Here is a more comprehensive EMAIL ALERT as suggested by Thomas Selleck: Anybody in touch with the AMISH? Maharishi School Email lists?

Efforts to remove vaccine accommodations are happening in other states too. The Bioshield Act that past US Congress last year states that the Dept. of Defense can call an emergency and mandate the vaccination all civilians with untested drugs. The Public Readiness and Preparedness Act and other covert forms of Congressional legislation provides liability protection for the Drug and vaccine manufactures to use untested drugs on us and our children no constitutionally provided recourse to the courts.

Our religion and spiritual tenets and accommodations established in State Codes, so far, is our only option out...unless that door gets closed. Heads up and watch your toes!

URGENT RESPONSE NEEDED:

Two identical sister bills, one in the Iowa House (HF 368) and one in the Senate (SSB3094) threatens our right to object to standard medical care and vaccinations for our children are in hot debate at the Capitol, this week and perhaps next. The medical mega complex, the Catholic, Lutheran and Methodist Churches dead set on removing "religious accommodations" from the Iowa Criminal Code. You may ask why? The religions are well invested in Catholic HOSPITALS; Presbyterian HOSPITALS; Methodist HOSPITALS. Hospitals like St. Jude’s children’s hospital, for example is now a research center for vaccines.

These bills in essence, say that if a parent does not give their child "appropriate medical treatment" and the child dies, the parent will be automatically put up on criminal charges. For example: Let us say that a child dies of a respiratory illness and the parent didn't give the child a flu shot, that parent would be taken up on criminal charges and have no defense.

Here are a few sound bites you may consider:

My child is healthy and strong, having never been vaccinated while his friends all suffer from illnesses ranging from asthma and ADHD to common colds.

Thank God I was able to opt of vaccines for my child considering nearly 20% of children entering public school today are neurologically damaged from mercury (thimerosal in vaccines)

Thimerosal is still not removed from vaccines.

We “recognized religion” be stricken from the code and an expanded definition of spiritual/philosophical and conscientious objection inserted in its place.

I practice spiritual and complimentary medicine and I should not be forced into a medical system that is replete with adverse side effects, deaths and evidence of harm.

Former Representative William Witt: “there is only so far the State can go in trying to prevent risk. The Constitution tells us very clearly that we have to draw the line. Democracy is inherently a risky business. But one thing is very clear…we will not tolerate risk to our fundamental constitutional principles. And freedom of conscience, freedom to dissent, and the freedom to protect the minority from tyranny by the majority are at the core of our constitutional faith”

· I oppose laws that treat separate children from the beliefs of their parents and goes so far as legislating that the State knows better than I do what my children need. My children enjoy the same Constitutional rights as anyone else of any age. “We are on very dangerous grounds when the State tries to protect the children from the beliefs of their parents”. Former Representative Boddicker

· “Appropriate” medical treatment changes from one day to the other depending on how many of us get injured or die.

· I want the freedom to take care of my self and my children and the freedom of choosing from a variety of healthcare practices, win or lose. Certainly there are many losses, using conventional medical treatment. Why aren’t those involved taken up on criminal charges?

· The American Medical Association, a private trade organization or the State shouldn’t mandate my healthcare choices. The State doesn’t own my body unless we are moving away from Democracy towards Fascism.

· Instead of saving one child over a 20 year period of time who is lost under prayer, how about saving the millions of children that got injected with mercury (Thimerosal) over the last 20 years that was mandated by the State Legislature of Iowa. Shall we hold State legislators responsible because it is the State’s mandate? I suggest having a broad “opt out clause ” may hold harmless the State.

· Was injecting mercury directly into our kids’ arms “appropriate” medical treatment or institutional malfeasance.

The bills are in both "Judiciary committees" for the Iowa Senate and the Iowa House. Thousands of emails are needed now! Emails for the judiciary committees can be found on: http://www.legis.state.ia.us/aspx/Committees/CommitteeInfo.aspx The bills can be found at www.legis.state.ia.us website.

Simple put: This bill relates to the criminal offense of child

1 19 endangerment.

1 20 The bill strikes a provision exempting a person from

1 21 committing child endangerment based solely on the willful

1 22 deprivation of health care if the person can prove the reason

1 23 for withholding medical treatment is for religious purposes

1 24 and such treatment would conflict with the tenets and

1 25 practices of their religious denomination.

1 1 Section 1. Section 256B.8, unnumbered paragraph 3, Code

1 2 2005, is amended by striking the unnumbered paragraph.

1 3 Sec. 2. Section 726.6, subsection 1, paragraph d, Code

1 4 2005, is amended to read as follows:

1 5 d. Willfully deprives a child or minor of necessary food,

1 6 clothing, shelter, health care or supervision appropriate to

1 7 the child or minor's age, when the person is reasonably able

1 8 to make the necessary provisions and which deprivation

1 9 substantially harms the child or minor's physical, mental, or

1 10 emotional health. For purposes of this paragraph, the failure

1 11 to provide specific medical treatment shall not for that

1 12 reason alone be considered willful deprivation of health care

1 13 if the person can show that such treatment would conflict with

1 14 the tenets and practice of a recognized religious denomination

1 15 of which the person is an adherent or member. This exception

1 16 does not in any manner restrict the right of an interested

1 17 party to petition the court on behalf of the best interest of

1 18 the child or minor.

1 19 Sec. 3. Section 255.10, Code 2005, is repealed.

1 20 EXPLANATION

1 21 This bill relates to public safety provisions involving the

1 22 health of children.

1 23 Code section 256B.8, relating to exceptions and special

1 24 provisions involving the requirements for school districts to

1 25 provide special education to children, is amended by striking

1 26 an exception. The stricken language states that the special

1 27 education Code chapter shall not be construed to require a

1 28 person who is a member of a well=recognized church or

1 29 religious denomination and whose religious convictions, in

1 30 accordance with the tenets or principles of the church or

1 31 denomination, are opposed to medical or surgical treatment for

1 32 disease to take or follow a course of physical therapy, or

1 33 submit to medical treatment. The stricken provision also

1 34 states that a parent or guardian who is a member of such

1 35 church or religious denomination and who has such religious

2 1 convictions shall not be required to enroll a child in any

2 2 course or instruction which utilizes medical or surgical

2 3 treatment for disease.

2 4 An exception to one of the grounds constituting the crime

2 5 of child endangerment in Code section 726.6 is stricken. The

2 6 stricken exception provides that a failure to provide specific

2 7 medical treatment is not for that reason alone to be

2 8 considered willful deprivation of health care constituting

2 9 child endangerment if the person can show the treatment would

2 10 conflict with the tenets and practice of a recognized

2 11 religious denomination of which the person is an adherent or

2 12 member.

2 13 The bill repeals Code section 255.10 in the Code chapter

2 14 relating to the provision of medical and surgical treatment by

2 15 the university of Iowa hospitals and clinics to persons who

2 16 are indigent. This program is often referred to as the "state

2 17 papers program". The repealed section allows the county board

2 18 of supervisors to refuse to issue an order directing that a

2 19 patient be taken for treatment if the patient or the patient's

2 20 parent or guardian is a member of a religious denomination

2 21 whose tenets preclude dependence on the practice of medicine

2 22 or surgery and desires in good faith to rely upon the practice

2 23 of their religion for relief from disease or disorder.
