Thank MissTerri's antivaccine lobbyist friends for that one.
The people who testified against the bill were parents, not lobbyists. Sorry that parents speaking up for their families offends you. Lobbyists are paid, parents speaking up are not. Learn the difference.

What a joke! Do note the Colorado law includes "volunteer" lobbyists.

You do not think there are paid anti-vax lobbyists? Really?

Yeah, except these were parents of kids, many of them parents of vaccine injured children who’s only interest was in protecting their children. I’m sure you didn’t listen to any of the testimony.

And not one of them made vaccination a #1 priority?

Why did you take your kids there?
Weren't you afraid they'd be around unvaxxed kids?

Who is paying all these anti-vaccine lobbyists who are advocating for choice? Please do tell.

No one profits off choice.

LOL! You're sure of a lot of things that are untrue. But keep assuming!

Are you opposed to parents speaking up for parental rights? That offends you?
