for all of you in Pennsylvania - Message from Senator Rick Santorum

[Guest guest]

From egroups

After inquiring about Senator Rick Santorum's stance on the Anthrax

Vaccine, I received this letter back from Mr. D. Aiello, Santorum 2000

Campaign Manager.

Rick Santorum is a US Senator ® Pennsylvania. He currently is a member of

the Senate Armed Services Committee, and is Chairman of the Air & Land Armed

Services Subcommittee.

It appears that Senator Santorum is pro-Anthrax vaccine, and every

registered voter living in Pennsylvania that is affiliated with the military,

should NOT vote for this man in the November election. Spread the word on

Santorum, please DO NOT re-elect this man, he is out of touch with the real

military issues.

If you would like to personally respond to the Senators stance on the

anthrax vaccine, write to his campaign manager D. Aiello at 436 South

Main Street, Pittsburgh, Pa. 15220

You can call there if you live in the Pittsburgh, Pa area at (412) 921-

8200

Or call toll free: 1-877-RICK 2000

Heres the response on the Anthrax vaccine:

June 20, 2000

Thank you for your interest in this matter. I can assure the anthrax

vaccine, as well as other veteran and military issues, are of paramount

importance to Senator Santorum.

As you know, anthrax is a serious infectious disease that takes several

forms. Almost all cases of inhalation anthrax, in which treatment was begun

after patients have exhibited symptoms, have resulted in death, regardless of

post-exposure treatment. The best treatment is to have immunity prior to

exposure through vaccinations, using an FDA-licensed vaccine. So, Senator

Santorum does support this measure as a way to protect Americans in an

increasingly dangerous and hostile world. Our armed forces are a target of

terrorists throughout the Middle East and elsewhere.

You may be interested to know that on April 27, 2000, the Centers for

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released the results of three separate

studies, the CDC declared that the vaccine resulted in no unexpected adverse

reactions. According to the CDC, a small percentage of service members did

complain of muscle or joint aches, headache or fatigue after being

vaccinated, but there have been no reported cases of long term adverse

reactions attributed to the vaccine itself. The Senator's chief concern is

the safety of our men and women who are in hostile environments in various

corners of the world.

Sincerely,

Aiello

Santorum 2000
