Re: Doing Something -- quirky, $2.8 billion

[Guest guest]

Hi! I'm offended by all of this! by Quirky to label and throw away hope

for kids who can't read facial expressions, hate the feel of wind or sand, can't

make friends...

by $2.8 billion over 2 decades to delay help for mercury poisoned kids. by

CDC, Frist, FDA, Bush and by all other greed inspired people who stand by

watching our kids getting poisoned -- and do nothing - or block answers and

help.

HELL YES, I'M MAD. Let's do something. Let's send 10 copies of Dr.

Cave's " What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About CHILDREN'S VACCINES "

along

with some angry Mom's to every Senator's office in Washington. Let's have a

Million People Against Mercury Vaccine Poisoning March. Let's do Billboards.

Go MOM'S AGAINST MERCURY!!! Let's DO something!!!!!

Let's DO something!!

I do think we need to take some kind of action. A march or protest would be

good - but not to just raise Autism Awareness - really no one probably cares -

because they're proving that all the time.

Legal action against AAP, sit-ins at AAP, constant marches against mandated

vaccines, getting lots of media attention about the research that has been done

that proves a link between vaccines and injuries, and demands that mandates

be repealed.

Tami,

Are you the Tami who's in Rotterdam, NY? If so, let's DEFINITELY get

together and do something here at the State Legislature. And

billboards. I have my eye on one at the intersection of I90 and I787

(cost=$15,000).

There has to be a way!!

Yes. Let's do something. Someone posted yesterday who emphasized that we take

this " off-list " . We probably should, because the pharm people are NO DOUBT on

this list, watching us.

Maybe it's time we posted some phone numbers and started calling and meetings in

every city.

Do you know where I can get a copy of the Iowa bill? I really want

to do this in NY and live in a town right next to our capital!!

There IS a reason why I'm here, after all!
