Re: CBS Evening News Tonight!!!

[Guest guest]

Just got done watching this. Very good coverage IMHO. RFK Jr got alot

of info out there and Atkinson was very sympathetic to our side......

I loved the part where they cut off that witch from the CDC when she

tried to dismiss the link between thimerosal and autism.....

--Loved it!!!! And it is not going away...especially as Ms. Atkinson

said, " now that a Kennedy has taken up the cause! " Hope Mr. Fumento

choked on his tuna sandwich while watching it!!

[Guest guest]

Just wanted to add how nice it was to hear RFK,JR. say, " These parents

have been through hell " , as I don't hear too much empathy/compassion

for us, and personally, I think we all deserve lots of it.

And I loved how they kept showing the thimerosal bottle with the toxic

warning & skull and crossbones. I could hardly believe it--I thought

it was a great story.

Does anyone else notice a bit of easing up on the part of CDC

representatives? maybe it's wishful thinking but they seem to be

backing off a bit, I wonder if they're looking for a way out?

I just saw this on the internet. I contacted Barbara Boxer and Diane

Fienstien and asked then to become active. Lets keep the pressure on our

government officials. We may finally get some media attention.
