Brad is a business owner and regenerative farmer in Kentucky. He's also loving husband and devoted father, and he's running for the US Senate against one of the worst authoritarians in the country, Mitch McConnell.
Mitch is one of the most powerful people in DC, and is emblematic of the big government cronyism that has done so much damage to everyday Americans.
In order to qualify to debate Mitch & show the American people Libertarian solutions to bad big-government Republicrat policies, Brad needs to raise a total of $100k by the end of June. He's already raised $80k, so he's just $20k away from getting on the debate stage!
I know that if Brad can get on that stage, he'll win this race. Kentuckians are sick and tired of big gov't, & its no-knock raid murders, infringements on their rights to protest, & much more. There's a clear, limited-gov't alternative to Mitt, they'll vote for Brad in droves!
This is a race for the US Senate, which affects all Americans, and Mitch has worked hand in hand with Republican and Democrat Presidents to erode the rights and freedoms of the American people for far too long.
I am asking you to go to the link below and donate what you can, and to share this post, so we can Ditch Mitch and Add Brad to the US Senate!
Meet the Hernandez family. That's Matt and Tuckey smiling with their beautiful young daughters.
Over the past few months, the Georgia state government has ripped this family apart, because one of their daughters has a medical condition that the court refuses to acknowledge.
This all started when Matt and Tuckey noticed some swelling in the lower legs of Emma, their infant daughter.
They took her to a pediatrician, who did some bloodwork and referred them to the ER. After an x-ray of her legs, the hospital's Child Abuse Physician reported possible child abuse, despite the fact that the bloodwork results indicate a genetic disorder as the reason for her injuries.
@GADFCS authorities seized Emma and placed her with her Aunt and Uncle.
Two weeks later, a case worker visited the Hernandez home and determined that their older daughter, Arya, is obviously happy and well cared for.
The next day, Tuckey was arrested for battery and cruelty to children.
Matt is not allowed to communicate with Tuckey, and Tuckey is not allowed to communicate with Matt or her daughters.
While in the Aunt and Uncle's care, Emma developed a rash on her feet.
The state took Emma from them and sent her to the hospital, where she was put on a feeding tube and given other treatments without any of the family's knowledge or consent.
Emma and Arya were then placed with a foster parent.
At their first visitation, Matt noted that both Emma and Arya had signs of neglect, including cold, mottled skin and discoloration on one of Emma's legs.
The foster parent dismissed his concerns, and DFCS had no interest in hearing them either.
After months of fighting to get copies of Emma's medical records, including from when he first took her to the ER, DFCS finally gave them to him.
Two months later at their first court hearing, medical experts testified that Emma has either neonatal rickets or osteogenesis imperfecta, both of which are medical disorders which cause the types of injuries she has, and that there is no sign of physical abuse.
The judge refused to admit their testimony, choosing instead to rely on the hospital's Child Abuse Physician, who brought no paperwork and did not appear to understand these disorders.
While this hearing is going on, Emma and Arya are transported to a visitation center to meet with Matt. But Matt's in court, and obviously couldn't be in two places at once. The state either messed up their visitation schedule, or intentionally scheduled it so he wouldn't be there. Arya was devastated.
With each visit, Matt sees Arya become more and more withdrawn and depressed, and Emma become more injured and sickly.
During one of the visits, when the case worker came into the room, Arya got scared and ran behind Matt. The caseworker accuses Arya of being racist, and smiles throughout the interaction, clearly enjoying the fear she's causing.
And just last week, Matt found out that his visitations are being cut in half, and they are moving Emma and Arya to a new foster family, instead of back to their Aunt and Uncle.
This case was brought to our attention by the Williams family, who was in temporary custody of Emma and Arya when their foster mother went on vacation. After seeing how much these girls want to go home, the Williams began to investigate, and discovered the horrific tragedy that the state is putting the Hernandez family through.
Despite their own policies, and despite the fact that the caseworker's report states that reunification is the goal of this case, the state of Georgia has refused to acknowledge Emma's medical condition, choosing instead to assume that she's being abused, and continues to prosecute Tuckey and persecute the entire family.
We hoped that these officials would do the right thing, but they seem to be hell-bent on destroying the Hernandez family.
We are going to reunite this family, and here's how you can help:
Email the officials I've listed in the next post in this thread, and tell them to acknowledge Emma's condition, return Emma and Arya to their parents, and drop all charges. And be RESPECTFUL, don't give these people a chance to act like the victims here. You know how much government officials love to make it about them, don't give them that opportunity.
And be sure to repost this, so as many people as possible can help us reunite the Hernandez family in time for the holidays.
OK, here are the officials involved and their emails. Again, be respectful. Don't give them a chance to pretend to be the victims:

Every day, @YATPOfficial fights for people like the Hernandez family to get the respect they deserve.
A police officer lied to Porter and told him he put someone in a hospital, and he killed himself.
Back in May of 2018, Porter got into a minor fender bender with another vehicle. No one was hurt.
Whether he didn't know what happened, or he was scared, for whatever reason he drove away.
Officer Matthew Kerby of the @SeattlePD was tasked with finding Porter.
In the body cam footage of the incident, Kerby says he's going to lie to find him. "It's a lie, but it's fun" he says.
Kerby tells Porter's friend that Porter "was involved in a hit-and-run earlier and left a woman in critical condition" and that "she might not survive."
CPS workers took their newborn child, and put her in foster care, where her health is declining, because they used a midwife's services instead of a pediatrician's.
Temecia gave birth to their third child, Mila, at home. They used the services of Dr. Edinbyrd, a certified midwife.
After Mila was born, Rodney and Temecia took her to a pediatrician for a newborn checkup.
The pediatrician told them that Mila had some jaundice, and recommended treatment.
Rodney and Temecia had their midwife, Dr. Edinbyrd, performed the treatment.
Because they didn't use the pediatrician's services, the pediatrician contacted CPS.
In response to COVID, governors across the country acted under the direct guidance of federal health agencies, and made it a crime to work, visit loved ones, or even go outside at certain times.
Schools, churches, and small businesses were ordered shut down, and anyone who didn't comply was arrested.
We saw horrifying increase in suicides, drug abuse, joblessness, homeless, childhood learning delays, and much more.
Shut-down orders led to supply breakdowns, and barren store shelves.
