WAYNE, NJ, FRIDAY, October 16, 2009 AT 4PM

THIS IS YOUR ONE CHANCE TO RALLY IN SUPPORT OF VACCINATION CHOICE IN NJ THIS YEAR.

Yes!! New Jersey does plan to sound off loudly on the failure of our politicians and candidates to raise the topic of vaccination choice. The entire NJ Assembly is up for re/election and the Governor's race will also be decided on November 3rd. We rallied loud and strong last year at the nation's first "freedom of choice rally" in Trenton on October 16, 2008, an event that drew 700 participants and national media attention (scroll down for press on last year's event).

Across the country, one-third of parents and half of all adults refuse to get the swine flu shot. Americans are more aware than ever of the importance of vaccination choice. Living in the number vaccination state in the country, New Jersey parents are no exception. We are expecting huge crowds, with a sold-out arena for the debate, all major press outlets offering coverage, and many hundreds rallying for vaccination choice.

Life Health Choices and the New Jersey Coalition For Vaccination Choice warmly invite you to join us, exactly one year later on October 16, 2009, in Wayne, New Jersey as we enthusiastically greet the three gubernatorial candidates running for the plum spot of the Garden State's chief executive, commonly regarded as the most powerful governor in the fifty United States.

In partnership with Generation Rescue and Autism One, our New Jersey rally kicks off a national neighborhood campaign that will demand the parental right to vaccination choice in every state in our country and help for our children who are chronically ill and developmentally impaired at an alarming rate (autism now 1 in 91).

If this issue is important to you, please remember that you don't get too many opportunities to stand up for your rights and send a strong message to political candidates while the media is already in attendance, just moments prior to a televised debate during one of the most hotly contested gubernatorial elections in recent history. We need you in Wayne on Friday.

And stay tuned


After the October 16th event, but before the November 3rd elections, we will also be visiting the home turf of one of our most egregious, unloved senior Assembly legislators who has been a stalwart opponent of vaccination choice in all its forms. He threw us (and our bill) under the bus when we tried to remove thimerosal from vaccines. We'll be telling you... and his voters... the full story.

He may be the first but he won't be the last. All legislators who do not support choice are on notice. You failed to listen when we rallied in Trenton last year. New Jersey demands vaccination choice.
