For Those in NJ: Dec. 1st Call-in Alert

[Guest guest]

I am forwarding this email that I received since it is important to

those who are against mandatory vaccination.

 

Call-in ALERT !!

 

We are quickly approaching the Jan.1 deadline for NJ's mandated flu

shot

We just don't know how many kids will be excluded from daycare & pre-

school if they don't have their flu shot as of January 1, 2009. We

have never needed Vaccination Choice in NJ more… act now

And let your voice be heard! Apparently 10,000+ signatures on our

petition are not getting the attention of NJ lawmakers.

 

Make just 5 phone calls (and email to everyone you know, to do the

same) if you value VACCINATION CHOICE

Call-in will be on Mon. Dec. 1- Wed. Dec. 3 (and beyond).

 

Who to call:

(1) Governor Jon Corzine: (609) 292- 6000

 

(2) Heather Howard (NJ Health Commissioner): (609) 292-7837, or try

her email: heather.howard or fax: (609) 984-5474

 

(3) Your 3 NJ Legislators: To find your district and your 3 state

legislators, go to http://www.njleg.state.nj.us/members/legsearch.asp

 

and then check here to see if they are one of 35 sponsors already

http://njvaccinationchoice.org

- it's important to thank those already signed on, and

encourage them to actively work to push it forward.

- If they are NOT on board- ask them urgently to co-sponsor

NJ legislative bill A260/S1071, the Conscientious Exemption to

Mandatory Immunization.

 

Message:

As the Jan. 1 mandatory flu shot deadline is upon us, it is URGENT

that they support and pass

Assembly Bill A260 (on the Senate side it's known as S1071) as soon as

possible. If time permits, share your own reasons why you want

vaccination choice.

 

The coalition would also like to hear your stories of how the current

system of religious and medical exemptions in NJ are working for your

family. Please email them directly to: Sue at NJAICV
