Guest guest Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 OUR RELIGIOUS EXEMPTION IS NOW BEING THREATENED! Assemblyman Dr. Herb Conaway (Assembly Health Committee Chair who stonewalled our conscientious exemption bill for 6+ years) is forcing through an Assembly Concurrent Resolution (ACR 157) for tighter guidelines on what would constitute a "valid" religious exemption. IN OTHER WORDS… the state will attempt to define a criteria under which someone could claim a religious exemption. Sound unconstitutional? INDEED! Do you believe our legislators and health department are qualified to establish religious exemption criteria, and school administrators are appropriate to judge parents' religious tenets as they relate to their children's vaccinations? It seems our elected officials have forgotten the 1st Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America! "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment o f religion, or prohibiting the free exercise, thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people to peaceably assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." It's time to make our voices heard at our elected legislative offices with a MASSIVE call-in/ write-in campaign. Contact information is below. SPEAKER SHEILA OLIVER: DO NOT POST ACR157 IN THE ASSEMBLY for a vote! This is the message for the Assembly Speaker, Sheila Oliver, who technically decides whether the bill should be posted or not. Tell her this is an inappropriate resolution that threatens our constitutional rights. She also needs to know that our 12,000 members are extremely disappointed that she pulled our conscientious exemption bill (A2450) from the committee agenda. ASSEMBLY SPEAKER, SHEILA OLIVERSuite 202/ 15-33 Halsted Street/ East Orange, NJ 07018973-395-1166 (phone)973.395.1724 (fax)email: aswoliver@... ASSEMBLYPERSONS AND SENATORS: DO NOT VOTE FOR ACR 157 if it comes up for a vote! Concurrent Resolution does not require the Governor's signature so if this goes through, the religious exemption will be compromised. Additionally, bill A2450, Conscientious Exemption to Mandatory Vaccination must be posted for a hearing!

We deserve to the right to informed consent and demand to have our bill heard and no further resolutions passed to restrict our rights.
