Action Alert: Parents Demand Compensation for All Vaccine-Injured Children.

In the early 1980s manufacturers threatened to stop making vaccines unless Congress passed federal legislation protecting them from vaccine injury lawsuits. The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 established a national Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) effective in 1988 and designed to be a no-fault, non-adversarial alternative to
lawsuit. During the last year, three legislative attempts have been made to protect Eli Lilly from liability for thimerosal in childhood vaccines. Outraged parents demanded that legislators remove the "Lilly rider" from the Homeland Security Act and this was accomplished in January 2003 with the passage of the Omnibus Appropriation Bill. This bill also carried a provision that the VICP be reviewed in the first six months of 2003 and this review is currently underway in Congress.

More Negative Homeschool Stereotypes

Why???? Why must homeschoolers be portrayed this way?? I've been accused of being overprotective when I'm not. Far from it!!! GRR!! BOTH of my children are able to converse & otherwise interact with children & adults outside of our family. And I have a HUGE family!! {25 first cousins, 13 second cousins} My children are exposed to the real world, we don't *shelter* them from the outside world...

I'm in such a bad mood...MIL situation is contributing to it, which I will write about later, but today, it's all about how bad homeschoolers are!!!
