STRENGTH IN NUMBERS
I live in Maine, a state that is cur-
rently trying to do away with our reli- gious and philosophical vaccine exemp- tions. I am a mom of two young boys and a firm believer in parental choice.
WAPF recently sent out an action alert to Maine members about the situa- tion, and I just wanted to say thank you for that, and please keep it up! I think you are reaching people and getting them inspired to reach others. That’s what we need, strength in numbers!

WAPF has engaged Kendall Nelson to follow all the vaccination bills and write action alerts for us, along with the capable help of Judith McGeary. Likewise, Pete Kennedy keeps track of bills affecting raw milk and direct farm sales so that we can send action alerts to members in various states as needed. Their services represent your membership fees at work!

BAD VACCINE BILL
I just received your action alert
on a bad vaccine bill in the State of Washington. This was wonderfully worded and contained well-researched information. I called my representative and left a message. Thank you for your support. I usually feel so alone in my beliefs. It is wonderful to know you see the world the same way I do and that you too are trying to make the world a better place with more freedom for all.

ANTI-CHOICE LOGIC
I consider myself politically lib-
eral or progressive, but I notice that many people who are on my side of the political spectrum haven’t thought through their anti-choice logic when it comes to vaccinations. These are their arguments: women have a fundamen- tal right to control their reproductive healthcare decisions, but parents do not have the fundamental right to control
healthcare decisions for their babies and children; genetically modified food and ingredients are bad for the environment and bad for our health, but it’s okay to inject them directly into a baby’s bloodstream; mercury is a neurotoxin and we should ban it from commer- cially sold products for safety, but it’s okay to inject it directly into baby’s bloodstream; aluminum is a toxin and can cause Alzheimer’s, so switch to natural deodorant that doesn’t contain it, but it’s okay to inject it directly into a baby’s bloodstream; big Pharma is evil and only cares about making a profit, except when it comes to vaccines, and then they should be completely trusted and never questioned; vaccines work, yet I’m still afraid of catching diseases I’m vaccinated against from an unvac- cinated person.
And I’ve noticed that those on the other side of the political spectrum from me haven’t thought through this argument: Abortion is wrong, but it’s okay to inject aborted fetal tissue into
