Guest guest Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Just to update you on a couple of news items: Albany Legislative update, plus discount offer on admission to Tenpenny lecture next Sunday in Brooklyn. First, the Tenpanny lecture. Last week I posted to area residents that Dr. Sheri Tenpenny would lecture about her newly published book on June 22 in Brooklyn. Sheri told me that she had no control over the price of admission. However, the promoters of the event (Carol and Dolphy of Didactic Mediums, 347-782-7564) told me that members of CFIC will be extended a $10 discount. Here's the basic info again, with a correct on the time the lecture begins: Sunday, June 22, 2008 Start Time: 2:00 pm End Time: 6:00 pm (Time Zone: US/Eastern) Location: _New York College of Technology_ (http://www.calendarwiz.com/calendars/popup.php? & op=view & id=16393549 & crd=osteo med2#location) Dr. Tenpenny will present, " Saying No To Vaccines " at the New York City College of Technology, 275 Jay Street, Brooklyn Klitgord Auditorium (Between Tillary and Willoughby Streets) SEATS ARE LIMITED!!! TICKETS: $35 BY MAY 22; $40 BY JUNE 10, $50 BY JUNE 22 $55 AT THE DOOR CALL FOR GROUP DISCOUNTS: SAVE $5 EACH ON GROUPS OF 10 to 20 SAVE $1O EACH ON GROUPS OF 21 OR MORE Contact: CAROL McCRAE Email: _didacticmediums_ (didacticmediums?subject=Brooklyn New York) Phone: 347-782-7564 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Next issue, an update on stopping Bill A10942---the one that would automatically make mandatory for school all vaccines on the CDC's recommended schedule for children. The bill was not placed on the Health Committee agenda yet. It may not be. But many are concerned that there might be an attempt to do so during the last committee meeting before the session ends at the end of June. To prevent that from happening, activist Lisa Rudley (lisarudley, 914-944-7273) is asking Albany residents and members that are close enough to travel there, to contact her before meeting in Albany on June 24 (tuesday). June 24th is the date of the last Health Committee meeting. It is hoped that another showing of parents might discourage any committee members from pushing A10942 out of committee. Contact Lisa for time and place to meet in the capital. Lisa reports one piece of good news: Our religious and medical exemption bills are reported out of committee and you can inform your Assembly members that they can vote for them. Also www.a-champ.org <http://www.a-champ.org/ is constantly putting out alerts to notify us of what bills are being discussed. I would strongly recommend getting on their email list. AChamp is revising it’s website and could use some volunteers to help review legislation going on in NY state and nationally. There are many people to thank, and will be thanked soon enough, for making the trip for the Albany rally. In the meantime, you can read what Lisa described what occurred that day: QUOTE A group of Westchester moms (including me) and one mom from NJ met up with 250 parents in Albany on Tuesday. A large group from Long Island and Albany were there. There was a lot of press covering the story. We had a great chant going: My kids; my choice..Rita Palma from Long Island did a superb job in organizing this rally and sent parents out to talk to our legislators. There were hundreds of us combing the halls of the legislative building. Mark Alessi, State Senator who is sponsoring the Philosophical Exemption spoke to us and went on public record opposing bill A10942 which would add 27 more mandatory shots to the schedule. At 1PM we all met up on the 8th floor to join the Health Committee meeting where bills are discussed. In turns out that bill A10942 was not on the agenda to be discussed. We believe from a source (which one I don’t know) that the bill was taken off the agenda. Even though the bill was not being discussed hundreds of parents began taking their sits in the Health Committee meeting so they could see our faces (it was great).

Parents that haven't received it say, in the last 8 months should ask me to send it to them. let me know if you only have dial up internet access. Also, please email me if you reside in Queens or Brooklyn and you have Verizon FIO. That's high speed fiber optic telephone, cable, or broadband internet service. thanks!
