  • Mask Lawsuit Idaho

    A mask lawsuit in Idaho is to be filed against the Panhandle Health District. The end result, if successful, would allow an otherwise free people to be able to make their own health decisions without fear of criminality.

    Interview regarding mask mandate lawsuit

    The plaintiffs in the case include Pleasant Meadow Dairy.

    “We care that our customers can get our milk and make choices in what they eat and how they live there lives.  We trust our customers are like us – intelligent and responsible – and that they care for their neighbors as themselves.  We trust them to make the right choices in regards to masking or not and think the choice should be theirs, and not the government’s.

    We also do not think health boards should have the power to make otherwise law-abiding citizens suddenly criminals subject to misdemeanor charges with penalties including fines up to $1,000 and significant jail time.

    Further, we care about law enforcement officers and the conundrum they are now put under with such mandates, including their own personal convictions on the subject, but now having to be put in the position of having to arrest otherwise good citizens of our counties.

    We have therefore agreed to work as plaintiffs with two very liberty-minded attorneys in our area to file suit against appropriate parties seeking a temporary and permanent injunction against the mandates. “

    Paul Herdon, Pleasant Meadow Dairy

    Boyles Law and The MacPherson group are working together to represent several plaintiffs affected by the vague and irrational Panhandle Health District mask mandate issued on July 23, 2020. The Board of Directors for Panhandle Health District approved and issued a mandatory mask order for all persons in Kootenai County, presumably visitors, and residents. Therefore, there is now an active Kootenai County mask mandate.

    Goal $25,000 for Expert Witnesses

    Find out how this money will be accounted for (by a certified public accountant) and hear from Colton Boyles, one of the lawyers who has taken up the challenge to fight the mask mandate. The impact of a successful lawsuit will help preserve liberty for the ENTIRE state.

    Update on Fundraiser for Mask Mandate Lawsuit to be filed Monday August 3

    A WonderWe fundraiser has been established. They have asked all liberty-minded, freedom-loving Idahoans give to the cause.  A $100 donation would be amazing from each and every person as we are going to need $25,000 to enter the fray. *They mention that ANY amount helps!

    Government Mandates vs Personal Responsibility

    “We have personal convictions about government mandates and personal responsibility that favor personal responsibility and liberty over governmental mandates in every area of our lives, even public health. 

    Furthermore, we do not believe the science backs masks working as a deterrent to virion transmission, particularly cloth masks worn by the general populace without any personal protective equipment training, sanitation, and discipline.” 

    A message from Paul Herndon, Pleasant Meadow Creamery

    They have created a post linking the various studies on the subject here:

    Faulty Use of PPE Creates Problems

    Speaking of use of personal protective equipment, (PPE), we have documented evidence that not even the governor of Idaho, Brad Little, nor Anthony Fauci, the president’s advisor, properly observe exercise of sanitary PPE practices.  These screen grabs are from just the last couple of days.  The governor hands his mask off his ear, handles it with his fingers touching the inside of the mask, and just generally does not follow good PPE protocol.

    Anthony Fauci, likewise, violates proper mask protocol. Here, he is hanging the mask below his chin having contaminated the mask with his hands, and now on his dirty and contaminated neck.

    If these two guys can’t get it right, how is the general public supposed to?

    The World Health Organization has produced two videos on proper mask etiquette/handling – one that is for surgical style masks, and the other for cloth masks.  Note the surgical style are to be disposed of immediately after use, while the cloth ones require copious hand washing with alcohol based sanitizer even to touch the thing:

    WHO Cloth Masks

    Centura Health did a very interesting video showing how easily your common person is going to contaminate their mask:

    Contaminating the Mask

    Finally, we think you would find this video by Patrick Bet-David very interesting.  He covers all of the above and just some common-sense practicality in regards to masking.

    Face Masks – Helpful or Hoax?

    What does all this mean?

    From the Pleasant Meadow Creamery blog:

    We care that our customers can get our milk and make choices in what they eat and how they live there lives.  We trust our customers are like us – intelligent and responsible – and that they care for their neighbors as themselves.  We trust them to make right choices in regards to masking or not and think the choice should be theirs, and not government’s.

    We also do not think health boards should have the power to make otherwise law-abiding citizens suddenly criminals subject to misdemeanor charges with penalties including fines up to $1,000 and significant jail time.

    Further, we care about law enforcement officers and the conundrum they are now put under with such mandates, including their own personal convictions on the subject, but now having to be put in the position of having to arrest otherwise good citizens of our counties.

    We listened to the entire Panhandle Health Board hearing and we found the physician, nurse, and Kootenai Medical Center officers skewed the data and ramifications to sway the vote.  The public was given little consideration, and the mandate was passed.

    The mandate itself is vague and poorly written.

