Action Needed Immediately! Please Forward...

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Senate Bill 3 will be the largest gift the pharmaceutical companies have ever

received.at the expense of the vaccine-injured and other Americans that have

reacted poorly to an FDA-approved drug or device. HELP.phone and fax the

Senators on the Finance Committee below. Act now before S3 goes to the floor of

the Senate!

Forward this email to everyone you know. We all must be a part of a huge effort

to stop S3 or we are going to lose. The pharmaceutical industry has millions of

dollars, thousands of lobbyists and some lawmakers in DC on their side.but we

have the truth.

The troubling provisions include:

a.. overriding already passed state legislation to ban thimerosal (mercury)

from vaccines and prohibit similar bans in other states.

b.. restriction of informed consent regarding toxic components of FDA-approved

drugs and vaccines,.

c.. providing drug and vaccine makers with unprecedented liability protection

against civil actions involving FDA-approved products.

d.. forcing families into federal court for vaccine-related damages outside

the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program usurping states' rights.

e.. establishment of a seven-member " Commission " to regulate the vaccine

industry allowing drug manufacturers to regulate themselves at the expense of

consumer safety.

f.. bestowing significant tax credits upon pharmaceutical companies for

purchase and/or refurbishment of manufacturing facilities.

g.. extension of patents on existing drugs, preventing generic drugs from

entering the market. This alone will give billions to the industry each year.

We urge you to reject this pharmaceutical wish-list. It is an embarrassment

that such overt gifts to this industry, at the expense of consumer safety and

civil rights, are even being discussed among the policy makers of this country.

Tell them SAY NO to S3!
