That's GOOD news, but I still find it amazing that Frist gets away with what he does! I am hoping that saner minds will prevail, and I am totally with you on this issue.

Thanks for asking those questions,

Jane; I would like that information as well.

MA residents who want to show support

for Sen, Kennedy, and also learn more about the Mercury Free Vaccine Coalition of

MA, please e-mail me. The MFVC

was instrumental in providing evidence and

documentation to Rep.Brad Hill, and asking for him to introduce legislation in

MA to ban thimerosal form vaccines.

Rep, Hill did follow through, and we

have had our first hearing on HB 3836, to ban Hg from vaccines. The Expert

Panel of the MFVC, which testified at the hearing before the Joint Committee on

Public Health on Dec. 14th.,consists of Dr. Deth, Dr.

Ayoub, Mark Blaxill, Jerry Silbert, with consulting support form Dr. Boyd Haley

Dr. Ed Yazbak and Special Needs Attorney Vanda Marie Khadem..

We would encourage all MA residents to

become involved and learn more of what can be done on the grassroots level to

promote the passage of this legislation.

Please contact me for more information.

Thanks so much, Suzanne Messina, Director, MFVC; REAACH

But there are renegade republicans like Snowe, Chafee and McCain, who will probably go along with the Democrats. And other Republicans who won't want to have been associated with this, including the republican whose staffer has been talking to the press about his outrage over the entire episode.

This is GREAT news and we have it in our power to make it happen.

All the best,

Sandy
