CT REligious Exemption RePEAL LEGAL CHALLENGE UPDATES
UPDATE - November 16, 2022
Governor Lamont moved to Dismiss our case; his motion was DENIED, and he immediately appealed. As a result, there is an "automatic stay / freeze" of lower court proceedings pending the outcome of the appeal. We filed a Motion to Terminate that Stay and we are optimistic that the Judge agrees with us.
The stakes are higher than ever when considering that the CDC recently voted to include the experimental Covid shot to the required school schedule - outside of Home Schooling, the Religious Exemption will be the ONLY way you will be able to avoid your child receiving this unnecessary and potentially dangerous or even deadly shot. While the Covid shot is not currently on the childhood schedule, it is the elephant in the room.
HERE is a recording of the hearing on November 14th on our motion to Lift the stay/freeze on our challenge to the State of Connecticut's removal of the school vaccine Religious Exemption.

Religious Exemption Repeal Lawsuit Updates:
AS OF 8/29/2022 -
Our CT religious exemption lawsuit is heating up. It is a landmark case with potential national impact.
Attorneys Lindy Urso, Jim Mermigis and Kevin Barry are ready to take this case to trial, and things have been moving quickly since we filed in April.
We are thrilled to announce that our friends at Children's Health Defense have offered to match contributions made between now and Thursday Sept 1st up to $40,000!
Please act now to double your impact, you can help us win!
A little about the case:
The lawsuit to restore the religious exemption in CT is a critically important case of first impression.
CT has a state Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) statute which requires the highest level of judicial scrutiny of laws which burden religion, which CT repeal law certainly does.
The Preliminary Injunction hearing in this case will likely be held during the week of September 12th in Stamford, CT Superior Court.
We estimate that the entire cost of the legal process will be $250K.
This matching fund campaign will go a long way towards achieving our goal.
Thank you all for sticking with us, it’s been a wild ride!
In Love and Liberty,
LeeAnn Ducat, Spokesperson
Lindy R. Urso, Esq
James G. Mermigis, Esq.
Kevin M. Barry, Esq.
