Another Round won! NY Thimerosal bill passes Assembly Health Committee

[Guest guest]

Hey Guys we won another round!

Assemblymember Harvey Weisenberg's A 5543 which would limit thimerosal in vaccines for kids under three and pregnant women, passed the NY Assembly health committee with the support of committee Chairman Gottfried! The bill will have to go to the Codes committee, however, we were sponsored by the Codes Committee Chair ph Lentol so I think things should go well there. I also believe we will do well on the Assembly floor.

Now we need to focus on the Senate health committee, where committee Chair Kemp Hannon is not inclined to support our bill.

Here's what you can do:

Call your NY State senator and ask them in a polite and respectful way to work to pass

S 2707, State Senator Dean Skelos's bill to limit mercury in vaccines.

And contact Senator Hannon and ask him in a polite and respectful way to support the bill and send it to the floor where I believe the Senate as a whole will support it.

Here's Senator Hannon's contact info:
