 Action Items: grassroots Resistance to Medical Tyranny
NewsTarget is working to organize grassroots resistance groups in New Jersey and Maryland. Our philosophy is to promote non-violent, grassroots education and action designed to restore the freedom of choice to parents. We are against the mandating of ANY form of dangerous medicine, including fluoridation and vaccination.
We are currently looking for volunteer leaders who are on the ground in Maryland and New Jersey. We have legal resources who have already offered their assistance. |

 Based on the loose use of logic in Washington these days, and the slippery interpretation of the meaning of words, "force" could mean:
A grassroots campaign to barrage Congress with faxes
A non-violent street protest
A letter-writing campaign that deluges the Senate with too much mail
A sit-in protest that blocks access to a business or organization
A grassroots e-mail campaign that overloads the e-mail servers of any government department or agency
You get the idea. "Force" could be defined as practically anything. |

 Grassroots activism
The next thing to love about America is grassroots activism. In America, people feel the need and have the motivation to stand up and speak out about a great many things. People hold public rallies and marches and grassroots events. They will rally together for an important cause, such as saving the environment or saving the whales or overturning unjust laws. Americans tend to be activist-oriented, and to me that's a healthy sign of the level of freedom in a country. |
| Certainly there are improvements that could be achieved, but we've done a great job so far.

 The response to this grassroots action campaign will tell us the answer. Either we will see corrections printed in these media outlets, or our requests will be ignored. I personally have no idea which way these organizations will go with this item, but I am deeply curious to find out.
I have no desire to publicly embarrass these media outlets. Rather, I hope to simply wake them up to the fact that intelligent readers won't put up with lazy journalism that refuses to ask fundamental questions before reporting the "facts" on significant scientific studies. |

 This grassroots consumer action aimed at Coca-Cola follows the hugely successful effort launched earlier this year to pressure Pepsi into making the same admission on its own branded water product: Aqua Fina. As reported by NewsTarget on August 2 of this year, Pepsi was bombarded by consumer complaints and, in response, agreed to add the phrase "Public water source" to their bottles. As I mentioned in that article, it's not a crystal clear phrase that openly admits the water comes from the tap, but it's a step in the right direction. |

 Though they were unable to prevent the California Safe Cosmetics Act, the industry "mobilized unprecedented communications, grassroots and policy efforts," according to Pamela Bailey, and "together we achieved a bill in California that was much improved from the original proposal."
CTFA had also been on a hiring spree: new lobbyists on staff included John Herson, former majority leader of the Maryland General Assembly, and Elvis Oxley, son of US Congressman Mike Oxley (R-Ohio) and former director of the Ripon Society, a Republican lobby group. |

 One early (1986) grassroots volume for and by AIDS patients, for example, had this to say:
We believe that the AIDS virus particularly strikes individuals and groups who have been isolated by the dominant culture. ... It is this isolation, often internalized as self-hatred or lack of self-acceptance, which allows the AIDS virus to begin to incubate once it has entered the system. ... It is no coincidence that the rise of AIDS has to a large extent coincided with the recent upsurge of right-wing political and religious repression of gays. |

 Most tend to cover news from an independent, grassroots point of view.)
In this new WebSeed Citizen Journalism program, participants ("reporters", who may be located anywhere in the world) are given a topic ("beat") to cover, such as food safety, the FDA, prenatal nutrition, or other topics. Using a web interface, they submit stories to NewsTarget editors who review the stories for publication on NewsTarget.com and other sites.
These stories are published underneath a Google Adsense banner belonging to the reporter. |

 Mike Adams—a consumer advocate and investigative health journalist for whom I have enormous respect— launched a grassroots campaign by readers to demand retractions, corrections, or clarifications from major media outlets "all of which," he says, "printed incorrect, incomplete, or misleading statements concerning the results [of the study]."
"If you're going to count the results of all the women who don't take the supplements, why not simply launch the study, give vitamins to no one, then announce the conclusion that vitamins don't work?" asks Adams. |

 I've philosophically supported the OCA for years, and I trust the judgment of Ronnie Cummins, who I know to be a champion of grassroots consumer protection. Ronnie does not carelessly accuse a $100 million corporation of fraud, and he has worked tirelessly over the years to speak out for the interests of consumers.
I see these events as a large, powerful corporation attempting to steamroll small consumer protection organizations that are reporting the truth about Aurora's milk products. |

| With a growing focus on these developments, both medical research and grassroots patient activism began to shift toward building on the promise of conventional molecular approaches to fighting the disease.
Nevertheless, the early years of the AIDS crisis created a lasting legacy for the stories our culture would tell about the meaning of stress. They taught us that the modern era had not escaped the age-old plagues of infectious diseases after all; and they also taught us that the well-recognized syndrome of modern life, stress, had a reach that had not previously been suspected. |
| In the second half of the 1980s, as the AIDS epidemic hit and mainstream medicine failed to offer patients effective treatments, positive thinking emerged here too as an important part of the grassroots response to the disease, particularly within the hard-hit American gay community. Believing they had been abandoned by the mainstream medical profession (in part, many thought, because people did not really care if homosexuals died), a radicalized community of HIV-positive patients decided they would simply refuse to believe they were going to die. |

