Guest guest Posted October 8, 2003 Report Share Posted October 8, 2003 What about us refusers and how we've been treated? Distler letter to congress Hi everyone- I have a huge favor to ask of anyone who is interested. I am in the middle of writing a letter to send to everyone on the armed services committee. It occured to me that others of you may like to get in on this as well. Since I know that there is more likely to be strength in numbers, this is what I am proposing: Anyone who is having a reaction to the anthrax vaccine, please type a letter about your experience including dates, symptoms, doc vicits and what you would like to see happen with the anthrax vaccine, etc...And mail it to me and I will send in a copy of each person's letter to every person on the armed services committee. The only catch is that you would need to send me 90 copies of this letter signed with your phone and address printed on them. I know it's a lot of copying, but I think it's worth a shot. If I get enough response, I would consider going to DC and delievering the packages by hand. Also depending on the amount of response, I'm going to contact the press and see if they would be interested in doing a story on this undertaking, so people will be made even more aware of what is going on. So I'm asking you to please help. Tell everyone that you may know of that's going through a reaction what I'm trying to do. If you're interested please contact me. I know this is a long shot, but I also know that we can't get anywhere dealing with this individually. I would need these no later than 3 weeks from today, October 8, 2003.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2003 Report Share Posted October 8, 2003 Adele, This sounds like a great idea. And in cases where the Anthrax vaccine victim has not survived, perhaps a family member or close family friend can write the letter. To those who know of vaccine victims/family members who are not on the list, please be sure they get a copy of the e-mail below, so they can participate in the time allotted (three weeks from October 8th 2003 Gretchen List owner letter to congress > Hi everyone- > I have a huge favor to ask of anyone who is interested.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2003 Report Share Posted October 8, 2003 Adele, This is a great idea and we need " numbers. " Months ago the book " Anthrax A Deadly Shot in the Dark " by Tom Heemstra was hand delivered to all the senators thanks to Raquel donating the money to accomplish the task. I might make another suggestion to get someone to sign on via bill or act is to use the tool " Direct Order " the documentary by . I plan on making an appointment with Curt Weldon (PA, R) who is I believe on the committee. Making an appointment to watch the film rather than get the empty promise of watching it is more what I have in mind. Last time I talked with Mr. Weldon he patted me on the back and said " We are doing all we can for your son. " Well, no comment on his comment other than I am tired of WAITING for action and empty promises! My suggestion might take a little time but I WILL MAKE THE TIME! If anyone else has " Direct Order " this an excellent tool which has recently qualified for in Best Documentary! Lets help it get all the awards possible and use it in OUR CAMPAIGN ! www.directorder.org I personally met with Ted Nugent and he the DVD of this film. We are waiting to get a response from him but need the time to follow through! A bill or act may be in progress along with a gathering of veterans rallying behind it. More later . . . Any other suggestions . . . Jane Meryl writes: " Since the election of Bush, the Republicans in Congress who worked hard to help us during the Clinton administration have been silent. Next year's election will be a very big deal. The documentation that the anthrax vaccine causes terrible illnesses and deaths keeps growing. The media have been friendly to us. The public knew enough to refuse the vaccine even after being exposed to anthrax: only about 2% took the vaccine when offered, and most of these were given a snow job by an ex-Admiral physician, who himself was briefed by our bete noir Col. Grabenstein, liar and spin doctor extraordinaire. Canada no longer gives the shots. Britain is happy for their troops to refuse, and most have done so. Australia quietly stopped the anthrax vaccinations as well. Walter established a " Vaccine Healthcare Center " to deal with the human toll from the vaccine, and more such centers are planned. Although several lawsuits are pending, there is no movement at this time. And the courts have not been good to us so far, although we feel the evidence has become overwhelming, and we hope for a better showing in future. I would like to propose the following, and hope that all listmembers will discuss this idea and help improve it. I think it is time to go to every one of our elected representatives and demand that they declare their position on mandatory military vaccinations, particularly for biological warfare agents, which are slated to received abreviated testing and FDA review prior to use. In other words, will they introduce, or cosponsor a bill to make anthrax vaccine and other biowarfare vaccines voluntary? We need to get them to express their positions on paper. This they will not want to do. It will require multiple letters, calls and visits. We probably need to draft a model bill that would make vaccines voluntary, and find some initial sponsors. We should then publicize who our friends on this issue are, and who are not our friends. We should then generate a campaign and publicity around this. We further need to investigate which committees are best to push such a bill. We need to create a timeline for each step of this proposal, so that by next spring we can do some heavy campaigning. We need to interest both parties in this issue, and are likely to have much better luck with the Democrats at this point in time. Please share your thoughts.

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2003 Report Share Posted October 9, 2003 I would love it. I really think people should have the right to refuse it. I've even thought about going door to door to see if people would be interested in having the vaccine made optional, but I don't know if that would do me any good or how many signatures I would need for someone to listen? I'll have to check into that and see if it could do any good. But I mean thank God you refused it. You may have lost your health as well, you never know. When it comes to something that could ruin your health, you need to have the option of making your own decisions based on what you think is right. And it's certainly not right that you're treated poorly b/c you decided that your health wasn't worth risking for some vaccine. It's also not right that you're treated poorly if you take the vaccine and get sick. It seems like an impossible situation all the way around. SOmeone I talked to said it may take years to affect you. But it gradually wears down your immune system making you suscpetible. I don't know if that's true, but it sounds right to mo based on everything we've been through. So, thank you. If you wouldn't mind making the copies and sending them to me, I would be forever greatful.

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 I had a lot of spam in my bulk folder tonight, and after I hit delete - I noticed one had a subject line about the letter to Congress that I have offered to share. It was too fast for me to see the sender. Whoever wrote, I apologize, please write again and I will look more carefully before deleting! I cannot undelete from the bulk folder.

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Sue, Do you think that line " we are the canaries " is the best way to put it? I don't. I think that line provides a hook for a lot of (idiots granted, but still, peer pressure is powerful) people in these legislative offices to just laugh and make fun of us. Sort of like the TV shows that have made fun of people with mold lllness recently. Maybe, instead, we should say that we are the ones who were made sick first, (avoiding any mention of singing little birds) but by no means the last. (because the evidence points to mold illness being the result of cumulative exposure, in other words, people have a certain amount of exposure that they can get before their system starts going haywire and when they get that safety buffer stolen from them, they get ill for a long time, or maybe for good.) This avoids the stereotype of the typical mold illness/CFS/MCS patient (survivor!) as being female, in her 40s or 50s with 'nothing better to do'. Because so many of us, including myself (I'm male) buck that stereotype, (and mold illness can happen to anybody if they get enough exposure.) Also, is there a need to have names and email addresses public? A lot of people have lost so much and of course, they are afraid of being branded nuts or never getting health insurance - or jobs - again.. (legitimate concerns) Do you know what I mean?
