Community organizing at it's best!

http://www.barackitforward.blogspot.com/

This site started on a parenting discussion board of 500 members across the country. This is the very thing Gov. Palin, Fmr. Mayor Guliani and the like are making fun of. A community organizing to make change happen. This time our community is AMERICA!

SPEAK OUT and HELP OUT NOW! Every vote will count and every action will count. Be part of HISTORY. FIGHT for the freedoms our forefathers died for, for the freedoms our troops die for every day, for everyone who didn't have a say at one point in time. It's time for CHANGE.

This is a personal opinion and is in no way endorsed by the Obama for America campaign.

Would you allow your kids to play with unvaccinated children? I would.

And I'm quoted on MSNBC.com saying just that!

My girls are up to date on vaccines, as per the American Academy of Pediatrics. The chance of contracting a disease even being vaccinated is slim. Why would I worry that my girls would get one of these diseases from a friend, when they can just as easily contract it from a seatmate on an airplane - especially those international flights?

I believe strongly in vaccinating, I would encourage parents to do so. I would also encourage the medical community to look at how many vaccines children get at once and over their lifetime. I know my kids will get quite a few more than I do - especially the flu vaccine, which I've never gotten. There has to be a link between autism and vaccines; the sooner someone admits it and fixes it the better off we'll all be. There's some nasty stuff in those shots, but what makes it any worse than the things we eat that are loaded with preservatives? I don't know.

Here's what it comes down to for me - what if the one kid in the class who's not vaccinated could be my child's best friend for life? Who am I do deny that kind of relationship over a vaccine? And what if that un-vaccinated child could never have been my child's friend because a vaccine made them sick?

I'm not God, I'm just a mom, one of billions around the world, who have to do the best they can, every hour of every day for their children. We have so many choices, many of them will be wrong. In my book ostracising an un-vaccinated child or their parents is wrong. Simple as that.
