Guest guest Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Update on today's TN vaccine Bill HB 956:�� April 25, 2006 'Safe Vaccines for Tennessee's Child Act' Sponsor, Rep. Lynn, made a clear presentation with irrefutable scientific documentation that thimerosal (mercury) IS poison & SHOULD BE outlawed in vaccines in TN (as it has now been banned in CA, NY, DE, IL, IO, MO, & NJ). She then acknowledged that she KNEW the bill could NOT be passed in TN this year and WITHDREW it. Parents were in disbelief & shock. Please let any media contacts know TODAY (front page news) that 'The TN Dept. of Health & St. Jude Childrens' Research Hospital can quit worrying about the 'SAFE VACCINES IN TN� BILL' (which they lobbied AGAINST--although they aren't supposed to lobby if they receive federal monies--according to the CDC site at: http://www.cdc.gov/od/pgo/funding/Addtl_Reqmnts.htm#ar12 (AR-12 on pages 5 & 6--if you want to print out a copy) But they did. http://www.debityree.com/stjudememotonaifeh.pdf Also, this was a serious conflict-of-interest for TN House Speaker Democrat Jimmy Naifeh from Tipton County who led the fight against the 'Safe Vaccines Bill'--since he is married to a pharmaceutical lobbyist (Betty ) http://www.answers.com/topic/james-naifeh His district should really consider this at the polls next time! HB0956 had AT LEAST 1 more committee to go (a committee that Speaker Naifeh is on) & then to a Governor who probably wouldn't have signed it anyway. It's been a long, drawn-out battle for parents--making weekly trips to the Capitol only to be disappointed repeatedly by political games played by committee members & Chairman Hargrove. THANK YOU to all who participated in this battle for safer vaccines.It's over. We lost.� Please spread the word, TN has rejected SAFER(no mercury) vaccines. And, parents, educate BEFORE you vaccinate. Wewill NOT vaccinate (ESPECIALLY not in TN). You decide for yourfamily. And, ALWAYS ask to see the ingredient list. Thimerosal has been 'voluntarily' removed, for awhile, from some vaccines. Aluminum, MSG formaldehyde, & aborted fetal tissue (MMR) are still in others. � � � � � � Ginger Shamblin, President TN4SaferVaccines.tripod.com/ P.S. Also, please express your gratitude to Rep. Lynn--she has taken a terrible beating on this one! If you can, send her a hand-written thank you note (or even flowers) to: � � Rep. Lynn, 215 War Memorial Building, Nashville, TN 37243 Sincerely, Corby, President Autism Solution Center, Inc. 9282 Cordova Park Road Cordova, TN 38018 (901) 758-8288 laura@... Inserted by Debi: I was told by my Democrat friends as well as Speaker Naifeh's staff that he has been horribly hateful and meanspirited toward Representative Lynn regarding those who have faxed, called, and emailed him regarding this bill. It is also my understanding that he accused those who sponsored the bill as being responsible for the calls, emails, and faxes. I would like to state for the record, that it was his own party who notified *me* of his dealings, as well as that of his wife, the lobbyist. While I apologise on behalf of anyone who resorted to name-calling, I stand by our rights that he works for US, not us working for him. As well, I was told by his Democrat friends that they do not like people asking them to support this bill. Evidently, many of our own Representatives have forgotten that they do our bidding and we have a clear right, if not obligation, to speak for our causes. My apologies to Representative Lynn if Speaker Naifeh is so niave of the political process as to assume those in his own party and office are not fed up with his grandstanding that he believed she was involved; Representative Lynn had no role in Jeff Ransom or my request that my beloved and oppressed vaccine injured community make our voices hear. IF you would like to send Speaker Naifeh your polite rebuttal regarding his continual obstruction of the political process (Since Represntative Lynn is not involved in this, please leave her out of it), here's his contact info: District Address P.O.
