HR 4080 national meningitis legislation
 

Dear Angels, Friends and Family,

 

Here is the chance to do something in memory of or in honor of our Angels.

HR 4080 national meningitis legislation was introduced on March 31st  

and requires college level immunization.

With work we could help to expand this Bill to do more.

The Bill Sponsors Are

 

Rep. Andrews of NJ  http://www.house.gov/andrews/contact.htmand

Rep. Isakson of Georgia.  http://isakson.house.gov/

 

We hope by the end of  2005 a new vaccine will take the place of the current one and

the recommendations will come for teens to be covered with education and vaccinations.

 EXTRA : New Zealand has come out with a new vaccine to cover Meningococcal Group B

 meningitis. We hope to see this in the Untied States soon.
 

Below is a listing by state of all of the members on the Education in the Workforce Committee, whose support is needed  for the new meningitis bill introduced this week. 

You may want to  contact members of the committee ask to cosponsor the bill as a start. The more supporters , the better chance of getting this through at a national level.

 

 

One day there will be a bill  to protect all our children,

but for now this is the best we can do.

 

Just a short note by snail mail or e-mail  to the committee representative in your state.

EXAMPLE NOTE

Please support HR4080 Meningitis Vaccination Bill of 2004 to save the lives of our children and loved ones.
