Well, they say that, but in other states that have that, they've already done it. And one of the things also that they lie about it, they'll say that this doesn't cost taxpayers anything. And it's a complete lie because they use federal funding. They use federal funding to stand the clinic up for that first one or two years. So HealthReach uses federal funding.
They'll use a mixture of funding from, let's say, Health and Human Services or the American Rescue Act of 2021. For those of you who know, it's supposed to be for COVID. They use it for that. And then after the first one or two years, they'll have to raise taxes, property taxes, do a referendum for for main residents to keep the clinics going.
And if you say, hey, I don't want this referendum, it'll be, oh, you're taking you're taking health care away from poor kids. It's always weaponizing your empathy. You know, we often say here, courage is a habit. We don't have an oppression problem in this country. We have an idiot empathy problem. And that's what they always drive good people's empathy to to get these things passed.
No. The thing that they do, Megan, that's a tactic they always use across all 50 states, is they'll try to punt it until parents stop paying attention. And we've seen this. My organization fights this at every level, whether it's the porn in schools or the critical race theory. Transgender ideology every time something like this happens. They'll punt it because they know parents are busy and
And a lot of people look at punting as a victory. And so when they stop paying attention, they're going to go ahead and sneak it in. But it's a different day. And we are definitely not letting anyone forget it. And so our suspicion is that they're going to try to punt it until they can quietly install it or vote it in.
But for sure, the heat is getting to them because they wanted to vote this in December 5th. They snuck in this agenda on Thanksgiving Eve. Imagine that. Imagine being so proud of this of this medical clinic. It's so good that they snuck the agenda in on Thanksgiving Eve and then they were going to do the vote on December 5th, hoping nobody was going to pay attention. Bad news for them.
We were paying attention and we're not going to stop.
Drop us an email at team at courage is a habit.org, or you can drop us a DM on our X, which is at courage habit.
So we know that they talk a lot of mad garbage in the emails. And so what we were FOIAing was we were looking for an ethical conversation between them and HealthReach because they were saying, oh, no, we didn't approach them, and this is all above board. But we knew that they weren't. That's the clinic, HealthReach. HealthReach, the clinic, right. And so we FOIAed, we were looking for that.
So I had sent them an email when I was in Maine last, and I gave them the benefit of the doubt. I said, hey, listen, you guys got this sales pitch from HealthReach. Of course, like any salesperson, they're going to leave certain things out, even if they're not outright lying to you. And this is, I think, I mean, I'll let your viewers judge, but I thought it was a pretty cordial email.
I said, hey, there's going to be some things that you don't know about these clinics that we've seen in other states. I like to meet with some of you or all of you and like to share some of the things that you don't know. When you're installing something as serious as a medical clinic and you're dealing with people's children's health. you should know everything before you make this decision.
Sent the email, didn't hear from them, didn't expect that too, but you know, I tried. And then when we were FOIAing for some of the unethical conversation, we saw that they were doing these group text messages. And in Maine, if you have either four or five people on a group text, we can FOIA that. So we said, okay, we'll FOIA that too.
And we saw one of the texts, one of the school board members, Matthew Lillibridge, Well, in response to my email offering to give them information, he said, we'll see how much courage he has when I answer the door with an AR-15 and a Doberman.
What kind of person responds to an email offering information? And he could have said, you know, Megan, he could have said, you know, we'll see how tough he is. I'll get in his face. I'll punch him in the nose. I'll punch him in the mouth. Nope. He went right to the AR-15. And this is a school board member who's literally, I'm not making this up, Megan. He's running again for his seat right now.
They always are.
Well, I think like most Americans, I've really took my hands off the wheel. I was born here. I was lucky to be born here. My great grandfather, he was an older man already when he left Mao's communism. And, you know, he owned two bakeries, not a rich man by any stretch, two very humble bakeries. And when Miles Redguard dragged him out and beat him, it wasn't soldiers.
They were college kids, high school kids, just like what we're seeing today across the country being developed in K through 12 and in colleges. And so when he came here, it was obviously very tough. You come here as an old man, you don't even know the language and you definitely try to make a life here because you know there isn't a life when communism comes.
So my father has always reminded myself and my siblings that He would always tell us when we were younger, if you can't make it in America, you can't make it anywhere. And like most Americans, I've really taken that for granted. I've been able to do a lot of other things in my life and not having to worry about it.
If you asked me 10 years ago who the mayor was in my city, I probably couldn't tell you, much less who's on school board. But being from California, when I saw how California turned out and we moved to Indiana, I saw the same things happening in Indiana, but in a smaller sense in California. It really hit me that nobody's escaping out of Florida to Cuba in the middle of the night.
If America goes the way it's going, there's nowhere else for my children, your children, anybody's children to go. I think that really thinking about my great grandfather running like that really kind of really drove me to say, you know, even in the tiniest way, I got to try to do something because I've enjoyed my freedom so much. And I've been able to do things great, you know, fun things.
