Because I am selfish, and I realize we live on the front line of what may be the greatest, most glorious battle of this era: The Battle of California, the decades, long effort to destroy the most wonderful and most influential place on this planet.

Why Your Story Needs To Be Told

By Allan Stevo

The following is the October 28, 2023, introduction by Allan Stevo for California anti-lockdown activist Theresa Buccola at the biweekly pro-freedom event Menlo Forum in Menlo Park, California hosted by the excellent Robert Mish of Mish International, an area businessman and precious metals vendor. 

There are heroes who walk among us.

There is Johan Vandertuin who believes the police of San Benito County, California have no business fabricating charges against him because he dared to walk into a UPS Store in Hollister, California unmasked in December of 2022. And that the conservative District Attorney cooperating in this should either end the matter against Johan or resign in shame.

There are heroes who walk among us.

There are the parents of Autumn Schall who believe it is their complete and total right to decide what medicines their child is given or not given, no matter what Stanford Hospital had to say, no matter what CPS has to say, no matter what a California judge has to say.

There are heroes who walk among us.

There is Anh Colton, who believes it is her right, and your right to run for sheriff where you live, not just the privilege of those who have spent years being indoctrinated by the system. You may not agree with her, but that does not mean she should walk through the world without applause for that bravery. Nor does it mean she belongs in a jail cell.

There are heroes who walk among us.

There are pastors Gabriel Abdelaziz and Dorothy Abdelaziz, who never closed the doors of their church in Paso Robles, California.

There are others like that.

Why did they not close? Because it is their duty to not close and their right to not close.

There are even some elected officials, such as Dan Dow of San Luis Obispo County, who said in response to the public health orders to close churches that his county is henceforth a sanctuary county…for churches. That in his county, no church, no pastor will be prosecuted for refusing to shut their doors.

But there are thousands more, perhaps millions more — heroes in their own right in this state, who refuse to simply do as they are told. Who know their values are worth fighting for. Who perhaps even know California is worth fighting for.

There are young men like Teyo, 17 years old, whose last name I won’t mention. Who said one day, I will never wear a mask again, and because of that he was told by the school system, that he would not be able to be educated in this community – that was likely a frightening and uncertain situation for his parents and others who love him and wanted to see him succeed, but you know what…as scary as that might have been…the day he said, he would never wear a mask again, and the day he was suspended from school, which left no other option than to homeschool him, was probably one of the best things to have happened in his life.

These stories need to be told. For there are heroes who walk among us.
