Update on NJ Bills A1931 and S1147 to Restrict Religious Freedom &  Vaccine Choice

3/16/2015

I am disappointed -- but not defeated -- to share this update on today's hearing in New Jersey. As home to vaccine giant, Merck & Co., we knew New Jersey would be difficult and this just confirms it.

My heartfelt thanks to all those who attended the NJ hearing and to everyone who supported them prayer. Our brothers and sisters in NJ have much work to do. The rest of us need to continue to pray and lend our support in whatever way we can!

As a good friend just shared a short while ago,  "I am afraid that the USA is gradually slipping into a dictatorship and people are not taking notice." God bless, watch over and protect us all . . .


The following post is from Louise Kuo Habakus of Fearless Parent and co-author Vaccine Epidemic. Louise, a NJ resident and strong advocate for vaccine choice, was instrumental in organizing the 400 plus people who attended today's hearing.

I am just back from Trenton. Over 400 NJ parents and professionals gathered at our state capital today to oppose a new Assembly bill that proposes to gut the religious exemption and effectively mandate vaccination for virtually all children.

No matter. 300 people were enough in Oregon but not NJ.


Despite the impassioned, compelling, and articulate testimony of over 100 who took the microphone to voice strong opposition, plus the hundreds who oppose the bill but declined to testify in the interest of time, the Health Committee voted to move the bill to the full Assembly.

- Chairman Herb Conaway changed his bill to match S1147 with no public notice
- He granted each person just 60 sec to speak
- He left the room with certain committee members for a long period of time without explanation
- He would not allow me to discuss conflicts of interest or the Merck lawsuit brought by 2 whistleblower employees alleging fraud to preserve its mumps vaccine monopoly
- He did not express any acknowledgement of the extraordinary presence of many hundreds who showed up... filling all 80 chairs, another 175 standing along both sides of the room, spilling out the door, and another 150+ in a large overflow room
- Only 3 testified in support of the bill
- Committee members looked anxious and tense. There was very little discussion. 
- Asw Jimenez deceived her constituents, saying she would oppose this bill (she voted in favor).
- Asm Eustice and Asm Green both expressed support to parents. They abstained.
- Thank you, Asm Peterson -- the sole member to vote in opposition.
- Can you imagine what goes on behind closed doors in the Pharma capital of the world?

The situation in NJ is grim. There are now companion Assembly and Senate bills that have moved out of committee and headed for both houses.

I can't impress strongly enough what is at stake. The NJ legislature wants to pass a law so it can determine who's religiously sincere for the express purpose of increasing vaccine compliance.

Who will stand in judgment of those who stand in judgment? Implementation of this bill will destroy who we are and what we stand for.

It's time to gather your people and start making your voices heard. We need to organize by legislative district. Contact your Senator and 2 Assemblypeople. Request a meeting and bring a large number of people. I will be working with the NJ Coalition for Vaccination Choice to get this done.

If you can convene large groups, we can get a Coalition member to lead discussions.

Act now. These bills will be hastened to both houses as soon as they feel confident. It's not quite time to contact Gov Christie yet.

Stay tuned. Thank you to everyone who showed up today.

What steps do they need to pass this bill into law? When is the earliest that it could take effect? My child's school just sent a letter about her needing the MMR vaccine. I wish to submit a religious based exemption request. Can I still use the simplified format or is this new more stringent requirement required now? Thanks and keep it up, you're doing God's work!

Dear Ex . . . thank you for your kind and encouraging message! I'm assuming since you commented on this post that you are from New Jersey. Here's an update on S1147 from the the NVIC (National Vaccine Information Center) Advocacy Portal which I highly encourage you to visit and register to gain access to updates in your state. The link is https://nvicadvocacy.org/members/Home.aspx.

UPDATE:
S1147 pulled before the floor vote on May 18th - Will be posted again
Published: 5/28/2015
Expires: 8/31/2015

Action Alert Instructions
On May 18th over 50 parents and children were in Trenton in opposition to S1147, the bill that would essentially destroy the religious exemption in NJ. The bill was pulled before the vote because the sponsor did not have enough votes to pass it then.

He has stated that he will post the bill for passage on Thursday, June 25th. We will need a big turnout in Trenton on that day as well.

Please continue to call your Senators and Assembly members and ask them to vote NO on S1147/A1931 when it is posted for a full vote.

Your legislators can be found here. http://www.njleg.state.nj.us/members/legsearch.asp

I'm not sure what the "simplified format" is; however, I do know that in New Jersey -- at least for now -- you should be able to submit a statement stating that the vaccine (or vaccines) are against your deeply held religious beliefs. Helpful information at http://njvaccinationchoice.org/faq/, www.nvic.org and under the "Vaccine" tab at http://www.cogforlife.org. I hope this is helpful! You can also email me at [email protected]. God bless and take care . . .
