TRENTON RALLY...Huge success!!!

[Guest guest]

ABC WORLD NEWS WITH CHARLES GIBSON TONIGHT

The ABC film crew just left my house.  They will air a short 2 minute segment on

this issue tonight, sometime between 6:30-7:00pm EST.  Another crew was filming

the Health Commissioner at nearly the same time.  Keeping fingers crossed… they

have promised to be balanced.  If you can DVR the clip and put it on a DVD,

please let me know (in case we need it). 

 

TRENTON RALLY RECAP

One of the police present at the event told Claudine that we had 700 people at

the peak of yesterday’s rally contrary to the reports of some press.

 

A huge thank you to everyone who helped, spoke, traveled to Trenton and attended

us in spirit.  We must acknowledge a lot of people whose support made the rally

possible including the leaders of the NJ Coalition for Vaccination Choice, all

our speakers and everyone who attended, Whole Foods Princeton for the bottled

water, Barb and Majeski for donating the A/V equipment (and Barb’s

wonderful video), Heeren who always shows up, donates her valuable

talents and time and documents our important events, the Hasenkamps and Asenka

Creative Services for donating the creative talent behind some of our flyers,

Versatile Entertainment and PSAV Event Services for discounting their services

to us, Autism One Radio and Teri/Ed Arranga for covering the event live (check

back middle of next week for the video), Kim Stagliano and Age of Autism for

giving us the platform to share our stories and the prayers and encouragement we

receive across the

country from many, many parents who believe we deserve the right to choose.. 

 

And we are still working to reschedule the meeting with Health Commissioner

that was postponed.

KEEP THE PRESSURE UP

Please continue calling and writing your legislators.  Write another letter! 

Let’s keep the momentum up from today’s rally.  They all read about us.  We are

on the front burner RIGHT NOW.  Tell your legislators how impressed you were by

the legislators who passed by and either addressed the group or expressed

support (including Sen Oroho, Asm Chuisano, Asw Littell-McHose, Asw Karrow, Asm

Rumana, Asm Bramnick, Asm Doherty (his aide came), Asm Schaer).  Offer to meet

with your legislators.  We will help you to get them up to speed on the facts. 

As other legislators catch on that this is a hot issue, we will gain more

support.  In addition to the four who spoke, several others were unable to stay

but voiced their strong endorsement of A260 or S1071.

 

COUNTER ECBT’S OPRAH CAMPAIGN

Please e-mail Oprah. Tell her about the NJ rally and take a moment to express

the urgency around chronic autoimmune illness and neurodevelopmental disorders

in our country… that’s the crisis, not the 2 kids who died of the flu in NJ

since 2004.    Check out this e-mail by ECBT that was sent right after our rally

yesterday:

Please Take The Time To Contact The Oprah Winfrey Show

It has been quite some time since Every Child By Two (ECBT) has asked you to

take action on an issue related to immunizations. I write to you today with an

urgent request for your assistance in reaching out to the Oprah Winfrey Show to

urge that she dedicate a show to the science behind the question of whether

vaccines cause autism. More than fourteen credible studies have been

conducted worldwide exonerating vaccines and yet the media and entertainment

industry continue to frame this as a debate. ECBT and our public health partners

have reached out to Oprah’s producers countless times without success.

However, I recently had a lengthy conversation with one of the producers who

recommended that we initiate a letter writing campaign by commenting within the

Oprah.com feedback section of the website. This information is tabulated to

determine whether there is enough interest to conduct follow up shows. 

I urge you to take five minutes to fill out the Oprah Winfrey Show online form

by following the link below. In your comments, please request that Oprah invite

credible scientists and/or physicians to explain the science of vaccines to her

viewers. We also would like her to invite parents who have

suffered the loss of a child from a vaccine-preventable disease, and a parent of

an autistic child who can speak on behalf of the many families that are

frustrated over the continued focus on vaccines and their supposed link to

autism and the therapies that focus on “repairing vaccine damage.”  Please

relate any personal experiences you may have with vaccine-preventable diseases

or autism. In addition, please refer the Oprah Winfrey Show to Amy Pisani,

Executive Director of Every Child By Two, for any follow-up questions. My phone

number is (860) 443-1166.

And finally, please forward this to your family and friends and request that

they also reach out to the Oprah Winfrey Show.
