<<ATTENTION! URGENT!
If your child has been injured with regard to a vaccine, please pay close attention and do something about this bill today. This is very important.
The bill is on the Senate floor right now in debate and could be passed soon. If it passes as written now, vaccine manufacturers will be released from liability for anything they produce.
If you don't think your child was injured by a vaccine, this still affects you. If you don't think it does, it will. What if you are required to take an AIDS vaccine or Small Pox vaccine in the very near future? Would you want recourse if the vaccine should be faulty? Regardless of all of that, it just seems unfathomable that we would set up an industry to be free to do whatever they want.
Whatever your opinion, PLEASE contact both of your senators offices today.
Forward this email to everyone you know and urge them to express their opinions as well. You can find your senators information at www.senate.gov

SAMPLE LETTER IF YOU ARE OPPOSED TO THIS PORTION OF THE BILL:
Dear President Bush, Vice-president Cheney, or Senator:
I'm strongly OPPOSED to a section of the bill passed by the House last night,
HR-5710, and would like you to oppose its inclusion in the Senate's bill on Home Land Security before you sign it.
Please view HR-5710, Sections 1714-1716, pages 482-484 of the House bill,
where it gives vaccine manufacturers PROTECTION on the ingredients in vaccines.
This is outrageous and offensive. It's already extremely difficult to obtain compensation for a vaccine injury through the government's current system.
For individuals who have had adverse reactions/been poisoned by thimerosal (mercury) and other toxins in vaccines you leave no alternative for them in taking legal action. FDA/CDC have known since 1972 about the dangers of the thimerosal ingredient in infant/childhood vaccines and in fact in 1992 it was eliminated from pet vaccines. No safety studies have been done on thimerosal. If you review a list of the symptoms of mercury poisoning and
autism, you will see they mirror each other and this country has an exploding epidemic of autism today. Teaching/educating these children is costing billions.
Injured children in this country need your help and the government should stop protecting vaccine manufacturers who fail to produce safe vaccines. If every child counts, please consider what ramifications of Sections 1714-1716, pages 482-484 of the bill will do. I'm counting on you to do the right thing.
Please, delete the sections above from the final bill you sign.
In kindest regards,
Your name
Your Constituent from CITY, STATE
