If your representative has NOT cosponsored H. R. 79, you should urge them to do so.
Here's a link to contact your senators to urge them to introduce companion legislation in the senate. It's similar to the link to contact your representative - choose your state, then your senator, then contact (this was slightly different for each of my two senators, but easy to figure out.)
The basis of international law is Comity. We assume our neighbors to have good intentions and when crime crosses our borders we petition our neighbors to solve the problem.
Mexican cattlemen in Sonora and Chihuahua complained to their government in the 1880s about gangsters invading their country from our Arizona Territory. Their Ambassador in Washington approached our Attorney General for help in stopping the crime wave. Wyatt Earp was appointed US Marshal in Arizona after preliminary investigation by the Justice Department revealed the gangsters were operating from the silver mining town of Tombstone...this from complaints by US citizens that gangsters had taken over the town. Marshal Earp quickly identified the problem: The silver miners ate meat and the gangsters stole cattle in Mexico and butchered them in Tombstone to feed the miners. From that power base they expanded their influence, perhaps intending to capture the silver mine itself, in what we nowadays call a "pattern of racketeering activity". The gangsters attempted to kill Marshal Earp to stop his investigation of their crime wave and a gunfight ensued that killed several gangsters. Most of the remaining gangsters fled Tombstone and the cross-border crime wave ended.
When countries share an understanding of right and wrong, it is simple for them to cooperate in maintaining the peace.
Entities like the WHO seek empire instead of comity. Always the danger of empire
is that someone ends up in control, who is careless of the needs of those over whom he takes power. Comity maintains the peace by promoting respect. Empire compels obedience without respect and is not real peace.
How did WHO come to promote a coverup of illegal biological weapons tests? Because we allowed it the power to do that, and it immediately began censoring vital information and interfering with healthcare delivery. Restoring comity in our international public health collaboration is essential to restore the peace, particularly since it has emerged that our government tested a biological weapon in China that caused a pandemic
Nice example with Wyatt. Thank goodness there are righteous men who have stood up to criminal behavior, and who are in positions of power to whip the world back into shape.
May we keep fighting for what is right and fair, and may we stand together stronger than ever!
Of course none in CT!! I will call the ones on your list. Thank you. Email or call your legislators in your states district.
