Guest guest Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 8/9/2012 UPDATE California Bill to Restrict Vaccine Exemptions Passes Senate 2nd Reading Final SENATE VOTE could be TODAY!!! ACTION: Contact Senators NOW to OPPOSE AB2109 Dear California NVIC Advocacy Team Members, Yesterday we informed you that AB2109, the bill that would restrict the philosophical exemption to mandated vaccines making it impossible for a child to attend school unless their parent obtains a medical visit and signature on the vaccine exemption form, would be voted on in the Senate and we asked you to call your Senator. The final vote is about to take place yet and we need your calls and faxes now! AB2109 has been ordered for a third and final reading TODAY so it is imperative that you stop and take a few minutes to make some calls and faxes. If you already called yesterday, please look at our new request in item number 3 below from your California State Director Dawn Winkler to contact 2 Senators who have the power to help. 1) Call your Senator NOW and ask that they vote NO on AB2109 Senator Contact Information can be obtained by clicking on http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/yourleg.html and entering your zip code to lookup who your senator is and then finding their contact information on http://senate.ca.gov/senators or you can log into the NVIC Advocacy Portal at http://NVICAdvocacy.org, select your California State Team Page, and click on your senator’s name displayed on the right side. Ask Your Senator to Vote NO on AB2109 because a) You don’t have a healthcare provider who will sign this form so therefore your child will be excluded from school and California truancy laws dictate that you as the parent could be subjected to fines and jail time http://www.cde.ca.gov/ls/ai/tr/. You have strong convictions on why you alter the vaccine schedule (explain your reasons making sure to include vaccine reaction histories if you have them) and that a 5-10 minute office visit with a provider you are being forced by law to go to who you wouldn’t choose otherwise isn’t going to change that. This is harassment. 2) Ask everyone you know to contact their Senator to Oppose AB2109 Forward this email to family and friends Post this link on Facebook: http://nvicadvocacy.org/members/Resources/CAOPPOSEAB2109RestrictingVaccineExemptions.aspx 3) NEW: Fax and Call Senators and Rubio to ask them to Bring AB2109 back to the Health Committee because Issues Still Exist At the end of the Senate Health committee hearing on June 27th, Senator Ed reserved the right to " call the bill back to committee " if amendments were not made to satisfy Senator Rubio's provider access concerns. Families testifying stressed that they do not have providers willing to sign the exemption form. None of those amendments have been made. Senator needs to stand by his word and call AB2109 back to the Senate Health Committee for a HEARING. Fax Senator Ed at AND (sample from Dawn Winkler at: http://nvicadvocacy.org/members/Portals/0/NVIC/Fax.doc ) Ask him to stand by his word and CALL AB2109 BACK TO COMMITTEE TO DISCUSS THE REAL ISSUES ABOUT HOW THIS BILL WILL KEEP KIDS OUT OF SCHOOL and because none of Senator Rubio's concerns have been addressed. There were no amendments during the appropriations hearing. Tell him adding school nurses as signors DOES NOT FIX THIS BILL (not that they have been added but that is the ONLY amendment discussed that is possibly coming) Email Senate Health staffer Moreno and tell her to pass it on to Senator at melanie.moreno@... and if you would like to call her, her number is . Senator ’s office number is . Fax Senator Rubio at (sample from Dawn Winkler at: http://nvicadvocacy.org/members/Portals/0/NVIC/RubioFax.doc ) Ask him to hold Senator to CALLING AB2109 BACK TO COMMITTEE TO ADDRESS THE REAL ISSUES WITH AB2109. Tell him the access issues brought up in the hearing have not been addressed and that adding school nurses as signors DOES NOT SOLVE ACCESS PROBLEMS OR FIX THE BILL. If you have a personal story to share here about any aspect of this bill, vaccine injury, doctor harassment, or that your school does not have a nurse or you know they won't sign, this is the person to share it with and the time to do it. Email his staffer Radosevich at martin.radosevich@... and ask that he pass it on to Senator . 's phone number is . Senator Rubio's office number is 4) Stay Connected to us Please register for the NVIC Advocacy Portal at http://NVICAdvocacy.org if you haven’t already so you will be added to our California state email list and receive updates.