| Today, NewsTarget announces a grassroots action campaign to demand retractions, corrections or clarifications from major media outlets -- Fox News, ABC News, CNN, Reuters, WebMD and more -- all of which printed incorrect, incomplete or misleading statements concerning the results of an antioxidant study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine.
The study clearly showed that women who took vitamins E and C experienced a statistically significant and rather remarkable reduction in risk of heart attacks (22 percent reduction), strokes (31 percent reduction) and other cardiovascular events. |

| For some, the call to positive thinking became the basis for a grassroots political movement of its own. In 1994, a Pennsylvania newspaper profiled a new patient-advocacy AIDS group that called itself "Positively HIV." Its founder, an HIV-positive gay man named Gary Hite, was described by the journalist as someone who defies the stereotype of a person who is HIV positive. With his large build, he's robust, not emaciated. With his sharp mind and engaging personality, he's energetic, not sluggish. . . . Hite also relies on his upbeat attitude, "I accept the fact that I'm HIV positive. |

 Getting involved in grassroots activities and political action groups and backing politicians who are committed to taking back the environment are critical if we hope to leave the legacy of a cleaner environment to our children's children. But the whole planet is not going to be saved from decades of chemical degradation overnight. In the meantime, we need to find ways to lessen the burden of chemicals and potential triggers with which we may come into contact. |

| Lisa Archer, the new grassroots organizer for the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, thought the women's march was the perfect place to debut the campaign's message of toxic-free products and toxic-free bodies. The work was closer to her heart than most people knew. Though raised in rural Wyoming, Lisa had long worried about the environmental problems of the world. The issues really hit home when, at age 12, she learned her mother had breast cancer. "How could this be happening?" Lisa wondered. "There's no breast cancer in the family. |

 They've both become grassroots experts on the subject of exercise and the brain. They learned by grilling speakers from the conferences Lawler organized, attending sports physiology seminars, reading neuroscience research papers, and constantly e-mailing their findings to each other. And they've taken it upon themselves to educate their colleagues as well. It's not uncommon for Zientarski to buttonhole an English teacher in the hallway and hand her a stack of the latest brain research — homework from the gym teacher. |

 I have long believed that positive, long-lasting social change—characterized by greater patience, tolerance, and fairness—is best accomplished on a grassroots, one-to-one basis. For example, we cannot legislate the eating habits of millions of adults; however, people in many communities have successfully urged their governments to prohibit the sale of junk foods in public schools. It's a small step, one of a great many steps to be taken, but an important step nonetheless.
It's also important that we relearn how to connect with other human beings, to break bread with them. |

 NewsTarget is launching a grassroots action campaign to file an avalanche of complaints with the relevant Maryland officials, demanding that they reverse their position on this issue and apologize for threatening to throw parents in jail for refusing to have their children forcibly vaccinated. We believe that Attorney General Ivey -- a Democrat -- should be ashamed of himself for invoking such tyrannical actions against his own people, and that judges William Missouri and C. Philip Nichols Jr. should be rebuked for conspiring to threaten the free people of Maryland with imprisonment. |

 I have consistently advocated non-violent protests and grassroots action campaigns that can work towards a better future for all Americans.
I believe that we must do everything in our power -- in a non-violent way -- to take back our freedoms, our privacy and our power. And we must do it NOW, before the United States of America collapses into a bankrupt police state, drowning in a worthless U.S. dollar, with rampant hyperinflation and a massive expansion of police powers.
There is only one Presidential candidate who even has a shot at delivering this, and his name is Ron Paul. |

 For starters, he's raised more money online -- and garnered more grassroots supports -- than any presidential candidate in U.S. history!
Let's face it: All the smart people are supporting either Dennis Kucinich or Ron Paul. It's the not-too-bright, do-as-they're-told mainstream idiots who are supporting Clinton, Guliani, Huckabee and other mainstream candidates. Obama's supporters are somewhere in between: At least Obama is a bit of an outsider, and he's a far better choice than Clinton for numerous reasons. |

| Goliath battle that's pitting a wealthy corporation against the high integrity, grassroots philosophies of the OCA and Cornucopia Institute. Based on what I know about this situation, I believe Aurora to clearly be in the wrong here, and I think this corporation is lying to consumers by playing games with the definition of "organic." It's getting away with it because the USDA favors corporate interests over consumer interests and has no real intention to enforce genuine organic standards. |
