A-CHAMP
and
Eagle Forum,
an organization that seeks to protect children's and families'
Constitutional rights, found common ground in opposition to drug
company immunity legislation that violates the Constitutional rights of
all Americans. Full page ads titled
Open Letter to Congress
in Opposition to Pharmaceutical Liability Protection
were published in all the Capitol Hill Congressional newspapers
recently.
The ad, as
featured below, appeared
in The Congressional Daily
(Dec. 12 & 13), Roll Call (Dec. 13), The Hill (Dec. 14) and
The Washington Times (Dec.15).
Open Letter to Members of Congress
in Opposition to Pharmaceutical Liability Protection
Dear
Members of Congress:
We are opposed to congressional
efforts to secretly insert language that will hurt American families
in a ‘must pass’ appropriations bill. By doing so, you will take away
families’ Constitutional right to hold manufacturers accountable when
they distribute dangerous and defective drugs, including all vaccines.
Instead of putting the safety of
Americans first, proposed language would give immunity to drug
companies that hurt Americans, even if the companies commit gross
negligence, and would deny any compensation or remedy to those
harmed.
Cloaked in secrecy and without debate,
the provision would remove a key incentive for the industry to produce
safe, effective drugs and vaccines, and would turn all Americans,
including our children, into guinea pigs.
This maneuver crosses the line, and
disregards the Constitution’s Seventh Amendment right to trial by jury
and the safety of the American people. To provide total immunity from
liability is unheard of in a free society and could make a pandemic
worse by undermining public confidence and support for a vaccination
program.
We urge you to
reconsider this dangerous proposal.
You were elected to represent and protect the American public, not the
special interest agenda of the pharmaceutical industry.

A-CHAMP also
spear-headed a recent collaborative effort with numerous autism advocacy
groups in a letter to President Bush. The letter (shown below)
requested a meeting to discuss the Administration's continuing efforts to
shield the pharmaceutical industry to the detriment of children and
families.
President
George W. Bush
December 6, 2005
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20500
Dear Mr. President:
As parents of vaccine-injured children and
the professionals who serve them, we are writing to request a meeting with
you, at your earliest convenience, to discuss legislative proposals
addressing the threat of a public health pandemic. Our organizations
represent thousands of children and their families. We are especially
concerned about your apparent support for proposals that would give
pharmaceutical companies sweeping immunity for harm that may be caused by
vaccines and other drugs.
We are aware that in October of this year,
you met personally with drug industry officials, including the CEOs of
GlaxoSmithKline, Sanofi-Aventis, Wyeth, Chiron and Merck, to discuss
government incentives for producing drugs and vaccines to combat a pandemic
outbreak. Following that meeting, the White House released a proposal that
would provide virtual immunity to these companies for any deaths and
injuries caused by these products, leaving families with no legal remedy if
their loved ones suffer an adverse reaction. Meanwhile, companies would be
protected under the proposal even if they acted grossly negligent or
distributed a contaminated batch of vaccine.
We respectfully request that you provide
the families of vaccine-injured children an opportunity equal to that which
you provided to the pharmaceutical industry. We appreciate your leadership
in this area and hope to work with you to produce a plan that will encourage
the development of safe and effective vaccines, while at the same time
ensuring protection for persons and families who are the innocent victims of
injury.
Thank you for your consideration. We look
forward to hearing from you.

Our Voices are Being Heard
Take Action!
Thousands
of you responded to our
A-CHAMP Action Alert on S. 1873 and our
Action Alert to stop the "Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act"
which passed in Congress due to legislative trickery and gave the drug companies sweeping liability protection.
Your voices
are being heard. Listen to this audio clip from NPR that explains how the
"Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act" was muscled
through Congress without regard to the will of the people or fair legislative process.
The Charlotte Observer
reports
that 'interest group' voices stalled Sen. Burr's vaccine plan, which is
why he and the pharmaceutical lobby did a legislative end-run.
Please speak up now to repeal
"Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act".
Act
now to tell your Congressional representatives and your state reps
(because the "Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act" preempts
state law) that you are outraged at this Congressional action.
Take Action
through A-CHAMP's easy to use messaging
system and send a message to Congress. Just click on
Take Action
and
let Congress know that you are "A CHAMP" for children.
