Vaccine registry being formed for NH
Vaccine registry being formed for NH
Please be aware that NH DHHS is working to put in place a State Vaccine Registry of all residents of NH, children and adults. NH law allows this to happen and on April 23 the Executive Council approved a 5-year contract with Scientific Technologies Corp from Arizona. http://www.stchome.
Check out their blog. This is a very militant company when it comes to vaccine policy.
Here is the link to the rules for the “Immunization Registry”.
There was a public hearing on May 22 but you still have time to send in your written objections and suggestions to these rules.
The deadline for written comments is this Thursday, May 29.
The deadline for written comments is this Thursday, May 29.
Please send your comments to Michael Holt, Rules Coordinator by fax (271-5590) or email micheal.holt@dhhs.state.
One of the most offensive provisions of the proposed rules is that this is an “opt-out” registry where if you don’t want to be on the registry you must get a government form, fill it out, and file it with the NH DHHS where you will be put on a different list. Either way, you are on a government list! Declining should be as easy as saying no. A better alternative would for this registry to be an opt-in for those who want to be on the state’s list.
It is also very troubling that simply declining a vaccine will get you on the list as a refusal. A refusal is a “vaccination event” as shown in the definitions.
Please consider your most important objections to these proposed rules and write to Michael Holt today. It doesn’t have to be long. It doesn’t have to be elaborate. Simply write from the heart about what troubles you the most and your suggestions for changes.
Thanks so much.
Laura Condon, NH Director of Advocacy for NVIC

Let’s Blow Up American Child Welfare and Start Over:
You know the look. You’ve finally managed to get out of the office like your family and friends said you should. You’ve dressed up a bit and made it to a social event where you’ll meet some engaging and smart people who do things other than represent stigmatized, deeply challenged children and parents. You’re swapping stories and chuckles, and actually starting to believe that there’s life out there beyond the confines of your caseload. And then someone asks what you do, and you tell them, and you get that look. Not rolling their eyes exactly, as these are sensitive folks who know they should consider what you do important. Instead, it’s a slump of the shoulders, a tilt of the head, and a weak, wan smile in the eyes and on the lips that says, “Oh, you poor thing.” An esteemed public policy professor once gave me that look after I told her what I wanted to do with my life, as she said, “Oh, God. Talk about your intractable social problems…”

to raise those kids, than a stranger foster care parent would receive.
Note: Of course Foster strangers get more money than relatives. That's no surprise. And so does CPS/DCYF, Nationwide. That's the reason more often than not that children are placed with Foster strangers. CPS/DCYF lose money if the children are placed with relatives.

One of the legal fantasies promoted by governments and officials is the idea of ‘sovereign immunity’… where they are not liable for their corrupt and illegal actions.
Unfortunately this lie of ‘sovereign immunity’ is also repeated unknowingly by people who have a real case against government officials and therefore do not pursue very valid claims.
A recent US Supreme Court decision clarified and confirmed that the government and their agents can be held liable and accountable for wrongdoing carried out by officials in its employment while on the job.

A Tribute To ALL The Mother's Of ILLEGALLY Stolen Children
Happy Mother's Day!
I want to wish all Mother's a Happy Mother's Day, but this is a special tribute to ALL the Mother's of ILLEGALLY stolen children. Stolen by the State and stolen by the father's guilty of alienating the children from their Mother's.
This is a day of sadness for many Mother's. The Mother's of the Stolen children, who won't spend this very special day with their children. The Mother's who carried their stolen children in their wombs, up until their long, awaited birth.The Mother's who heard their child's first heart beat. Felt their first kick. Felt their first hiccup. Watched the child grow inside them. The Mother's who sang to their unborn child. Talked to their unborn child. The Mother who made plans for their future together, never even fathoming the idea they would have no future as Mother and child. A Mother and child bonded. A bond which can never be broken, the child will always know that a Foster stranger, an adoptive stranger, or a step parent is Not their birth Mother.
The pain and suffering a Mother never overcomes after her child is stolen is like no other. The grief is lifelong. A loss no-one should endure. There is no closure, only worry and anxiety. A world turned upside down. A life spent in Limbo, hoping for the day their children are returned. Hoping for the day the corruption within CPS and the Family Court's will be exposed for the money hungry villains that they are. Hoping one day they will be held accountable for all the families they needlessly destroyed. Hoping one day the father's/mother's guilty of parental alienation will finally be held in contempt and lose custody of the children they've brainwashed and kept from their loving parent for so long.
The State can steal a child from their Mother and place the child with stranger's, but the child will NEVER be their's. Children aren't stupid. They know whether they belong or not.
Happy Mother's Day and please unite together to bring ALL of our Stolen children home!

Hoping for the day the corruption within CPS and the Family Court's will be exposed for the money hungry villains that they are. Hoping one day they will be held accountable for all the families they needlessly destroyed. Hoping one day the father's/mother's guilty of parental alienation will finally be held in contempt and lose custody of the children they've brainwashed and kept from their loving parent for so long.
The State can steal a child from their Mother and place the child with stranger's, but the child will NEVER be their's. Children aren't stupid. They know whether they belong or not.
Happy Mother's Day and please unite together to bring ALL of our Stolen children home!
