Arkansas’ Sunshine Laws Under Attack
In this article, we hope to be able to show you reasons why we cannot afford to lose this battle regarding our freedom of information. So, here are some serious consequences that could happen IF we cannot stop Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders, her husband, Bryan, and the minions she uses in our Arkansas legislature from dismantling our good FOIA. It was one of the best in the country.
We must NOT allow government or medical censorship. We must help to keep transparency within government open, both state and federal! Things done in secret are not good for us…
We must always have access to open meetings and open records to see what state health officials, emergency managers, policy-makers, and our governors are doing and have done concerning our past and future public health.
Secure Arkansas has attended the Arkansas Department of Health meetings, and the board doesn’t like it. They hated it when it came to the malicious fluoridation mandate and aided by Delta Dental. There’s a treasure trove on Delta Dental if you want to use our search box on SecureArkansas.com. This cruel 2011 Arkansas mandate still begs to be overturned, dear readers!
Time and time again, the government wants to cover-up their spiteful actions and the harm it may have caused, and they want to function away from public scrutiny.
The Arkansas FOIA petitions currently circulating are the absolute best option to STOP the destruction of our freedom of information (FOI) in this state. Other states need to get busy, too, doing whatever they can to protect their own Sunshine Laws.
Please do not hesitate to sign and help circulate the petitions quickly because we are running out of time, dear readers! We need them on the ballot this Fall for the Arkansas voters to be able to decide the fate of the FOIA.
After you pick up some blank petitions, you can go to events around the state, sporting events, the Revenue Offices, your church, friends, family, and co-workers to encourage them to sign and also to help gather signatures.
Consider attending these May & June events to get some signatures. Time is running out!
Remember: July 5, 2024, all signed petitions must be turned in to the Secretary of State. The main thing to remember is you must NOT lump all signatures of voters from different counties together on the same signature page because they have to be broken down by counties in which the signers/signatures reside. (See this previous alert for more info: Instructions for Arkansas FOIA Petition Canvassers)
We are greatly concerned about the symbiotic relationship in which there is corporate influence with our government, and they are working hand-in-hand together, especially medical/healthcare. Look at “the establishment” in which Big Pharma plays a huge part and wants records and meetings limited or closed to the public.
So, we know that the medical sector is supposed to be required to comply with sunshine laws, too. Why? Because they have major corporate players within the global pharmaceutical companies. Also, manufacturers are supposedly required to disclose specific information which should be part of their regular reporting and operating procedures.
And please don’t miss this from Child Health Safety:
Vaccines Did Not Save Us – 2 Centuries Of Official Statistics

This is the data the drug industry do not want you to see. Here 2 centuries of UK, USA and Australian official death statistics show conclusively and scientifically modern medicine is not responsible for and played little part in substantially improved life expectancy and survival from disease in western economies.
A detailed Contents listing of this article with each category of disease and related graphs appears after the Introduction.
During the damnable COVID-19 plandemic, emergency powers were used in an unprecedented way to abuse the public. State health officials’ misused their emergency powers. Also, governors used emergency powers in their states: some were good use, like limiting the duration of the emergency, and some were terrible, like enforcement authority for state agencies. So, there were cases in which some governors restricted emergency powers, and some took liberty to intensify emergency powers.
From MedPage Today: Lawsuit Challenges Federal Vaccine Injury Compensation Program
— Claims “consistently lost, ignored, denied, or caught up” in bureaucracy, complaint alleges
Snippets:
The CICP is meant to provide compensation for serious injury or death as a result of the administration of a countermeasure, such as vaccines, to address a public health emergency, according to the Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA), a division of HHS. Both HRSA and HHS are named as defendants in the case.
But the plaintiffs argued that the court should “strike down” the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act of 2005 that was used to create the CICP “to the extent it fails to provide basic due process protections, transparency, and judicial oversight.”
Corporations definitely abused the health scare and threatened job loss if their employees didn’t comply with the loaded COVID-19 injections under the Emergency Use Authorization (EUA). The travesty of the global elites and their plandemic still affects us and our health today because the COVID-19 injections were neither safe nor effective!
To this day, the World Health Organization (WHO) — run by criminals — still calls COVID-19 a pandemic, even after declaring an end to the public health emergency on May 5, 2023.
The world is being herded into a totalitarian government, if not stopped by people living in ALL countries. We must beware of this “One Health Approach” via the World Bank.
And don’t forget this older article that was written back in 2009 by the Wall Street Journal:
Here’s an excerpt:
An article in the Times of London, headlined “Billionaire Club in Bid to Curb World Population,” said the issues discussed in the top-secret meeting included health care, education and–by far the most controversial–slowing the global population growth.
The United Nations (One World Government) World Health Organization’s so-called Pandemic Treaty is nothing but a world power grab that will carry dreadful global implications! Here is the proposal for the WHO pandemic treaty.
James Roguski provided us with a lot of good information regarding the World Health Organization (WHO) to take action on pronto!
