Spectrum Magazine articles & NAA

[Guest guest]

While I certainly support and commend the efforts of A-Champ (and

other organizations)on the many issues that they've personally

initiated and worked on, I'd like to make one clarification

regarding the " Maloney/Olmsted " legislation...

Mark Blaxill is the individual who drafted the initial legislation

for this bill...he worked very closely with Ben (from Maloney's

office) over several weeks and I believe the actual bill that was

submitted had only a few minor changes made to it...

I know that Mark would NEVER " step in " to clear this up because

quite frankly, that's not his style....

However, being a good friend of his and personally knowing all

the " sacrifices " that he has made (and continues to make) on behalf

of all our children, I just wanted to " set the record straight " and

to publicly thank him for all his hard work on behalf of our

children!!

Thanks Mark :-)

> The local/state impact of A-champ and the efforts of Gilmore,

Krakow, Bobbie Manning, etc., coupled with the Weldon/Maloney

legislation (vaccine safety) and the Maloney/Olmsted legislation

(ferreting out the reality in vaccines) are extremely important

pieces in this puzzle. This work should be highly commended.

> " Weldon and Maloney were joined by several groups advocating

vaccine safety reform, including the National Autism Association, A-

Champs, and safeMINDS. According to the National Autism

Association, “This landmark legislation will provide critical

government agency oversight and implementation of vaccine safety

research, which has not kept pace with the rise in the number of

vaccines routinely prescribed to consumers including pregnant women

and young children.â€

autism organizations have made the CAA their highest priority.

However, I think the NAA should be commended for having the

organizational courage to publicly support both, the CAA and

Weldon/Maloney legislation.
