So arrest us if you will, but I will not cower and I will not bend.
Madam Speaker you have come to take away our liberties, but Madam Speaker, in this country you are outnumbered.
Capitol Police Chief Thomas Manger had earlier issued a written order announcing, “If a visitor or staff member fails to wear a mask after a request is made to do so, the visitor or staff shall be denied entry to the House Office Buildings or House-side of the U.S. Capitol. Any person who fails to either comply or leave the premises after being asked to do so would be subject to an arrest for Unlawful Entry.”
