Open letter to President Elect Obama:

Congratulations President-elect Obama on a historic occasion. While

most Americans are most assuredly concerned about issues pertaining to

our economy and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, there are many in

America who are concerned about the epidemic of autism in our

communities.

There is little doubt that more than 1 percent of our current

population suffer from this disorder. Autism is affecting far more

than those families that deal with this on a daily basis. Taxpayers

will continue to bear the burden of social programs that have been

inundated with calls for help and our school systems are overrun due

to the added burden of educating and caring for these children.

While both you and Sen. McCain during the election have made public

statements regarding the autism-vaccine link, I am calling on you as

our future president to follow up on your campaign statements

regarding the need for further research into this matter. You have

made statements that have called for the reinvigoration of our

healthcare system and also called for the development of new vaccines.

This concerns those of us who have vaccine-injured children, primarily

due to the mainstream medical community and government's disregard and

cavalier attitude that it has heretofore given to our cries for help

and answers.

There is no doubt that autism is far more than genetic, since by the

very nature of genetics, it has nothing to do with an epidemic aside

from susceptibility to environmental factors. Former director of the

National Institutes of Health and current health and science editor

for U.S. News and World Report Dr. Bernadine Healey has been looking

into the vaccine-autism link and has stated that there are peer

reviewed studies that show the possibility of a link and she further

stated for CBS evening news that she felt that the medical profession

and the government refuse to look into the issue because " they are

afraid of what they might find. " A number of studies will be coming

out early in 2009 that will most assuredly bring this issue further

into focus. One of these is the Burbacher macaque monkey study that

shows a direct correlation between vaccinated monkeys and autistic

behavior (while the unvaccinated monkeys in the study show zero signs

of this behavior).

This is not an issue that can further be forgotten about, overlooked

or covered up, as your predecessor has done. This is not an issue that

can only be about the financial welfare of the pharmaceutical

manufacturers, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the medical

community. This is a real- life issue that is affecting far too many

families in this country as well as throughout the world. The divorce

rate of families with autistic children is higher than the average,

the bankruptcy rate is far above the national average and families are

being torn apart by this disorder that I firmly believe is largely

preventable.

I call on you to listen to our voices and understand that hundreds of

thousands of parents across this country are screaming from the

proverbial rooftops that vaccines have stolen their children from

them. We will no longer be ignored. A president who wants to remain

president will have to listen to the multitude of parents out here

that are demanding answers. You say that you are all about " change; " I

hope that this change will be about what is best for the children of

this great nation. Change for the sake of change is worth nothing and

can unfortunately go in either direction. Listening to the many

parents out there, acknowledging the many recovered children that have

done so as a direct result of detoxification and biomedical treatments

and demanding answers from those who have for too long covered up and

ignored the obvious is one way to tell the American people that you

are truly concerned about those of us who have been forced to deal

with autism on a daily basis while the remainder of the world passes

us by.

Pay attention to us and I as a registered Republican will support you.

Ignore us and continue the cavalier attitudes of the past two

presidents at your own political peril. A child is being diagnosed

every 20 minutes in this country; that's two parents, four

grandparents and countless nieces, nephews, aunts and uncles who will

be voting in the next election. Sooner or later, everybody will have

to deal with this problem. The question is: " will it be out of

necessity or compassion? "

Obama's Disability Advisory Committee has been under the spell of a

neurodiversity adviser.

It will be a trick to reverse this source of misinformation.
