Capitol Building, Sacramento, front steps
Calling activists to rally their opposition to the Emergency Health Powers Act (In California- Bill 1763) in Sacramento at the Capitol steps, March 21, 2002. We will rally, have a press conference, and then visit our legislators’ staff from 11:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m..
The California Bill, based upon Model Health Emergency Health Powers Act, would allow the governor to declare a "public health emergency", and without consulting with public health authorities, law enforcement, the legislature or courts, to:
· Require any individual to be vaccinated. Refusal constitutes a crime and will result in quarantine.
· Require any individual to undergo specific medical treatment. Refusal constitutes a crime and will result in quarantine.
· Seize any property, including real estate, food, medicine, fuel or clothing, an official thinks necessary to handle the emergency.
· Seize and destroy any property alleged to be hazardous. There will be no compensation or recourse.
· Draft you or your business into state service.
· Impose rationing, price controls, quotas and transportation controls.
· Suspend any state law, regulation or rule that is thought to interfere with handling the declared emergency.