Also: The United States government (Office of Global Affairs) must officially demand evidence from the World Health Organization countering the WHO’s fraudulent claims regarding the purported adoption of the 2022 amendments to the International Health Regulations. Evidence of a properly conducted vote is requested.
What’s happening? The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) will lead a U.S. delegation to the 77th World Health Assembly very soon.
The HHS’ Office of Global Affairs is accepting written comments via email and is also holding a stakeholder “listening” session:
The “Stakeholder Listening Session” is designed to seek input to help the HHS Office of Global Affairs inform and prepare for U.S. Government engagement at the World Health Assembly, which is scheduled for May 27 to June 1, 2024.
RSVP: Persons seeking to participate in the listening session must register by Friday, April 26, 2024.
The listening session will be held Thursday, May 2, 2024, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. Eastern daylight time. This session is open to the public but requires RSVP to oga.rsvp1@hhs.gov by Friday, April 26, 2024.
.
Written comments are welcome and encouraged even if you are attending the listening session and should be emailed to OGA.RSVP1@HHS.gov with the subject line “Written Comment Re: Stakeholder Listening Session for WHA77 ” by Friday, May 3, 2023

Now, back to our article.
Here is new testimony concerning the Covid Vaccine Injured: Testimony before the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, March 21, 2024
But Big Pharma’s lobbyists are still busy working in every state and can easily prey upon the greedy lawmakers AND the governors who are willing to sell us out and implement bad health policies. The entire world just went through one of the greatest scams perpetrated upon humankind via Covid-19 in which we were violently locked down, threatened, and jabbed with vial substances resulting in dire consequences for our health, even death. The economic setback alone has been devastating in America!
A good healthcare system serves as security for its population.
Arkansans NEED our good Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to stay intact here in this state, not dismantled piece-by-piece by our governor!
Sadly, our health is at stake in Arkansas, and our healthcare system is in a tragic decline across the United States.
Looking at healthcare spending in the United States verses the outcome of our health, our country is ranking pretty low. Americans need to wake up because we do NOT have the best healthcare system in the world.
Here’s another source: Our country ranks number one in healthcare spending, but number thirty in health outcomes.
We truly appreciate that some countries emphasize preventative care, alternative medicine, and early intervention, instead of just focusing on treating illnesses once someone has become severe — sometimes too little, too late. Preventative and alternative measures should always be welcomed.
Below is information from the Arkansas Department of Health (ADH):
Compliance with Act 1653 of 2001
The “Arkansas Freedom of Information Act” (FOIA). Section 3 of Act 1653 requires each state agency, board and commission to prepare and make available certain information to the public, including the agency’s method of operations, records the agency maintains and certain regulations, rules of procedure and policies adopted by the agency. The required information for the ADH is on this website. Many of the records may not be available for public inspection under the FOIA because they are exempt from disclosure under that Act or other state or federal law.
- The Arkansas Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) allows the public (“citizens”) to inspect and receive copies of public records of governmental agencies unless the law makes an exception for them. The law also requires that most meetings of “governing bodies” be open to the public.
- Medical Records and Vital Records are not open for release under the FOIA. There are several other exemptions to the FOIA.
.
Here is the current policy from the Arkansas Department of Health (ADH) pdf.
We wanted to include other states, like Florida, for examples, too.
From Cornell Law School:
Sunshine laws are regulations requiring public disclosure of government agency meetings and records. Sunshine laws require specific businesses and government agencies to maintain transparency and disclose their activities to the public. The primary objective of these laws is to prevent fraud, corruption, inequality, and to maintain high ethical standards within such businesses and agencies…
The Freedom of Information Act is a classic example of a sunshine law. While most of these laws deal with economics or finance, they do extend to other areas as well. The medical sector is also required to comply with sunshine laws, where major corporate players in pharmaceutical companies, and manufacturers are required to disclose certain information which is a part of their regular reporting and operating procedure…
In addition to federal agencies, states also have their own sunshine laws that govern state agencies. The reach of states’ sunshine laws varies. Florida, for example, boasts particularly broad sunshine laws. The Florida Supreme Court has stated that all government authorities in Florida are subject to the requirements of the state’s sunshine laws unless specifically exempted. Furthermore, the state’s sunshine laws define agency broadly, and an agency includes any municipal corporation, political subdivision, and authority of any county.
Our state legislative sessions matter, as do the policies they implement, so please stay on top of this, in whatever state you reside now!
In closing, we hope we have adequately conveyed to you the desperate need for our for transparency in government. We have approached this from a medical perspective this time, but in general our right to freedom of information must be kept in order to have complete transparency in all areas of government. It becomes very dangerous whenever there is no accountability in government.
Remember, it’s our legal right to request information via FOIA! The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) is a law that provides the public the right to request access information from:
Let’s keep it! It will be dismantled quickly if we, the people, do not step up and get behind the FOIA petitions.
Please, once again, sign the petition that can be found at multiple newspaper locations around the state! See the list by county below.
And you may sign the petition and pick up blank petitions to help gather signatures at this law firm as well:
