(DCNF)—One month before the midterms more than 100 candidates running for public office across the country have pledged their commitment to remove the COVID-19 vaccines from the market.
Americans for Health Freedom host the pledge on its website, inviting public officials including candidates, elected officials and physicians to sign. According to a list on AHF’s website, 169 elected officials, 170 candidates, and 129 physicians/scientists have signed the pledge as of Oct. 1.
However, AHF founder Dr. Mary Talley Bowden, posted an update to X on Tuesday stating that a total of 178 candidates in midterm races had signed.
“I pledge to call for the COVID shots to be pulled off the market,” the one sentence pledge on AHF’s website reads.
“The COVID shots are not safe and not effective. We ask the people we elect to represent and protect us to take a stand and call for these dangerous modified mRNA products to be pulled off the market,” the text above the pledge states.
The website indicates that signers “are published by name so that constituents, reporters, and colleagues can verify the commitment rather than take it on faith.”
A notable signatory to the pledge is Republican Iowa gubernatorial nominee Zach Lahn, who is endorsed by MAHA Action and has made his support for the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement an integral part of his campaign.
Outgoing Republican Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie, who lost his primary race, as well as former Republican Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, also signed the pledge — as did a trio of Republican nominees for safe House seats in Texas: Steve Toth, Jace Yarbrough and Jon Bonck. Laurie Buckhout, who is running for a Democratic-held North Carolina U.S. House seat President Donald Trump won by double digits, signed the pledge as well.
A 12 Point “Physician’s Declaration” is also part of the pledge, signed by an international alliance of over 17,000 physicians and medical scientists.
“We declare, and the data confirms that COVID-19 experimental genetic therapy injections must end. All COVID-19 and other modified mRNA ‘vaccines’ must be immediately discontinued. We demand that Covid-19 vaccines be removed from the pediatric vaccine schedule,” the first point of the declaration reads.
AHF previously called for the Trump administration to terminate mRNA injections.
On Sept. 18, AHF issued an open letter to be sent to Trump and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. calling for the removal of the mRNA platform from America’s health and medical landscape. The letter is active and accepting signatures, with 1,103 listed signatories at the time of publication.
“As influential leaders within the MAHA and health freedom movements, we are writing to object to policies under your oversight related to the mRNA platform, and to call you to act on our policy goals,” an executive summary of the letter reads. “If you continue to ignore our central issue of removing the mRNA platform, the MAHA and health freedom movements will withdraw their support of you, and you will face the political consequences.”
AHF’s letter comes after the Trump administration has appeared to have pivoted away from removing the COVID vaccine and holding large pharmaceutical companies accountable.
In May, the Daily Caller News Foundation first reported that a poll Trump’s pollster conducted in October 2025 found that 73% of voters expressed concerns with childhood vaccine mandates. However, the poll was never released and the firm that conducted it, Fabrizio Lee, did not respond to multiple requests for comment.

Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
