The Autism Community Calls for Power of Parents Rally in DC

Stop the Mercury.
Stop the Lies.

Rally in D.C.
Upper Senate Park
Protest Government Inaction

October 7
Demonstration at D.C. Convention Center
Show National Pediatricians the Truth

October 8
The American Academy of Pediatrics ("AAP") will be holding it's annual conference in Washington from October 8th through the 11th - a unique opportunity to broadcast our message to the medical community. Our last rally in Washington, The Power of Truth, was an overwhelming success!

The public heard our cries for our children from coast to coast. So did our people in Congress. The talk for another rally hasn't stopped since then - and the need for action is urgent. Even though many people heard our message great political obstacles remain for our children. More action must be taken. We need to go Washington again -- and as many times as it takes to bring public scrutiny to the travesty of the Thimerosal Generation. Only by spreading awareness of what has happened to our kids will research be devoted to truly helping the one in six children diagnosed with a learning or behavior disorder.

RALLY TO:

. Demand the CDC Tell the Truth About Mercury
How long can the CDC continue to assist Big Pharma in perpetuating the myth that overexposure to mercury does not cause mercury toxicity? Let's get this agency to do the job it was created to do: fully investigate and end epidemics. With one in 166 children now diagnosed with autism, the CDC must finally be called on the carpet for their negligence in ignoring the injured kids of the autism epidemic.

. Stop S. 3 & S. 354 or the 'Punish Autistic Kids' Bills.
These bills bear different numbers but the legislation is the same -- these bills take away your vaccine injured child's rights. They call it tort reform, we call it the 'Vaccine-Injured Kids Don't Count Act of 2005." The House version of S. 354 - H.R. 5 - has already passed. We must stop these bills in the Senate.

. Demand No-Mercury Flu Shots this Winter!
It's on the record that enough mercury-free flu shots can be produced to meet the demand for flu seasons. Drug makers have been on notice since 1999 that mercury-free shots need to be manufactured for children. Flu shots are now required for very young children, so why are drug companies still allowed to produce a limited supply of mercury-free flu shots? We need to demand that production be stepped-up to ensure all children receive only thimerosal-free vaccines.

. Tell Doctors: Study Our Mercury-Injured Kids to Discover the Truth Doctors: demand better science. Question the government's use of only epidemiology studies to clear mercury damage to our children from vaccines. Why have they done NO clinical research in ten years? Our children continue to be threatened by government secrecy regarding mercury, predatory special interest legislation, and more mercury-toxic flu shots in the upcoming season. Our children must be protected--not exploited for politics and greed. Plan now to build on the momentum gained from our last rally and join us in D.C. for the Power of Parents Rally and Demonstration.
