Description

This is a site to post information about:
- RFK Jr.’s next TV appearance (i.e. When is he finally going to be on Good Morning America?)
- The Politics of Mercury Poisoning (formerly known as “Autism.”).
- Any organized events (Marches on Washington, Phoning campaigns to congress, Local sit ins).
- Where do we order color re-prints of the Rolling Stone article?
- Local TV, Radio, Newspaper coverage of this story.
- How can each of us can make a difference in “tipping” this story?

For example - Tim Russert said on Imus this morning that he would certainly cover the vaccine/mercury story if Senator Lieberman championed it, and it became news (we think it’s news already but that’s beside the point). So for crying out loud let’s call Senator Lieberman and push for a full senate investigation.

Another example - Unlocking Autism has a plan for mobilizing a grass-roots effort to push this story into the forefront where it belongs. Let’s share that information here and discuss the finer points of obtaining billboard ads in our communities, or approaching local news outlets.

We finally have the tools to educate people about the cause of Autism (Rolling Stone article, and coverage by national TV shows). Though many of you have been talking about this for years…often to deaf ears…you now have the power of print and a massive grass-roots effort behind you.

This is one of the biggest news stories in recent history (the media just doesn‘t realize it yet). Let’s get the story to the forefront so we can soon have the entire nation focused on our children, and their plight.

We can do this!
