forward from:

To all parents, family members and friends of individuals affected by “autism,â€

We desperately need your help in completing the SECOND PHASE of a letter campaign that has been directed toward the Office of Special Counsel (OSC).

During the FIRST PHASE of this project, a group of fifteen families from around the country have conducted a “mass-mailing†to the OSC and hundreds of state and federal government officials, along with press and broadcast reporters, who were copied on the correspondence. The letter addresses serious allegations regarding injuries due to the neurotoxic chemical Thimerosal and asks that the CDC, FDA, and others be investigated.

During the SECOND PHASE we anticipate thousands of letters being sent to the OSC and to Investigative Reporter Myron Levin of the Los Angeles Times, who has agreed to be our “personal contact†in this regard. He has also indicated that if a story were to develop (i.e. thousands of letters were to reach him) that the Los Angeles Times would be apt to do a story.

I’m sure most of you are aware of the fact that it was shortly after the Los Angeles Times did a piece on the National Institutes of Health (NIH) regarding the conflicts of interest between individuals within that organization and pharmaceutical companies, that a congressional inquiry was launched.

We need to show, by the sheer volume of letters sent to both the OSC and the Los Angeles Times, that there is no greater issue than the poisoning of a generation of America ’s children.

Here’s what we need you to do:

Read the letter at http://www.nationalautismassociation.org/pdf/oscletter.pdf Print the letter and sign it. Send the letter to the OSC: BY MAIL:
