Guest guest Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 HI all, I have already sent you all this information. Got only a few responses. So it appears as if I really need to make it CLEAR what this sick bill is really trying to do. First off they are using much needed military benefits to shield EVIL acts they want to also shove through. This bill will take away individual STATE rights to CHOSE what they want to subject their citizens to. It will take away the right of individual states to do things like California did when they passed a law to take mercury out of toxic vaccines. It will further SHIELD all drug makers, the drug pusher doctors who get the kickbacks, and take hard earned tax payers money to help them buy LAND to make more toxic vaccines. It will give a TAX credit to these killers for making their toxic products. All of the future schedules of vaccines, and WHO has to take them, how many, and when, will be given to the power of the SECRETARY and NOT each State! They are trying to give the power to One person to speak for the WHOLE country. Bypassing state rights to decide for themselves. They KNOW some states are FAR more informed on vaccine and drug damages then others. They know those pioneering states have brought NATIONAL attention to the truth behind vaccines. How can they silence them? Take away ALL STATE rights. They will Make this a FEDERALLY controlled entity to which drug companies are given carte blanche to create anything they like, kill as many people as they like, and OH well, so much for that. This bill also removes CAPS put on drug prices that were put in- in the 80's. So not only can they kill us without repercussions but now the sky is the limit on what they can charge for killing us. For those who say, " But I won't get their toxic crap. " Think again about how those inflated " skys the limit prices " will be reaping them billions more then they already make. Right now a large portion of funds to public schools are based upon vaccine rates. The lower those rates the less funding they get. Doctors are given kick backs from drug makers not only for the vaccines they push but for new drugs they are pushing on their patients. For all those in the militray they are FORCED to endure these toxins.(this is on Tax payer dollars- we have no choices in opting out of paying for that destruction) For many entering college they are TRYING to force more vaccines via boosters-just to make sure they can have a shot at them again. For people traveling they try to HIT them again. Most importantly should they instate Martial Law-Good luck with getting out of that one. Parents will have to pull their kids from school if they want to avoid the FEMA trap of government officials entering the schools, locking them down, and forcing vaccines. This Bill says we have NO rights to make these drug killers pay for " whatever " product they make. Be it for arthritis, blood pressure, heart or vaccines. The Patriot Acts then come in and say " they " can force those toxins on our children if " they " deem us in a so-called national threat. Forget about exemptions. Children like my son who were already harmed by these toxic killers will not be exempt. This bill also creates a database to further track us like dogs. Not to actually show true threats like how many vaccines are brain injuring and killing our kids, nor how many heart meds are causing heart attacks, but to use to throw into their next scare campaign to get the lemmings to line up for the toxic shot of the week. Remember the past reports of the families of vaccine injured children who were HARASSED after they were put into the already existent database. What better way to track those they will deem as the resister-truth tellers-then to have a national database to which they can quickly silence them from state to state? This is also needed to use for scare campaigns-to say LOOK this state has flu running rampant in it- NOT to say they got the flu from the vaccines or a person who was rendered contagious from their toxic vaccines. But to get the lemmings to line up for their toxin of the week. This bill also demands unlimited funds for them to create MORE drugs with LESS scrutiny. That's right, faster drugs, to be approved much faster. What does this mean? More drugs like Vioxx etc...will be shoved into production quicker. Who cares about deadly side affects when it means killer drug companies will make money faster bypassing those silly things like safety tests and long term studies? Meanwhile they will GO after all natural supplements that HAVE been used for centuries. That HAVE been tested endlessly because they are so cheap that they are the TRUE threat to the toxic choices of mainstream. Try as they might each faulty biased test against one safe alternative or another is quickly dismissed due to those CENTURIES of proven, safe, use. No where in this bill does it address actually conducting LONG term studies on vaccines to which they have YET to do. Why? because they know ALL of these toxic vaccines would show just how deadly they are in such a study. They CAN'T allow that. We all know the new flu epidemic has been unleashed. WE all know what they have planned. Remember Hitler passed many UNGODLY acts before he ever unleashed his wrath on his own people and the Jews. This act is putting more " protections " for the killers in place before they start the slaughter. Get involved. DO NOT LOOK THE OTHER WAY. Do not allow political devotion to come before protecting humanity. Contact your reps. Make sure you have a record of each and every political rep that you contact. Make sure THEY know you are keeping this record. Write to them ALL. Or we can forget having any sense of a system in place to protect us because we will be giving God-like control to one man in this country. The Secretary Tzar will rule. OK I did take the time to highlight this for you all. Please at least take the time to read it. It really is important. Right now we still have choices as the Constitution allows at the " State " level. But we won't have for long if people do not act. Say a forceful NO to Senate Bill 3! Yes, make them accountable to our military for much needed benefits, but NOT at the cost of the military and the rest of us. For those in the military will be affected FIRST as they are targets for new vaccines and untested drugs. Enough is enough! Take care, be well, and stay informed God Bless Pamela +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ National Vaccine Information Center Contact: 703-938-0342 for immediate release February 4, 2005 NATIONAL VACCINE INFORMATION CENTER CALLS " ANTI-TERROR " BILL " UNCONSTITUTIONAL " Washington, D.C. – The nation's largest and oldest consumer-led vaccine safety organization, the National Vaccine Information Center, is calling a bill introduced into Congress by Senators Gregg and Frist entitled " Protecting America in the War on Terror Act of 2005 " (S.3) as an " assault on the Constitution " and a serious threat to protecting the health and informed consent rights of those who use federally regulated vaccines and drugs. " This bill is labeled as a " anti-terror " bill, " said NVIC president and co-founder, Barbara Loe Fisher, " but it is power grab by the federal government and an assault on self-governance and the informed consent ethic. It takes away the freedom of the people to make their voices heard through their elected state representatives and protect themselves from unsafe drugs, such as Celebrex and Vioxx, and unsafe vaccines, such as those that contain high levels of mercury. It gives unprecedented liability protection to the drug industry and broad powers to federal officials to hide the truth from the people about vaccine and prescription drug risks. " The Tenth Amendment to the Constitution specifies that " The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people. " Protecting the public health was NOT delegated to the federal government and public health laws, including laws governing use of vaccines, have always been under the control of citizens residing in each state. Of major concern to vaccine safety advocates, are the following provisions in S.3: * Eliminates a state's right to more strictly regulate vaccines and drugs and more fully inform their citizens about vaccine and drug risks than does the federal government. Laws already passed in California and Iowa limiting mercury content in vaccines would be repealed. * Gives comprehensive liability protections to drug companies. Eliminates a citizen's right to seek justice in state courts for drug and vaccine injuries and deaths and limits awards in federal courts. Gives tax credits, grants and patent extensions to the drug industry. * Allows the Department of Health and Department of Justice, the defendants in the federal Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, to write the terms of their own defense in order to further limit awards to vaccine injured children; * Creates and funds a mandatory, national electronic tracking system operated by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to monitor vital records of citizens relating to both notifiable and non-notifiable diseases and " new trends " and " patterns in public health. " Creates penalties for states and health care providers not reporting in a " timely manner " to the national tracking system. There are no provisions for mandatory reporting of serious health problems following vaccine and prescription drug use or punishments for not reporting serious side effects. S. 3 is being promoted by sponsors as a military veteran benefit bill because it raises the death benefits and other financial support for the families of soldiers who lost their lives in the war in Iraq. " The irony of this bill is that it is using the families of citizens who have given their lives to defend our nation's freedom in order to take rights and freedoms away from other families. Military veterans should not be used to protect the drug industry and take away the freedom for all Americans to have their voices heard through their elected state representatives, " said Fisher. " In his Inaugural speech, President Bush said `there is no justice without freedom.' This bill is does not serve justice or freedom. " The National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC) is a national, non- profit organization founded in 1982 by parents of vaccine injured children. NVIC worked with Congress on the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 and has worked with families in states to protect informed consent rights, including the right to have full and accurate information on vaccine benefits and risks prior to vaccination and make informed, voluntary vaccine decisions. NVIC worked with families in California on the Mercury Free Act of 2004, which limited the amount of mercury in vaccines sold in that state. For more information, go to www.nvic.org.

(Yes they must make this GLOBAL because they not only want US to be forced into the scare campaigns and into taking their toxins but they also want to control the world and have the ability to push these toxins onto other countries as well-We've done WONDERS for Africa haven't we? ) TITLE II- INCREASED BENEFITS FOR FAMILIES OF DECEASED MEMBERS OF THE ARMED FORCES Sec 201- INCREASE IN DEATH GRATUITY PAYABLE WITH RESPECT TO DEATHS OF MEMBERS OF THE ARMED FORCES FROM COMBAT-RELATED CAUSES OR FROM SERVICE IN OPERATION ENDURING FREEDOM OR IRAQI FREEDOM Current death benefit is $12,000 would be raised to $100,000 and would be retroactive to October 7, 2001.
