UPDATE: JENNY McCARTHY'S "GREEN OUR VACCINES" RALLY JUNE 4 IN DC!
Managing Editor's Note: We will be live blogging from the rally. Find me to get your picture on the blog! I'll be wearing a green t-shirt... KS
NEW YORK, May 27, 2008 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ ----Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey will lead the Green Our Vaccines march, rally and press conference on Wednesday June, 4th at the Capitol Building, West Capitol Grounds in Washington, DC. The sponsored event has been organized by Talk About Curing Autism (TACA), Generation Rescue, Healing Every Autistic Life, and Moms Against Mercury.
McCarthy, author of the best-selling book "Louder Than Words: A Mother's Journey in Healing Autism," and Carrey have joined forces with national advocacy organizations in the battle to eliminate toxins from children's vaccines and to encourage national health agencies to reassess mandatory vaccine schedules. While they do support immunization, like many parents and experts in the medical community, McCarthy, Carrey and their many allies feel that children are receiving too many vaccines, too soon, many of which are toxic. Their goal is to demand a safer vaccine supply and schedule for children.
"This day will go down in history as a time when parents' voices and their message to change the vaccine program was finally heard and acted upon," said Jenny McCarthy.
Families from across the U.S. are already committed to marching for safe vaccines and the numbers are growing. "Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey are heroes to hundreds of thousands of families who love a person with autism and for all families who want safe vaccines that are toxin free. Their desire to help and be a vocal instrument of change are warranted and greatly appreciated," said Lisa Ackerman, TACA Executive Director.
Participants will gather at 9 am at the Capitol Building, West Capitol Grounds. The march will promptly begin at 10 am with a Press Conference immediately following.
Sponsors & volunteers of the rally include: Generation Rescue, Healing Every Autistic Life, Moms Against Mercury & TACA. Over 39 other autism and environmental groups have signed on showing their support for the Green our Vaccines march & rally.

Tanner's Dad,
I want to call extra attention to what you just said.
Autism can be prevented, and that's what the June 4 rally is all about--saving other children and their families from the nightmare of autism.
Autism can also be reversed. Someone will see your words, maybe a parent who had been "on the fence" about biomedical treatment, and start healing their child.
A woman with a 6 year old son has been writing to me over the last month or so. She's trying to use the GFCF diet, but has only gone CF so far, and not completely.
Her pediatrician, her husband, even her sister-in-law are *ALL* ganged up on her and discouraging her. Maybe I can point her over here to see what you and Tanner have to say.
I'm crying from both joy and sorrow at your journey with Tanner.
How beautiful it must have been to hear him say those words! Thank you for sharing it here.
Terri
