Guest guest Posted July 9, 2002 Report Share Posted July 9, 2002 From Ingri Cassel: Dear Members and Friends - Please take a few moments to go to the following CDC weblink and tell them what you really feel about them attempting to force an experimental drug onto 1/2 a million of us with ZERO proof that it is safe OR EVEN WORKS TO PREVENT SMALLPOX! With over 64 potential biological threats, smallpox would be the least likely one for a bonafide terrorist to use... http://www.cdc.gov/nip/smallpox/supp_recs.htm#Transmission <http://www.cdc.gov/nip/smallpox/supp_recs.htm> Thanks for making yourself heard! They need to know there WILL be resistance. Ingri Cassel, President Vaccination Liberation - Idaho Chapter P.O. Box 1444 Coeur d'Alene, ID 83816 (208)255-2307/ 765-8421 vaclib@... www.vaclib.org " The Right to Know, The Freedom to Abstain " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 3, 2003 Report Share Posted September 3, 2003 As many of you are aware, Children of God for Life together with <A HREF= " http://www.hli.org/ " >Human Life International</A> are currently boycotting all Merck products ((<A HREF= " http://www.cogforlife.org/merckproducts.htm " > http://www.cogforlife.org/merckproducts.htm</A>) due to their refusal to stop using aborted fetal cell lines in their vaccines. Here's your chance to let the big boys know what you think of this practice. Forbes Inc. is conducting a survey to see what the public thinks of Health Care CEO's. Included in the poll is none other than Gilmartin, CEO of Merck and we must say he is faring rather poorly with an 83% disapproval rating! You will note his rating has steadily declined from April - before the news of our shareholder resolution was made public when his public approval stood at 50%. Click on the link below to register your vote - thumbs up or thumbs down. There is also a spot where you can add your own comments about the CEO so let them know about the boycott and that we do not appreciate their unethical practice or their lack of public concern. <A HREF= " http://www.forbes.com/2003/03/25/cx_ceohealthcarepoll.html " > http://www.forbes.com/2003/03/25/cx_ceohealthcarepoll.html</A> God bless, Debi Vinnedge, Executive Director Children of God for Life http://www.cogforlife.org --- End forwarded message --- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 I am sorry. What is IDA - Individuals disability act???? What is " we have half-billion dollars for IDA savers within our grasp " ???? Sorry for having to give the dummy down version, but I truly don't understand. I am happy to call my Congressman and Senators, but right now I am clueless about what this means to my family and the disability community? Liz.
