Legislation has been introduced in the Michigan Legislature to nullify the unconstitutional World Health Organization (WHO) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). It is imperative that legislators enact this bill and protect our God-given freedoms!

House Bill No. 4859 (HB 4859) is sponsored by Representative Luke Meerman (R-Coopersville) and 17 other representatives.

If enacted, HB 4859 would prevent any edicts or recommendations from the WHO or CDC from being enforced in Michigan. The bill declares:

Notwithstanding any other provision of this code to the contrary, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization do not have jurisdiction in this state. A requirement, mandate, recommendation, instruction, or guidance provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention or the World Health Organization has no force or effect and must not be used in this state to justify a mask, vaccine, or medical testing requirement.

HB 4859 comes as the WHO is planning a major power grab to allow it to impose draconian restrictions, such as vaccine passports and other “health” measures, at a global level. This comes in the form of a proposed global “pandemic treaty” and in possible amendments to the International Health Regulations (IHR). In addition to advancing medical tyranny, these changes would empower international bureaucracy at the expense of American sovereignty.

HB 4859 is firmly grounded in the text of the U.S. Constitution. Specifically, Article VI binds state legislators — along with members of Congress and judges — to their oath to support the U.S. Constitution.

Article VI also states, “This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof … shall be the supreme Law of the Land.” (Emphasis added.) State legislators are required to uphold and implement only those laws that are “made in Pursuance” to the Constitution. Any laws not “made in Pursuance thereof” are therefore not the supreme Law of the Land and, as such, state legislators are under no obligation to enforce or carry out their provisions. Instead, they should interpose, or nullify, such laws within the boundaries of their state.

This stipulation applies to the treaty-making power. Treaties (including U.S. membership in the WHO) must also be subject to, and bound by, the limitations of the Constitution.

In a letter dated September 7, 1803, then-President Thomas Jefferson wrote, “I say the same as to the opinion of those who consider the grant of the treaty making power as boundless. If it is, then we have no Constitution.” This was further affirmed by the Supreme Court of the United States, in Reid v. Covert (1957).

Urge your state representative and senator to support HB 4859 and to push back against all other unconstitutional laws at every level of government.


Although we provide a way to easily email legislators, we know from long experience that it takes a lot more interaction with your legislators to get your point across than that provided by emails alone.

That's why we provide an easy way not only to email them, but to contact them by phone, tweet, and even video message them.

Contact your state legislators

Please help enact HB 4859 by contacting your state legislators. Inform them of ways the WHO's, HHS's, and CDC's recommendations and edicts violate the U.S. Constitution and our God-given individual liberties. Urge them to support strong measures that uphold and enforce the Constitution.