    Lawsuit and Temporary Injunction

    We have therefore agreed to work as plaintiffs with two very liberty minded attorneys in our area to file suit against appropriate parties seeking temporary and permanent injunction against the mandates.  The end result, if successful, would allow an otherwise free people to be able to make their own health decisions without fear of criminality.

    It will allow us to make our milk deliveries to Kootenai County without fear of criminality and prosecution, since we choose not to mask. 

    We respect your right to mask if that is what you want to do, and we do not have a negative view of that choice.  It’s yours to make.

    To enter this fight, and because the attorneys we will be retaining have already been busy in the whole COVID era, many times working pro bono, we want to be sure they can be compensated adequately to fight.

    We are therefore establishing a WonderWe fundraiser and ask all liberty-minded, freedom-loving Idahoans give to the cause.  A $100 donation would be amazing from each and every person as we are going to need $25,000 to enter the fray.

    Our intent is to prepare a lawsuit this weekend with filing on Monday so we can get a hearing next week on the temporary order.

  • Panhandle Health District’s Emergency Mask Meeting

    The local health department held a meeting today in North Idaho, which was suppose to be open to the “public.” The main item on the agenda: mandatory masks. The public had less than 24 hours notice. More than 200 people showed up to stand for your freedom- all ages- moms with kids in tow, elderly folks, people in ministry, and retired law enforcement and more than 500 logged in to their zoom call. The sheriff was on hand to keep the public from attending the meeting. Asking the public who was there to attend and offer public comment to ‘just let them (the health district) have their meeting’ and to ‘picket outside’.

    The meeting was interrupted early on, not only by attending members of the public who were not allowed access to the meeting that was discussing the possibility of a mask mandate but also by a hacker who managed to break into a Zoom’s screen-sharing function and write “No Masks” on the data slides. The move forced speakers to abandon the slides and speak of their scripted presentations.

    A motion by the Panhandle Health District board of health to mandate masks failed to come to a vote, as no other member would second the motion to require residents and visitors to wear the protective coverings.

     A mom attending the meeting reported:

    We were not allowed into the meeting room. Instead we filled the hot lobby. ( almost like the AC was purposefully tuned off to deter the public from coming. ) They were hoping for a secret meeting, and they did not get that. They failed to get a second motion for mandated masks. 

    You can be supportive of masks, you can wear a mask all day long for all I care….and still you can be completely against the government MANDATING a face covering for men, women and children.

    Where I live, we still enjoy our freedom to gather for  church services on Sunday. People in states with mandated masks have been out of church since March! So please do not tell me there is no correlation. The governor of California has admitted that (even WITH mandated masks that he believes work so well) churches will be closed indefinitely.  (until a vaccine is made and mandated)

    Mandatory masks WILL directly affect your freedom….long term. It will effect your freedom to gather and worship,  your children’s freedom to go to school and your ability to live your life without a covering over your face. This is more then a “slippery slope”……it’s a complete cliff jump into a  mandated Covid Vaccine.

    Don’t fall for it. They are playing off of your fear right now. 

    I am more than happy to give you  6 feet or more distance while out shopping, in order to respect your space and make you feel safer, but don’t you dare push your fear on my children’s future.

    Northern Idaho Sheriff tells all 200 people waiting to ATTEND a public health meeting that there is only room for 16 in one room live and 18 individuals in the other room.
    In this video you hear the sheriff call the public who showed up to voice their concerns at a public health meeting – “protesters” telling them to have their ‘picket outside’ asking the public to just ‘let them (the health district) have their meeting.’ These are un-elected officials who are instituting mandates that require medical interventions on healthy people across the state. Where there is forced medicine there is NO LIBERTY.

    The next meeting is to be held next Thursday, July 23, 2020.

    Local friends, please come. If I can show up as a mother of 5 young kids and a husband with a crazy work schedule, you can too! This is our children’s future we are talking about. Please show up. 

    KEEP CHECKING THE SITE REGARDING MEETING INFORMATION:

    Our health districts are not required to give much-advanced notice. Panhandle Health District says minutes from the meeting will be posted here in the near future, but it was about the use of masks in public settings, which the discussion will be continued at the next Board of Health meeting on the 23rd. https://panhandlehealthdistrict.org/about-us/

    MASK INFORMATION RESOURCE:

    In the Journal of the American Medical Association:

    “Face masks should not be worn by healthy individuals to protect themselves from acquiring respiratory infection because there is no evidence to suggest that face masks worn by healthy individuals are effective in preventing people from becoming ill.

    Face masks should be used only by individuals who have symptoms of respiratory infection such as coughing, sneezing, or, in some cases, fever.

    Face masks should also be worn by healthcare workers, by individuals who are taking care of or are in close contact with people who have respiratory infections, or otherwise as directed by a doctor.
