Officials, they warn, could ban people who choose not to be vaccinated from traveling, shopping or even leaving their homes.
In a petition campaign, Liberty Counsel points out mandatory vaccinations set up a conflict between a government's responsibility to take reasonable actions to protect public health and "a deeply personal decision of faith and/or medical necessity."
"Just as the government has no right to force us to worship as they dictate, neither does the government have the right to force Americans to inject our bodies with unknown, and potentially untested, substances," the organization contends.
Many Americans object to forced vaccinations, but a "voluntary" program could have the same effect, Liberty Counsel says.

In India and China, "tracking and tracing" programs already are being used to control peoples' movements.
"Before being allowed into any building, including offices, grocery stores and even pharmacies, users must display their COVID app status to officials or their deputies monitoring the doors," Liberty Counsel says.

I've a suspicious feeling that the reason Biden picked Harris as a running mate was to provide an ideologically compatible teammate for Bernie. This is why I believe Ocasio-Cortez was asked by the DNC to second the nomination of Bernie Sanders for president – though supposedly she was asked because convention rules dictated that candidates who passed the delegate threshold had to be placed in nomination.
If I'm mistaken, I'll freely admit same; but I honestly don't believe I'll have to say, "I was wrong."

The Democratic nominee told ABC News he would do whatever is necessary to defeat the coronavirus, emphasizing that reviving an economy stricken by recession and returning American life to normal depends upon arresting the pandemic. Despite that context, Republican strategists believe Biden extended a lifeline to Trump, arguing that voters worried about the economy and exhausted by pandemic restrictions will recoil at Biden’s consideration of another shutdown.
Trump is attempting to come from behind against the former vice president, who leads nationally and in key battleground states as the GOP convention begins.

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden already has promised to raise taxes, and on Sunday he offered some details, disclosing that his plan includes a hike for Americans who earn more than $400,000 a year.
Biden told ABC's David Muir that some businesses also will see a tax raise, Fox Business reported.
"I will raise taxes for anybody making over $400,000," Biden said. "Let me tell you why I'm going to do it. It's about time they start paying a fair share of the economic responsibility we have. The very wealthy should pay a fair share — corporations should pay a fair share."
Biden said he wants to target businesses that take in "close to a trillion dollars and pay no tax at all."

Muir, noting the impact of the coronavirus crisis, asked if it was wise to burden businesses with new taxes.
"It's smart to tax businesses that in fact are making excessive amounts of money and paying no taxes," Biden said.
He said that there would be no new taxes for small businesses or individuals who earn $400,000 or less.

As WND reported, Biden told potential donors in June he would end most of President Trump's multitrillion-dollar tax cuts, even though "a lot of you may not like that."
At the virtual event, which raised at least $2 million, Biden vowed to strengthen the middle class and make sweeping investments in clean energy and infrastructure.
"Folks, this is going to be really hard work and Donald Trump has made it much harder to foot the bill," Biden said.
He said that prior to the coronavirus lockdown, Trump's "irresponsible sugar-high tax cuts had already pushed us into a trillion-dollar deficit."
"I'm going to get rid of the bulk of Trump's $2 trillion tax cut," Biden said, "and a lot of you may not like that, but I'm going to close loopholes like capital gains and stepped-up basis."
Biden also vowed to raise the corporate tax rate to 28%. The Trump plan reduced corporate taxes to 21% from 35%.
Similarly, in 1984, a Democratic former vice president running against a tax-cutting Republican incumbent vowed to the American people that, if elected, he would raise their taxes.
It didn't turn out well for Walter Mondale, who won a mere 13 electoral votes while President Ronald Reagan took 525.
"Mr. Reagan will raise taxes, and so will I," Mondale said in his speech accepting the Democratic nomination. "He won't tell you. I just did."

Mark McCloskey added: “Whether it’s the defunding of police, ending cash bail so criminals could be released back out on the streets the same day to riot again, or encouraging anarchy and chaos on our streets, it seems as if the Democrats no longer view the government’s job as protecting honest citizens from criminals, but rather protecting criminals from honest citizens.”
The McCloskeys ended their segment by endorsing Trump for president.

In the aftermath of the June incident, the couple said they were defending their home from protesters who were shouting threats, Fox News reported.
“[They said] that they were going to kill us,” said Patricia McCloskey on Fox News’ “Hannity” in a July interview.
Several protesters can be seen screaming at the McCloskeys while others are heard saying “keep moving,” according to video. “Private property, get out,” a barefoot Mark McCloskey is heard yelling to protesters while holding a rifle in separate footage of the incident.
The protesters were on their way to Democratic Mayor Lyda Krewson’s home to demand her resignation, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Krewson read the names and listed the addresses of protesters who demanded that the city defund its police department, NBC-affiliate WAND-TV reported.
Protests have been occurring in the wake of the death of George Floyd, who died in Minneapolis police custody after an officer knelt on his neck, video of the incident showed.
Police seized the McCloskeys’ firearms in July and days later St. Louis prosecutor Kim Gardner filed felony weapons charges against the couple. However, Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt sought to dismiss the charges while Gov. Mike Parson indicated that he would pardon the couple if they were convicted.
Trump called the charges “absolutely absurd,” according to White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany.
The McCloskeys are a husband-wife attorney team at McCloskey Law Center who specialize in brain injury, spinal injury and catastrophic injury cases. Mark McCloskey is representing Isaiah Forman, a black man who alleges he was unjustly kicked by Officer David Maas in a 2019 incident, The Associated Press reported.
