Before you vote, know who’s actually fighting for YOU. John Fleming cannot be bought, bullied, or bossed by the DC Swamp or the Baton Rouge political clique. He answers to the people — not the insiders. Early Voting ends Saturday, May 9th. Election Day is Saturday, May 16th.

A peer-reviewed paper published last year in the journal Bioethics by two professors at Western Michigan University School of Medicine argues that it is "morally obligatory" to genetically engineer ticks to spread alpha-gal syndrome, a permanent condition that makes you violently allergic to red meat. The paper is called "Beneficial Bloodsucking." Their argument: if eating meat is morally wrong, then preventing the spread of a disease that forces people to stop eating meat is also morally wrong. Scientists should gene-edit lone star ticks to enhance their ability to carry alpha-gal syndrome and expand their range into urban environments to infect more people. They call this a "moral bioenhancer." They frame releasing genetically modified disease-carrying ticks as a "vaccination" that only "infringes" on your bodily autonomy rather than "violating" it. The distinction, apparently, is that a tick bit you instead of a government official holding you down. Alpha-gal syndrome is not mild. The CDC estimates up to 450,000 Americans are already affected. Cases have surged 100-fold in the last decade. Symptoms include anaphylaxis. There is no cure. Alpha-gal cases are exploding across the United States. The lone star tick's range is expanding far beyond its historical territory. And two academics at a medical school published a paper arguing this is a good thing that should be accelerated. At what point do we stop treating papers like this as fringe academic exercises and start asking whether anyone is already acting on them?

🗳️ VOTE JOHN FLEMING 📅 SATURDAY MAY 16 ⚠️ LOUISIANA: Did you get a Trump endorsement text for Julia Letlow today? It was paid for by “Save American Freedom”, Virginia-based super PAC. Their $50,000 in funding came from ANOTHER out of state political committee, NOT Louisiana voters. We don’t yet know who’s behind the money. The filing deadline hasn’t passed. That’s the machine talking. Not Louisiana.

Senator Bill Cassidy has drawn a formal primary challenger. Remember he voted to CONVICT Trump during his second impeachment trial. Former Rep. John Fleming is challenging Senator Cassidy. This is just the first of many to come. Rounds, Risch, and others might be next. We are watching closely to see if Trump gets his cabinet!
