Re: Damn the ASA, Start writing the Senators (like now)

[Guest guest]

Forget the ASA. They want you to waste your time writing to them about tissue paper feeling. They know that if they can get you to spend time writing them you less likely to do the significant thing of alerting the rest of the Senate. This is their screw job.

URGENCY!

All parents of vaccine-injured kids need to be contacting their U.S. Senate offices starting today. Every Senator needs to hear from you. If enough of us write in and tell them what the HELP is doing with the combating autistics bill there's no way they'll be able to play dumb this time.

Do all three if you can. Phone call, E-mail, and fax.

Just keep it short and sweet by telling them Frist, Gregg and the rest of the Senate HELP committee are stripping thimerosal research off the CAA bill. Tell them you have an affected child or grandchild or are friend in the same manner and this bill is not right without thimerosal and vaccine research on it. Just be yourself and tell them not to support this bill until it's fixed.

A-CHAMP Statement Regarding the Combating Autism Act and the Potential Omission of the Vaccine Research Provision

STATEMENT FROM A-CHAMP REGARDING THE COMBATING AUTISM ACTIn November 2005 A-CHAMP made a commitment to many autism organizations, the community and our children to support the consensus revision version of the Combating Autism Act. see: http://www.a-champ.org/combatingautismactrevisednew.html The consensus revision bill contains a modest provision for vaccine, vaccine component and vaccine preservative research. This is the bill A-CHAMP supports and we have worked hard to advocate for the revised bill. We have kept and will continue to keep our promise to the community.If other organizations choose to break the consensus and support legislation that drops the vaccine research provision their action will be evident to the community.If the vaccine language is dropped from the final bill that is introduced in the Senate or House, A-CHAMP will advocate for language to be incorporated into the legislative history that will support vaccine research. But make no mistake: any communication to the Senate that suggests it is acceptable to drop the vaccine research language is a breach of the promise that the organizations made to each other when they joined the consensus.Everyone compromised on the consensus language. A-CHAMP does not view every provision in the consensus revision bill favorably but there is enough in the revised bill to make the entire package worthwhile.Some organizations have criticized A-CHAMP for taking a strong position on the vaccine language, claiming that a bill containing the vaccine research language will not pass the Senate, and to vigorously support a bill with the vaccine research language will kill the bill. A-CHAMP regards that criticism as misguided. Pressure must be brought to bear for what we want. If the "fix is in" in the HELP committee and the vaccine research language is dropped we must nevertheless stand up for what we want and what our children need. There is no good reason to omit vaccine research from the bill - it is but a small part of the revised bill. If we fail to push for the vaccine research provision those in the Senate who have yielded to pharmaceutical and AAP lobbyists will think that our community has no backbone, and will always sell out our kids for political expediency. The suggestion that continued advocacy for the vaccine research language jeopardizes the bill is wrong, and is a distortion of the legislative process that has occurred. Communications that signal the Senate that it is acceptable to disregard our consensus represents unprincipled posturing by persons or organizations that seek to curry favor with politicians, at the expense of our children.There is never sufficient justification for actions that place political positioning and expediency over efforts that make our community unified and strong. If our community were sufficiently unified and strong we could tell the Senate: NO!, that is not what we wanted, and we would be able to come back to the Senate and win a stronger bill. Unfortunately, the day for our community's unity and strength is yet to be realized.A-CHAMP has never opposed the Combating Autism Act but we cannot endorse the omission of vaccine research language from the final bill. We will continue to advocate strongly for research in the one area of autism research that has been neglected: research into vaccines, vaccine components and vaccine preservatives. We will continue our advocacy in other areas that benefit our children, such as health insurance coverage, education and funding for lifetime care.If other autism groups break their promise to the consensus for the sake of political expediency that is their choice. A-CHAMP will maintain its consistent position, one that is based on principle, a commitment to our community and, most importantly, a commitment to our children.Thank you. J.

Tomorrow letters never get written.

All 100 Senators e-mail links and phone numbers are listed right here:

Be sure not to forget to mention that this is personal and our children need vaccine and thimerosal research.

Having been the V.P. of an ASA Chapter, I am somewhat familiar with

how the ASA sees things so I would agree with you .

However, the fact that anyone would oppose RESEARCH into the

possible CAUSES of a long-term, life-altering disability with

enormous future costs on society should be a big huge red flag to

all affected. If I were still involved with my local chapter and

didn't know anything about vaccines & thimerosal I would be highly

suspicious of anyone objecting to such research. It just seems

obvious.

This is a forgetful statement. Forgetful of the fact that many of these NPO sharks are well adapted in the art of being political chameleons. They knew quite well that to achieve their goal of pay dirt (free money) they had to become the parent of a vaccine-injured child to win the confidence of a parent of a vaccine-injured child. Sort of like when he was in Berlin, J.F. Kennedy told the rulers of the free world he was one doughnut or something.

I guess with Grossman there's always a chance the author's private thimerosal briefing of the head NPO shark at ASA wore off (Quote courtesy of the Autism Diva, BTW) :

As for ASA's position on mercury and autism, Grossman made it clear that ASA supports greater funding for research into a connection, specifically clinically-based research rather than epidemiological. "ASA also believes that those injured by vaccines must be fairly compensated and receive appropriate services," he said. "We support legislation that removes thimerosal from vaccines, and were the first to support Rep. Weldon's bill calling for its removal."

My only logical guess is when they sensed that the autism treatment community would never agree to a bill which excluded vaccine and thimerosal research they shifted gears. In a glaringly obvious manner many of the NPO sharks stepped forward one after another to confess that their child was autistic as a result of his or her childhood vaccinations. Let's not forget the head of ASA appeared on that old the McLaughlin Report TV show claiming just that.

http://www.mclaughlin.com/library/moo_transcript.asp?id=170

And there is Congressman Weld[on] of Florida, who is a doctor, and he says that he believes in vaccines. He's always been a believer in vaccines. And I think his conviction is that the thimerosal scare is an unjustified scare, but he says it should still be examined. Science should still do its work, correct?

MR. GROSSMAN: That's absolutely correct. This issue about mercury and its effect -- its environmental effect as related to autism is not a dead issue and it must be kept alive, because we just don't have the answers.

Thimerosal is a mercury additive that was --

MR. MCLAUGHLIN: Who makes it? Is that a generic term, thimerosal? MR. GROSSMAN: I believe so. It's made by a number of the manufacturers of these vaccines. And it's -- many people believe that it's that additive, that mercury that was used is what created the brain damage. Now, Representative Weldon's legislation calls for the removal of thimerosal -- MR. MCLAUGHLIN: Weldon? MR. GROSSMAN: Weldon, from Florida. And he calls for the removal of mercury and thimerosal, primarily thimerosal, from all vaccines. And that's something that, to me, makes so much sense. Why would you want to put a known neurotoxin into somebody's blood stream?

Re: Damn the ASA, Start writing the Senators (like now)

Hi ,I know some will disagree, but I think those like ASA who do not fight to make the vaccine language in the bill as strong as possible are wrong about the cause of the autism epidemic, more than they are "selling out" children.> >>
