There are so many things wrong with this law it's hard to know where to begin. Informed consent is meaningless in the state of Maine. Private health decisions are now forced upon Maine citizens and if we choose to make our own decisions we are ostracized!
There was no public health emergency that warranted this absurd law. In 45 other states my children can attend school, but in Maine? My kids are not allowed to attend school that MY TAX DOLLARS PAY FOR!
There is no liability for these mandated shots, they expect parents/individuals to accept 100% of the risk of side effects, lifelong disability, or death. That's not a risk I'm willing to take for my family. This was never about health, this is about control. If it was about health, why are we not allowed to attend online schools? Our employment and educational opportunities have been stripped away because we cannot make our own health choices. Ridiculous!!
Codey supported: A Plea to Investigate Maine's Violation of Civil Rights and Religious FreedomsI lost a very good job because of vaccine mandates. I was the finance director for a health center. Even though I was not a patient facing employee, I was still mandated to get the Covid vaccine. I was refused my religious exemption. When my boss I was notified that I was covered under federal law, she was forced to accept it. My work environment became so toxic, I had to get done.
Beth supported: A Plea to Investigate Maine's Violation of Civil Rights and Religious FreedomsAh- I have been crafting my own similar letter to Mr. Trump, compelling him not to forget about the healthcare workers displaced by Maine's tyrannical Covid-19 mandates. I was thrilled to see him give military members the option to return- with back pay! I do hope and pray we have the same opportunity. I was an RN at St. Mary's in Lewiston for 12 years before losing my position. I was denied unemployment. I know I am not alone.
Jessie supported: A Plea to Investigate Maine's Violation of Civil Rights and Religious FreedomsOur faith, and our practice thereof, is dramatically hindered by this current vaccine law in the great State of Maine. As a Christian husband and father of 6, we have already witnessed this law have a negative impact on our family as our children are prohibited from various activities due to our objection to vaccines for our children. This is a clear violation of our first amendment rights and our religious freedoms are being hindered as we are being limited from various things in the society simply because we feel that our faith in Jesus would be offended if we were to vaccinate. If others wish to be vaccinated, that is their choice. But we feel it would be contrary to our understanding of the Christian faith if we had human parts injected into us. This is a choice that we should be allowed to make without consequence to what we are permitted to do as a family. Already, one of our children has had to miss an entire basketball season through the public school system solely due to his lack of vaccination. My son has been playing sports since he was old enough to throw a ball, but now we are quite concerned with what his future options will be due to this law that was enacted in 2021. Please, let's repeal this law!
John supported: A Plea to Investigate Maine's Violation of Civil Rights and Religious FreedomsWe chose to homeschool when more vaccines were mandated for our kids to go to public school. We had previously used a Religious Exemption. We are blessed to be able to do so, but there are many others that aren't as fortunate. My son played football on a league in 6th grade, but when football started going through the public school in 7th grade, he wasn't allowed to play unless we went against our deeply held beliefs.
Julie supported: A Plea to Investigate Maine's Violation of Civil Rights and Religious FreedomsHow can anyone have faith in the judicial system watching the Common Wealth VS. Karen Read case? I approached this case objectively like I do with all trials, so I had a very unbiased opinion at the start! Shouldn’t a defendant in any case, as their constitutional right, have a fair trial? Judge Beverly Cannone is stripping the defendant her rights to a fair trial! “God save the common wealth” is a sentence that should be said as “God save the innocent from powerful, corrupt figures in Norfolk County!” There needs to be change, votes matter. Get DA Morrissey out of the office, his influence is apparent as in his connection to Judge Beverly Cannone! Tax payer’s dollars should not have to pay for “expert” witnesses that cost $400,000 for 8 months of work! The world is watching this case, we need our judicial system to be trusted and the innocent set free! I am praying for all of the citizens of Massachusetts! Any one of you can be Karen Read!
Jenn supported: Restoring the Faith; Removal of Judge Beverly Cannone (CW vs Karen Read)Demand for Justice and Oversight in the Case of Karen Read**
To:
The Office of the Massachusetts Attorney General,
The U.S. Department of Justice – Civil Rights Division,
The Office of the Inspector General – Commonwealth of Massachusetts,
And other relevant authorities,
**We, the undersigned,** as concerned citizens and advocates for justice and accountability, write this petition to urgently bring attention to the ongoing case of **Karen Read**, a Massachusetts resident currently facing criminal charges under circumstances that have raised profound and alarming questions about the conduct and integrity of the investigation and prosecution against her.
### **Background:**
Karen Read has been charged in connection with the death of Boston Police Officer John O’Keefe. However, since the beginning of this case, **multiple inconsistencies, conflicts of interest, and irregularities** have emerged involving law enforcement, prosecutors, and other officials handling the matter.
Public concern has grown due to:
* Allegations of **evidence tampering or withholding**,
* Reports suggesting **collusion among members of the Canton Police Department**, local prosecutors, and others,
* An **apparent lack of transparency** from the Commonwealth,
* Perceived **bias or misconduct within the judicial process**.
These allegations have led many to question whether Karen Read is being denied her constitutional rights to a fair trial and due process.
### **Our Demands:**
We respectfully request the following:
1. **An independent federal investigation** into the handling of Karen Read’s case, including actions by the Canton Police Department, the Norfolk County District Attorney's Office, and any involved officials.
2. **Immediate review of judicial conduct** and whether any judges overseeing this case have failed to maintain impartiality or allowed prosecutorial overreach.
3. **Full public disclosure** of all relevant case files, evidence, and communications that have been withheld or redacted.
4. **Protection for whistleblowers** and any individuals who have attempted to bring forward information about misconduct related to this case.
5. **Accountability** for any public officials found to have acted in bad faith or in violation of their oath to uphold justice.
### **Why This Matters:**
This case goes beyond one individual. It is about preserving the **public’s faith in the legal system**, ensuring that **no one is above the law**, and protecting citizens from the devastating impact of **corruption or misconduct** by those in positions of power.
We demand transparency, fairness, and truth—not only for Karen Read but for every citizen who relies on our justice system to operate with integrity and honor.
### **We, the Undersigned, Call for Action.**
Respectfully,
Carmen Martinez

Carmen supported: Restoring the Faith; Removal of Judge Beverly Cannone (CW vs Karen Read)As a tax payer in Norfolk County I am appalled. I began following this case with a perspective led by faith in the judicial process. I presumed likely guilt. I listened with an open mind until it became clear that, at minimum, a proper investigation was never done. And because of that John OKeefe will never get justice.
Es supported: Restoring the Faith; Removal of Judge Beverly Cannone (CW vs Karen Read)You’re not alone — a community of supporters is ready to back you.
