This is a letter from another wonderful parent. Thank you, Michael!!!
As the father of a 4 1/2 autistic beautiful little boy who was mercury poisoned, I believe you should up-hold the truth. The sad fact is that this will be the largest mass-tort/class-action litigation this country has ever seen.
I am amazed that such big egos and foolish congressional members (Frist,et al.), The Wall Street Journal (for the rich), cover up bureaucrats in Atlanta (CDC), and golden parachute executive's (pharmaceutical industry) think that this issue will - "just go away, like it never happen."
Well, I have news for them. My family and many of these afflicted families of this horrible disorder are amassing the largest army - America's Army of Autistic Antz (because its one of his favorite movies, over and over)to fight the people who are trying to deny these American children's Civil Right's - the right to expose the truth to the public, and to be justly
compensated for it (but what price do you put on a child whose life has been destroyed by a known poison that was given to them?).
This is what I call, "American's Silent Holocaust." It has happened and continues to this day to happen, but there are selfish individuals and organizations that are more concerned about their reputations and money,then ever doing the "right thing."
So what is the right thing? We as a country are very compassionate - especially to other nations. We destroy them and rebuilt them (87 billion to Iraq for starters), we send millions in relief (Iran earthquake, etc)and support the United Nations, using our tax dollars. But when a major problem such as this hits home, families and their autistic child are out of luck. Literally hundreds of thousands of them - and it may go into the millions? So what is the "right thing to do?"
We have fought the school systems (who don't understand the problem, and are under funded), the doctors (who refuse to believe what's happening to a generation of American children), the government (Vaccine Court, and lies), the insurance companies (who deny claims and say this is a mental health issue, not neurological) and so many others. Yes, we have lost in so many ways. We have lost our jobs, our homes, our marriages, and our sanity, but NOT our passion. And they think we will go away? I 'm sorry, but like many families we will make it our life's endeavor to change this and give "America's Children" their Civil Rights that they are entitled too - THEIR DAY IN COURT! The real news for the Wall Street Journal, Sen. Frist, et al., WE WILL NEVER GO AWAY, NEVER!
So I plead that every person that has a child, or grand-child, or knows someone they care for and love with this horrible disorder, become ANGRY...become so vocal to your congressional representative's, find the right lawyers (because that's how we fight for our rights in a democracy),make it a point to write your newspaper and do whatever you can to make this "Silent Holocaust" known. It will be the only way our autistic children will have a future.
Make no mistake, an Army is amassing and it's heading straight towards Congress and Courtrooms all across this country.
With perseverance and passion, we are this Autistic Army.
