I can understand your lack of enthusiasm, but I think the pending

changes in the house should not be dismissed as a matter of

indifference to our community.

We have got exactly nothing and gone absolutely nowhere with the GOP

in power in DC. We will have a window of opportunity that we have to

seize.

Frist will be gone. Barton will no longer be a committee chair.

Kennedy will be chair of the health committee, these will be huge

changes. We need to make sure that the new power holders hear from

us. You know damn well they will be hearing form pharma and the AAP,

and they will be quite aware that pharma and the AAP given vastly

more money to the GOP than the Dems. They will not be inclined to do

them a whole lot of favors.

We have a chance to move our agenda forward and we need to get ready

to do that.

You should see my car now- i've added 3 political bumper stickers

and my car looks like it belongs to a 16 year old. I don't care.

Gotta do everything I can. I even had my congressman put HIS sticker on my car. Of course he left some air pockets and it's not perfectly centered-

but he did his best.

While I don't pressume to speak for everyone, I believe most of us

are fed up with the two party system. IT is naive to think that when

the power changes hands they will admit Mercury was the main cause

of autism and hold the vaccine companies responsible.

It would be a lot easier if most of the press were not bought off or

threatened to keep quiet, because the only way to justice is to

change public opinion. It is going to happen, it is happening now. I

was encouraged last month when my son's psychiatrist told us in

confidence he belives mercury to be the main cause of autism, but

for some reason he said it only briefly and in hushed tones.

I thought about taking the route of contacting my Representative,

but when I did a little research and saw that a drug company was his

biggest campaign contributer, I figured it was a waste of time. If I

did not have a family to support or a mortgage to pay, I would

bullhorn congress, organize protests, do anything I could to get

someone to pay attention. I think The majority of people who have

children with autism and adhd are like me, they want satisfaction

and justice, but they are also caught in this trap. If we could

reach this silent majority and enpower them, the poloticians, press,

and drug companies would no longer be able to ignore us.

Sounds like your Congressman could use some OT.

" lack of enthusiam " isn't really a characteristic I associate with

you .

I was thinking of a " you " out here that might be fed up with

politics.

Hi Ed,

I know what you are saying. We all have great limitations place on

us with family, job and caring for chromnically sick kids. But if we

aren't in the political game fighting we aren't going to get

anywhere.

At ACHAMP we have put together a program of Congressional District

Leaders. Parents like us, who will be our communities' lobbyist to

their own Member of Congress, you can't change the world by yourself

but you can make sure your member of Congress and their staff hear

from us loud and clear what we need them to do. We are trying to

channel the frustaration you and I and many others feel into a

constructive channel to achieve political change.

We already ahve about 200 district leaders signed up and we are

working on getting every Congressional candidate in the country to

answer our questionnaire on autism related issues. And we sure could

use your help.

Please email me and consider joining our team.

Things can and do change, Let's not knock things before they have a chance to happen. I have to remind myself of that, everytime I think about the new parttime job my son lined up for himself last week. My son is basically working for "peanuts", but in his mind, it is a big deal, since he scored that job on his own without anyone else's help. Aasa Gilmore <yogilmore@...> wrote: Watch out!

The corruption goes beyond the mercury issue. I think the internet

will foster solutions. It will bring more remote, democratic

monitoring of the political process. We need virtual freedom of

information access to the government. More sunlight laws. Instant

reporting of who gives what monies to whom. . . or you could just make

me ruling king. I would be a good king, I promise, after I take care

of me and mine, of course. (I'm now taking applications for

handmaidens). Any friends reading this should send in their list of

who they want put to death.

If we act very earnest and ask nicely, they will come to like us and

will do favors for us, right? Wouldn't that be enough?

The most powerful act in all this is the ability to walk away.

Why do you think that they mandate this crap?

Because they're out of business without that.

You should guilt-trip Kennedy.

He sponsored the original mandatory immunization act of 1993 in the Senate.
