COVID-19 hysteria made many freedom-loving Americans search for the states with the most common sense.
Florida & Texas often receive the bastion of freedom label from conservatives.
Both governors have pushed back against tyrannical COVID-19 jab mandates.
Ron DeSantis & Greg Abbott took executive action against mandates and urged their state legislatures to put the bans into law.
But here’s something interesting about Florida & Texas.
Both states accepted federal funding to push the experimental COVID-19 jabs to their citizens.
In fact, there’s only one state to reject this federal funding.
You have to look north to the state of New Hampshire.
“The Granite State” turned away $27 million in federal funding allocated for COVID-19 jab outreach.
Despite pleas from Republican Governor Chris Sununu, four GOP councilors voted no to the federal dollars.

AP reported:
New Hampshire’s Executive Council on Wednesday rejected $27 million in federal funds for vaccination outreach, thrilling outspoken activists who previously derailed a public meeting and delayed the vote. Nine were arrested Wednesday after audience members repeatedly interrupted the debate.
Among other things, the money would have allowed the state to hire a public health manager and a dozen workers to promote the COVID-19 vaccine and address public concerns about it.
Opponents argued the grant language would have required the state to comply with any “future directives” issued by the Biden administration regarding COVID-19, such as vaccine mandates. The same language has appeared in other grants accepted by the council, a five-member body that approves state contracts. And it does not in any way impede the state’s sovereignty, said both Attorney General John Formella and Republican Gov. Chris Sununu.
“I appreciate that you have concerns, but they’re based on fantasy,” Sununu told Councilor Joe Kenney.
“You reject these federal dollars, the federal government doesn’t put it in a savings account. … They’re going to send it to New York and California. The dollars are ours, for programs we already implemented,” said Sununu. “So to say no makes no logical sense whatsoever.”
All four of the Republican councilors voted against the grants, including David Wheeler, who urged Sununu to “stand up like the governor of Texas.” Although Sununu plans to join a lawsuit against President Joe Biden’s COVID-19 vaccine mandates for private employers, he said he won’t be following the lead of Texas Gov. Gregg Abbott, who on Monday issued an executive order barring private companies or any other entity from requiring vaccines.
“You want the government to tell private businesses who to hire and fire?” Sununu said. “That is completely un-American.”
Governor Sununu’s comments sound familiar to South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem.
Sununu doesn’t want the government to tell private businesses who to hire and fire?
In reality, he refuses to stand up to corporations that enforce Biden’s tyrannical mandate.
Last time I checked, corporations shouldn’t have the power to trample on individual rights and medical freedom.
Without firm support to protect citizens from employer COVID-19 jab mandates, the Executive Council rejected the federal contract.
Sununu later accused the dissenting councilors of ‘communism’ for rejecting the federal dollars.
From Mediaite:
New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu (R) dueled with his fellow Republicans on Wednesday, accusing them of “communism” as they turned down his demand to approve $27 million in federal funding related to Covid-19.
The raucous debate took place at a meeting of the state Executive Council, which holds the power to veto contracts sought by the governor valued at more than $10,000. Sununu was seeking to approve two federal contracts worth $27 million in funding related to Covid-19. The money would have been used for tasks including vaccine outreach and data entry for the state’s immunization system.
Republicans expressed reservations about signing off on the contracts, citing President Joe Biden’s mandate requiring businesses to force their employees to be vaccinated. They asked Sununu to issue a counter-mandate, but Sununu refused.
Governor Sununu’s statement is ludicrous.
The experimental COVID-19 jabs are used as a tool of medical tyranny.
Rejecting federal funding to promote them is the exact opposite of communism.
This proposed contract had 27 million reasons for politicians to get rich off federal dollars.
Major props to the councilors who realized the consequences of this contract.
Not one penny should go into promoting this medical experiment that belongs in the trash.
