Focus on forward: the "Righting the Wrongs" Index
It's a pretty simple question. "Do we want more of the past two years or not?"
UPDATES: 04/15/22 - Factors updated to include No Vaccine Mandate Act (pending 2022) and death rates by state from VAERS; 04/13/22 - Rankings are now available for ALL states!
I’ve developed an index using six factors to rank the current U.S. House of Representatives by their potential for “righting the wrongs” incurred by the H.R.34 - 21st Century Cures Act (2015-2016) passed during the Obama Administration(*). This is solely based on the factors that I feel should motivate their decision to vote towards positive change going into the future. See my post about this 6.5 billion dollar Act passed in 2016 for more background:
Also considered are the co-sponsors of the pending No Vaccine Mandate Act (2022) which “prohibits certain funding made available for the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education and related agencies from being used for implementing or enforcing a rule that requires a COVID-19 vaccine.”: https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/5811/text
Note, this is merely a indication of potential for change rather than pointing of fingers. Each representative has the power of change, and this is just a means of prioritizing the expression of our individual viewpoints. The higher the ranking, the more we need to reach out to them for change.
A similar index will be calculated for our current U.S. Senators in due time. This needs to be a Bipartisan solution because it is a Bipartisan issue. It affects all of us.
Of utmost importance, there is a ten billion+ dollar bill in the House as we speak:
H.R.6000 - Cures 2.0 Act 117th Congress (2021-2022) - https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/6000/text
Latest Action: House - 01/04/2022 Referred to the Subcommittee on Biotechnology, Horticulture, and Research: https://www.congressweb.com/NPCA/legislators/committee/cmte_id/93/
Here is where I need help:
1) Contact Representatives, especially those with a Righting the Wrongs (RTW) Index of 2.0 or higher, and express what change is needed to the proposed Cures 2.0 Act (2022).
2) Ask others to as well.

The sooner we act, the better. I fear if we wait till November, it will be too late. I feel an individual’s own words and stories are most effectual; however, I am thinking about providing some key messages about the proposed bill in future posts. If you decide to contact a representative outside your district, be truthful and up front. Here's an article that discusses the pros and cons: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/is-it-cool-to-complain-to-a-member-of-congress-who-doesnt-represent-me/
Let’s do this!
Righting the Wrongs (RTW) Index
2.5 to 5.5 - Representatives that voted ‘Yea’ or with ‘no vote’ in 2016 have higher rankings in that they may be more motivated to right the wrongs based on their previous vote — regardless of whether those “wrongs” were direct, indirect, unintended, or unanticipated. States with higher death rates according to the VAERS database also have a higher rankings (**).
1.5 to 2.5 - Middle rankings could go either way; therefore, it is a good idea to reach out to them as well if you are able to.
-1.0 to 1.5 - Lower rankings tend to indicate either a representative’s strong support -OR- strong opposition of the bill in its current form.
- = not voting Y= Yea N=Nay S = Sponsor CS = Co-Sponsor as of 4/14/2022

* - “righting the wrongs” is purely subjective and personal in nature. We each have our own opinion. If you feel nothing wrong has occurred to you over the past two years from the passing of the 21st Century Cures Act, then this space — “Foresight is 20/22” — is probably not going to be very beneficially to you.
** - Variation Across States (Source: https://howbadismybatch.com/states.html )
Data from VAERS for 2021 USA for Pfizer, Moderna and Janssen vaccines
Column 2 = Number of deaths following vaccination
Column 6 = Number of people vaccinated
Column 7 = Deaths per 100,000 vaccinated
Remember the Nuremberg code? Coercing people to take an experimental drug or vax is illegal. Why is the law being ignored and violated?
My Representative is in it for himself and blows off requests. I think he's a Republican/ RINO, but I'm not positive. All I know is if we get to vote, I won't be voting for him. My Senator seems to be a staunch Republican trying to do things right for America. He's an ex-marine. (Once a Marine, always a Marine.) --- Knowing the above, I don't know if requesting help would do any good. --- This new bill needs to be stopped!
