The Summit is only a few short weeks away. I had the wonderful opportunity to join Feds For Freedom on September 13th as they celebrated their hard fought victory in stopping the federal mandate regarding the Covid-19 injections.
This may seem so long ago, but it was the work of these courageous men and women led by Marcus Thornton and Jim Erdman who stood on the foundation of our Constitution to protect not only themselves, their families and the thousands within the federal government and military that said “NO” to an illegal and un-Constitutional directive. Their courage gave countless others the courage to stand and say, “NO.” People risked their lives, careers, families. But they placed their faith in God, just as our founding fathers did. This nation was built on a solid Christian Foundation. A belief in God and through divine providence this nation was formed.
This nation is truly at a Turning Point and as we mourn the loss of Charlie Kirk, we are each called to be a beacon of hope by bringing light to the darkness. I am grateful for Charlie and the mission he began. I am grateful for Marcus and Jim and the work they have accomplished at Feds For Freedom and the knowledge that their work has just begun. The Virginia Medical Freedom Alliance is honored to work with this organization and all of our sponsors as we bring together the medical, military and federal employees to educate and empower the Commonwealth of Virginia and our neighbors to the dangers we are facing as a nation.
Join us on October 10 and 11 as we gain deeper understanding of our Constitution, our Rights and the dangers of government overreach. Let the dialogue begin.

Just so you know there's a bill in the Virginia state legislature to stop Corporate Healthcare, Sentara and Riverside, from denying Healthcare to sick and suffering Physicians by denying them Specialist Referrals in the middle of a Physician Shortage. When a sick person has to has a delay in obtaining Healthcare it can kill them. This is murder, unethical, and immoral. Dr Kenneth Qiu, 703-321-6386, in Richmond is coordinating passage of this bill. We are writing letters in support of this bill. An article from you in support of the bill's passage could literally save lives.
