American Mama Bears-The Mother’s Day Hot List 2022

Inaugural Edition-Part 2

Because there are just so many amazing women, and our email server won’t let me include you all in one shot, here is Part 2! I’ll include the original introduction here for those who may have missed the first section.

The coalition of American Mama Bears of 2022 has truly been one of the few rays of sunshine out of the pandemic storm. Where the leftists in America continue to erode the identity and roles of women, our individual advocacy has merged us into a force for the protection of the rights and freedoms promised in our Constitution, given to us by our Creator.

Some of us are moms, some of us are not yet moms, or were never able to have our own children. We are white, black, brown, straight, gay, married, divorced, young, old, and everything in between.

Our differences don’t divide us. We are united by our mission to preserve the innocence of childhood and our unshakable commitment to be vigilant defenders of freedom from government overreach.

Among the thousands of women I see speaking out, creating advocacy organizations, running for office, hosting seminars, and raising future freedom-loving children, here are just a sample of the courageous and beautiful American Mama Bears of 2022.

Nik & I wish you all the best Mother’s Day weekend and keep up the inspiring work!

Courtney Bracken, Sewell, NJ-Admin of South Jersey Military Mamas SJMM

“My why… 

Before the Covid lockdowns I am embarrassed to say I had never attended a BOE meeting. After learning more information about the virus, I knew something was not right and started to be vocal about the restrictions on our children. It has since transformed into an absolute passion and purpose for me. While my oldest boys are done with the public school system, I still advocate for my youngest Aiden, my grandson Leo and of course for all of the children in NJ.”

Susan Conville, Cinnaminson, NJ-Mama Bear Advocate

“My WHY is love and if I don't stand up for My children, who will?

God chose me to be their mom and to protect his children!! As God is my protector, because I am a child of the most high God.”

Melanie Dragone, MSW Board Member of NJPHIPAC & Innovative Parenting NJ

“My advocacy work over the past decade is driven by my trio, they are my why! They are always watching me work diligently to protect them and their health freedoms. I want them to always be able to say, my Mom was on the front lines protecting & preserving all of my rights.”

Jill Picklo, Deptford, NJ-Mama Bear, Veteran, Member of the Child Advocate Coalition

“My name is Jill, and I am a New Jersey resident. My husband Christopher is an Army Veteran and I am an Air Force veteran. We have one beautiful daughter, Adriana. 

Adriana is my entire world and I want nothing more than to protect her and fight for her freedom. I am disgusted by what NJ wants to teach her in school and the abuse the schools want to burden our children with. From masks, vaccine mandates, covid testing and now pushing their sexual agenda on us. 

I used to be willing to die for our country. But I've learned that this country doesn't care about us. They're out to get my child and strip away our rights. 

I support the Child Advocate Coalition and I am doing all I can to protect my little girl. 

She is not the government’s science experiment or slave.”

Heather Loffredo, Garwood, NJ-Mama Bear & Councilwoman

“A few years ago I took a step back from my corporate job to concentrate on being the best I could be for my young family. We filled their days with music, laughter, making memories, fun trips and fantastic holidays. But that world was stripped from them in 2020 - ripped out of schools, missed graduations, social distancing, lack of emotion hidden behind masks. I woke up to this insanity early into the pandemic. 

I want a normal life for my children- what we had when we grew up. Over the last few years, I’ve joined many local groups, attended protests, created a parent advocacy group for our Borough and ran and won for Boro Council. 

We homeschooled last year, however this next year I plan to be on the front lines if that means showing up to every BOE meeting and working tirelessly till we stop this endless indoctrination against our children. Let the kids be kids. 

What’s more important then preserving the innocence of children?”

Angelique Volpe, Colts Neck, NJ-Mama Bear & Admin of Colts Neck Fresh Faced Schools

“My name is Angelique. I have a husband and a beautiful 10 year old daughter. I’ve always been strong willed and never had an issue speaking out on things that matter to me. I had a difficult time having my daughter as many do. Finally when God blessed me with her I knew I only had one chance to get it right. That’s what has brought me to this point in life. The point where I have become my daughter’s advocate.  

Seeing what’s been happening to our country and our schools infuriates my husband and I.  

We refuse to quietly sit back while my kids rights (our rights) are slowing being taken away. We will Not be forced to accept things that we know are wrong and are not in my child’s best interest.  As long as I breathe I will be her voice and help her to make her own voice heard when the time comes . Nobody will ever convince me that what’s happening in our society is justified and acceptable.

Janice Countess, Medford, NJ, Empress Mama Bear & Peer Mediation Founder

“I implemented the Peer Mediation Programs by first introducing it to their administration, then staff, and students.

If we expect the children to get along we have to teach them, plus set a great example. I was told at the time I need to first start with Congress. LOL”

Happy Mother’s Day, Mama Bears!
