Guest guest Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 Folks we are drop dead serious here. We need to be circulating the ACHAMP letter through out local list serves. The BioDefense bill passed the HELPS committee today. Safeminds and ACHAMP are in DC as we speak with others prepping for meetings. We need to be on the horn with our respective senators and baraging them with letters. If this passes we will have no access through freedom of information act to what is in medicines and vaccines. VICP will be history and the drug companys will be indemified. This strips away basic rights to informed concent and gives Pharma diplomatic immunity and " Enron like " power.

It has happened again. We need you to act ASAP. In The Name Of Bioterrorism, Congress Again Plans to Extend Liability Protection To Vaccine Manufacturers, Abandoning America's Vaccine-Injured Children. Senators Enzi and Burr have introduced the new BioDefense Bill. Like the BioShield and Homeland Security Bills, it plans to take away our children's rights. Please read and take action now! THE BEST GOVERNMENT DRUG MONEY CAN BUY Dear Parents, We need your help NOW in putting a stop to this legislation designed to protect the very industry that poisoned our children. Knowing that drug companies have suppressed safety data and poisoned a generation of children with mercury-laced vaccines, the Senate HELP Committee (Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions) is nonetheless is about to to push the Biodefense Bill through without hearings. If this bill is passed vaccine makers will have even more incentive to ignore product safety. The reckless disregard for injuries to Americans through dangerous products created by drug manufacturers must not be sanctioned by our lawmakers. Capitalizing on fear and intimidation, drug companies are using generous campaign donations to seduce Congress into awarding the pharmaceutical industry unprecedented liability protection, and thereby remove any financial incentive for manufacturers to produce safe vaccines. The " Biodefense and Pandemic Vaccine and Drug Development Act of 2005 " , influenced by drug industry lobbyists, abandons the children and citizens of this country and rewards a pattern of bad behavior by an industry recognized for suppressing safety data on vaccines. Your communications with the HELP Committee members need not be long or detailed, especially since time is of the essence. Just let them know you are the parent, caregiver, or friend of a vaccine-injured child, and that the language in the Biodefense Bill that protects the pharmaceutical industry for the results of lax, profit-driven safety standards is detrimental to public health and unacceptable. Use the letter in this Action Alert and send a message! For more information on the " Biodefense and Pandemic Vaccine and Drug Development Act of 2005 " and its implications to public health, please see the analysis from the Center for Justice and Democracy at http://www.centerjd.org/free/mythbusters-free/MB_VaccinesAlert.htm Thanks! The A-CHAMP Legislative Action Team! Your Message This system requires that you provide your name and contact information. This information will not be used for any purpose other than to identify you to the recipient. Subject: Stop the Bill that Takes Away the Civil Rights of Vaccine Injured Children! Required text to Senate: This text will be included in your message. I respectfully request that you take action to stop the effort to take away the rights of vaccine injured children contained in the " Biodefense and Pandemic Vaccine and Drug Development Act of 2005. " As both a voter and caregiver of a vaccine-injured child, I feel very strongly that my child's rights are about to be jeopardized once again. I ask you, as my Senator, to pledge to put the interests of America's children and families before that of drug companies. We remind you that the public is watching. Just like the Homeland Security Rider, the Biodefense Bill will be seen for what it is – a gift to the pharmaceutical industry in exchange for campaign contributions. As a voter, I am asking you to vote against legislation that will remove my vaccine-injured child's rights to fair litigation. Thousands of families of special-needs children are going bankrupt, and many are selling their homes just to pay for care that insurance does not cover. Lawsuits give our children the voice that was taken away. The right to have to have a claim fairly heard in a court of law is a basis American right. The right to have compensation for care can only be provided by preserving our access to civil justice through the courts. Please do not support legislation that gives pharmaceutical companies more than it gives to your constituents. This is especially true in the case of those that cannot speak for themselves--vaccine injured children. Vote NO! on the " Biodefense and Pandemic Vaccine and Drug Development Act of 2005. " The parents of America will be watching how you vote.
