Okay-- I respect Political figures in our Country; but after reading this article below-- this just makes me angry. After looking back at Noah's vaccination records along with his milestones, his autistic behaviors started right after he received the flu vaccine and his MMR shots.
Okay, Mr President.... the families of 1 in 166 children who have the Autism disorder want answers, cause this Mom feels let down by you not keeping your Campaign promise!
Bush Set to Veto HHS-Labor-Education Appropriations Bill Due to Provision to Remove Mercury From Infant Vaccines SafeMinds and autism community call the White House declaration 'irresponsible and dangerous'
WASHINGTON, July 18/PRNewswire-USNewswire
According to the Congressional Quarterly, the White House stated on Tuesday that President Bush would veto the HHS-Labor-Education Appropriations Bill because of the cost and "objectionable provisions" such as a measure to ban the use of childhood flu vaccines that contain thimerosal, a mercury-based preservative.
Autism advocacy groups are outraged because President Bush stated in a questionnaire during his 2004 campaign: "I support the removal of Thimerosal from vaccines on the childhood national vaccine schedule. During a second term as President, I will continue to support increased funding to support a wide variety of research initiatives aimed at seeking definitive causes and/or triggers of autism.
It is important to note that while there are many possible theories about causes or triggers of autism, no one material has been definitely included or excluded."But since 2005, President Bush has steadfastly refused to issue an Executive Order banning high amounts of mercury in vaccines that would protect children and pregnant women despite repeated requests from the autism community that he uphold his campaign promise.
Under his current administration, mercury has been and will continue to be knowingly into the youngest of American citizens. The controversial mercury-containing preservative thimerosal has been linked by thousands of parents as being the cause of their children's mercury poisoning and autism.The flu vaccine which continues to be manufactured with mercury is recommended for all pregnant women, infants and children despite the fact that the Institute of Medicine in 2001 recommended against the policy of exposing these same sensitive groups to thimerosal containing vaccines.
According to the EPA, one in every six women of childbearing age already has blood levels of mercury high enough to cause neurological damage to their unborn children due to environmental exposures alone. "Injecting even more mercury into the bodies of pregnant women, infants and children when it is not a necessary component of vaccines is just bad medicine," said Lyn Redwood, president of SafeMinds and parent of a mercury-injured child. "It defies logic that a flu vaccine must be disposed of as a hazardous waste if it is not used, but somehow injecting the same mercury-containing vaccine into a baby is safe."

The Queen Concludes visit with a toast and a Joke :)
Well, it is refreshing to see that the Queen of England has a sense of humor after Joel and I watched the movie "The Queen", the other night. :) After watching it, I can honestly say that even though I don't quite understand her ways or being un- emotional, I did walk away with some compassion for her and her role as Queen.
It must be hard to be in the spotlight all the time!!!! I can say that I don't blame her for her past actions & being so "formal" . It is the only way of life that she knows coming from her generation. But-- It does make one wonder if she just longs to let her hair down and cut loose like the fun loving Sarah "Fergie" Ferguson has done in the past. Know what I mean?? LOL
With that being said... Long live the Queen!!!!
Queen concludes visit with toast, joke
By DESMOND BUTLER, Associated Press WriterWed May 9, 8:08 AM ET
The queen had the last laugh. Dispensing with protocol briefly at the formal dinner she hosted for President Bush, Queen Elizabeth said, "I wonder whether I should start this toast by saying, 'When I was here in 1776.' "
The joke was at the expense of the president — the same president whose wife said he had to be talked into putting on the most formal dinner a White House can host — a white-tie affair.
Bush took it in stride, though, starting his toast by saying, "Your Majesty, I can't top that one."
Tuesday night's royal teasing contrasted sharply with the tightlipped, high-protocol, much-orchestrated style that characterized the British monarch's six-day U.S. tour. It was in reaction to Bush's faux pas Monday after he formally greeted the queen with trumpets, a 21-gun salute and a march by the Old Guard Fife & Drum Corp.
At one point in the South Lawn ceremony, Bush noted that the queen had dined with 10 U.S. presidents and had helped the United States "celebrate its bicentennial in 17 ... ." Bush caught himself and corrected the date to 1976." This brought loud laughter from many in the invited audience of thousands.
A chagrined Bush deadpanned that the queen just "gave me a look that only a mother could give a child."
When asked Tuesday what she had told him, Bush deferred, perhaps deciding to keep it to himself. "Nah, she didn't say anything," he told reporters.
The year 1776 cannot be a favorite year for the queen. It is the year when the monarch at the time of the American Revolution, George III, lost his richest colony.
At the Tuesday night dinner, the 81-year-old queen went on to toast her country's close relationship to the United States.
The queen concluded a rigorous schedule of events marked by frequent changes in dress and a series of colorful hats.
In Virginia, she visited Jamestown, America's first permanent English settlement, returning to a spot that she had seen as queen in 1957, when Bush was not yet a teenager.
In Kentucky, she attended for the first time America's most famous derby, after countless scores of equestrian events at home in Britain.
In Maryland, she watched as astronauts told by video-link of their work aboard the International Space Station while she visited NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center.
In Washington, she honored American soldiers at the National World War II Memorial, visited sick children at a hospital and stood graciously as the president started to suggest she had lived in the 18th century.
