Hi All,

Several of you have written to me asking that I send an email to the
list with all of the emails from last night, formatted together so
they can be forwarded to other lists, friends and others who might be
in a position to/want to help out with the AVN's plight. Your wish is
my command. Below is the information on what we need and why. Please
feel free to forward this far and wide!

Thanks so much,
Meryl

In the latest edition of Informed Voice (www.informedvoice.com.au),
we put out a call for funds because we desperately want to be able to
accomplish some very specific goals of reaching more people with our
information and also hopefully, getting more members/readers - you
name it. The goals were as follows:

We need to raise approximately $20,000 over the next 12 months to
successfully lobby Federal Parliament for chages to legislation
taking away the need for parents to see doctors in order to register
as conscientious objectors to vaccination

$17,000 would allow us to advertise our services and our magazine in
the Bounty bag. This information is currently given out to every
woman who births in hospital in Australia - exactly the people who
need our information the most!

We need to raise $10,000 to proceed with our plans to test all
currently-licensed childhood and adult vaccines for the presence of
mercury, lead and other heavy metals.

$5,000 would help to cover the annual running cost of our 1-800
number (1800 007 468) which has been set up to allow parents and
health professionals to report vaccine reactions when they occur.

I just got a call from one of our members who said that these figures
are enormous and people will most likely feel that there is no way
they can raise that kind of money so they just give up. But what she
asked is - how many members we have. We currently have just over 2000
members. And to add up all of the money and divide it by the number
of members. If I do that, it
comes out to a mere $26 donation per member!

So - for less than the cost of sponsoring a child who is overseas for
one month, you can actually help support Australian children right
here at home. Can you please consider a one-off $26 donation or a
monthly donation of whatever you can afford to help achieve these
goals? Maybe you can only pledge $5 a month - or $10? Maybe you are
in a position to give $40 or $50 a month? Whatever you can give will
go towards achieving these goals and starting up future projects to
raise the awareness of vaccine dangers and ineffectiveness.

Whatever the case may be, please have a think about it and if you can
give, please do. If you are not yet a member, please join! You can
subscribe/join at www.avn.org.au and can also donate there - both
options use a secure site. We have credit card and paypal available
on the website Please don't email your credit card details - it's not
secure - use the website or call us during business hours on 02 6687
