Learn the Facts from our Prestigious List of Speakers
Saturday, April 5th, 8 am – 5:30 pm
The College Republicans of Liberty University have invited Feds for Freedom and the Virginia Medical Freedom Alliance to a summit to advance medical freedom and our Constitutional rights. Our rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness our endowed by our Creator. The Constitution and our government are tasked with protecting those unalienable rights. It is our job to hold our local, state and federal government accountable. Without accountability there is tyranny, and accountability requires knowledge: the medical tyranny that began in the midst of Covid-19 continues to attack the doctor-patient relationship. Patients are reduced to statistics rather than upheld as human beings made in the image of God, to be respected and cared for at every stage of life.
Join us on Saturday, April 5th and hear from a dynamic list of speakers on the issues we faced and continue to face in our healthcare system, especially in Virginia.
This conference will bring you the inside story of federal employees who responded to the loss of freedom: unconstitutional mandates, lack of patient confidentiality, unlawful orders. Listen to those who stood at the front lines and continue to alert, educate and lead the nation.
How is our health destroyed by unseen forces in our food, environment and in vaccines? Are vaccines safe and effective or are there risks? Should pharmaceutical companies be liable for injury from the products they produce or should they remain protected by the federal government?
As President Trump begins to untangle the United States from the World Health Organization, learn why it is critical that we remain vigilant about its policies as well as those of One Health and the United Nations.
Virginia is being taken over politically by those advocating a radical pro-abortion and transgender agenda. Arm yourself with the facts to protect yourself and your family.
Learn how good physicians are providing patient-centered care despite pressure from the medical industrial complex.
What are the implications for the security of our nation if 70% of our youth cannot pass a military physical, and how can this be fixed?
The day concludes with a panel discussion about the under-appreciated danger and devastation of human trafficking and how healthy people and families can mitigate the risks.
Speakers are subject to change without notice.
