Bring a Ban to Your State
Three states have already banned geoengineering and weather modification. They followed the same pattern. Here's exactly how they did it — and how you can do it in yours.

25-6
Senate
$10K/day (misdemeanor)
11 weeks
Florida
2025
82-28
House
28-9
Senate
$100K + 5 years (felony)
7 months
Louisiana
2025
58-33

The Pattern
Every successful ban followed the same five-phase sequence. The details varied state to state, but the structure didn't. This is the playbook.
Frame It Right
This is the single most important decision. Every bill that passed kept “chemtrails” out of the bill text. Every bill that got mocked led with conspiracy language.
What worked
- “Protecting our air, water, and soil”
- “State sovereignty / Tenth Amendment”
- “Precautionary — drive a stake in the ground”
- “The government's own documents say they're planning this”
- “Informed consent — no one asked us”
What didn't
- “Chemtrails are real”
- “They're spraying us”
- Leading with photos of contrails
- Unverifiable personal claims
- Angry accusations without citations
The kill shot: The White House's own document
In June 2023, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy published a congressionally mandated research plan for Solar Radiation Modification. This was cited in every successful state. It forces opponents into a corner — they can't dismiss the premise when the federal government itself published a plan.
Your one-sentence pitch (use this everywhere)
“The federal government published a plan to modify our atmosphere. Three states have already banned it. [Your state] has zero protections. This bill fixes that.”
Find Your Sponsor
The sponsor's background matters enormously. All three successful bills had sponsors with science, military, or business credentials — not culture warriors.
| State | Sponsor | Why they worked |
|---|---|---|
| Tennessee | Rep. Monty Fritts | Chemistry degree + nuclear industry. Could speak credibly about chemical exposure. |
| Florida | Sen. Ileana Garcia | Former DHS deputy press secretary. Framed it as protecting freedom, not conspiracy. |
| Louisiana | Sen. “Big Mike” Fesi | Oil & gas businessman. Understood regulatory gaps. No-nonsense credibility. |
What to look for
- Science, military, agriculture, or business background
- Already has credibility with the caucus on other issues
- Sits on or chairs the committee the bill will go through (Agriculture or Environment)
- Willing to stay disciplined on framing — no freelancing into conspiracy territory
How to approach a legislator
“Senator/Representative, I've been studying what Tennessee, Florida, and Louisiana have done. The federal government published a research plan for atmospheric modification. Three states have already banned it. [Your state] has zero protections. I'd like to show you what a bill looks like.”
Bring: a printed copy of the White House OSTP report, a one-page summary of TN/FL/LA laws, and the model legislation from Zero Geoengineering.
Build the Pressure Campaign
This is where bills live or die. Every successful ban had massive constituent contact campaigns that made it politically impossible to vote no.
Step 1: Get the infrastructure
Contact Stand for Health Freedom and ask them to set up an action alert for your state. Their platform auto-routes emails and calls to the correct legislators. This is the tool that powered Florida's 100,000 emails. You don't have to build this yourself.
Step 2: Tap existing networks
Tennessee's organizers explicitly said they repurposed their COVID-era medical freedom networks. Same people, same relationships, same tactics, new issue. Look for: health freedom groups, liberty groups, farm organizations, church networks, conservative grassroots orgs in your state.
Step 3: Bring credentialed witnesses
Committee testimony wins votes. All three states brought physicians, licensed healthcare providers, or scientists. Dr. Denise Sibley (internal medicine) testified in both Tennessee chambers. Marla Maples testified in Florida. Find a doctor, scientist, or veteran in your state willing to testify.
Navigate the Legislature
Speed matters. Tennessee went from filing to the governor's signature in 11 weeks. The faster the bill moves, the less time opposition has to organize.
The asymmetric political cost
In a red state, voting YES costs nothing — it bans something that “isn't happening anyway.” Voting NO means appearing to support the federal government's right to spray chemicals on your constituents. No legislator wants that attack ad. Tennessee's own Fiscal Review Committee said the bill had “no significant impact” — and it still passed 70-22.
Handling mockery on the floor
Expect it. In Tennessee, a Democrat attached a satirical “Sasquatch protection” amendment. It failed 18-71 and the bill passed immediately after. In Florida, a legislator said “go outside and touch some grass.” The bill passed 82-28. Mockery energizes your supporters and makes opponents look dismissive. Don't engage with it.
Sponsor's talking points
- “If this isn't happening, the bill costs nothing. If it is, we're protected.”
- “Three states have already done this. We're not the first, and we won't be the last.”
- “The federal government's own report says they're researching this. We're saying not here.”
Pro move: The two-bill strategy
Louisiana filed two bills — a broad one with a $200K fine (HB 608) and a narrower one (SB 46). The aggressive bill absorbed all the criticism and failed 21-72, making the narrower bill look moderate by comparison. It passed 58-33. If you think your bill might face resistance, file a bigger version alongside it.
Win the Media Game
Mainstream media will ridicule your bill. This is counterintuitive, but it actually helps.
Why ridicule helps
- Gives the bill enormous visibility — free publicity
- Activates the conservative base (distrust of mainstream media)
- Creates a culture-war dynamic where voting no means siding with the media
- NBC, Washington Post, and PolitiFact all ran critical stories about Tennessee's bill. It passed 70-22.
What to do
- Don't seek mainstream media approval. You won't get it.
- Cultivate conservative media, local talk radio, and alternative outlets
- Have the sponsor give clean, quotable statements focused on environmental protection and sovereignty
- Share ALL coverage on social media — even critical coverage drives engagement
What the laws actually do
Key decisions each state made differently. Use this to decide what's right for your bill.
| Tennessee | Florida | Louisiana | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Penalty | $10K/day misdemeanor | $100K + 5 yrs felony | Env. enforcement |
| Cloud seeding exempted? | No | No (repealed permits) | Yes (ag under 1,000 ft) |
| Citizen reporting | No | Yes (DEP + airports) | Yes (DEQ → Air Guard) |
| Constitutional basis | 10th Amendment | State sovereignty | Environmental protection |
| Filing to signing | ~11 weeks | ~7 months | ~10 weeks |
Your Checklist
Work through this in order. Each step builds on the last.
6-9 months before session
- Get model legislation from Zero Geoengineering
- Identify your sponsor — science/military/ag/business credentials
- Map your committee pathway (Agriculture or Public Health)
- Contact Stand for Health Freedom to set up an action alert
- Build your coalition — medical freedom groups, farm orgs, liberty groups, church networks
- Research your state's regulatory vacuum (“there's nothing protecting us” is powerful)
3-6 months before session
- Draft the bill with your sponsor's legislative counsel
- Decide scope: ban everything or carve out ag exemptions?
- Build your witness list for committee testimony
- Pre-file the bill if your state allows it
- Begin the email/contact campaign to committee members
During session
- Flood committee members with constituent emails (target: thousands)
- Pack the committee hearing with supporters
- Coordinate testimony — White House OSTP report, NOAA data, regulatory gap, informed consent
- Don't engage with mockery — let it energize your supporters
- Move fast — speed prevents opposition from organizing
