Do you have 5 minutes to spare?
That's all it takes to make a difference.

To all parents, family members and friends of individuals affected by “autism,”

We desperately need your help in completing the SECOND PHASE of a letter campaign that has been directed toward the Office of Special Counsel (OSC).

During the FIRST PHASE of this project, a group of fifteen families from around the country have conducted a “mass-mailing” to the OSC and hundreds of state and federal government officials, along with press and broadcast reporters, who were copied on the correspondence. The letter addresses serious allegations regarding injuries due to the neurotoxic chemical Thimerosal and asks that the CDC, FDA, and others be investigated.

During the SECOND PHASE we anticipate thousands of letters being sent to the OSC and to Investigative Reporter Myron Levin of the Los Angeles Times.

I’m sure most of you are aware of the fact that it was shortly after the Los Angeles Times did a piece on the National Institutes of Health (NIH) regarding the conflicts of interest between individuals within that organization and pharmaceutical companies, that a congressional inquiry was launched.

We need to show, by the sheer volume of letters sent to both the OSC and the Los Angeles Times, that there is no greater issue than the poisoning of a generation of America’s children.

Here’s what we need you to do:

1. Read the letter here.
2. Print the letter and sign it.
3. Send the letter to the OSC:

BY MAIL:
Special Counsel Scott Bloch
U.S. Office of Special Counsel
1730 M Street, N.W. Suite 300
Washington, D.C. 20036-4505

OR FAX:  (202) 653.5161 or (202) 653.5151

4. Send the letter to Investigative Reporter Myron Levin:

BY MAIL:
Mr. Myron Levine
17344 Los Alimos St.
Granada Hills, CA 91344

OR FAX:  (213) 237.7837

IMPORTANT: WRITE MYRON LEVIN’S NAME ACROSS THE TOP OF EVERY PAGE OF THE LETTER:

This is critical because there are 60 people in the Business Area and they will toss the faxes if they do not know who it goes to!!!!

For more information see our press release from 4/14/04.

Questions? Write to Kelli Ann Davis. With everyone’s help, we can make a huge impact. Please take a couple of minutes to do your part.

Thank you to Kelli Ann Davis, Lisa Sykes, and all the parents who worked so hard to make this happen!
