Wow. Didn't take me long when doing research on this homeschool group to find some pretty interesting background information on the founders of this group.

Here is what I've found thus far:

COALITION FOR RESPONSIBLE HOME EDUCATION:

BOARD/FOUNDING MEMBERS LIST:

WEBSITE OF ONE OF THE FOUNDERS WHO WAS A FORMER QUIVERFUL HOMESCHOOLED CHILD:

So, when gleaning the above information, it wasn't too difficult put together somewhat of a picture. One of the founding members is a Pediatrician; the others seem to have come from homeschooled families and those families were fairly conservative, right wing Fundamentalist families. SOME of these members seem to have broken off from their Fundamentalist upbringing and are now claiming THEIR way is the CORRECT way to homeschool...

...and I'm assuming this also means they are PRO vaccination and are now pushing for this as well.

Political/Big Pharma front? Perhaps not directly, but clearly when skimming through the bios of some of these individuals, it is apparent that at least one of them is connected to big pharma by profession and the others most likely are wholeheartedly pro-vaccine and thus, are pushing their beliefs regarding homeschooling and vaccination, via this coalition.

I've looked at the Coalition for Responsible Homeschool Education in the past. They appear to be an antagonistic watchdog group fixated on control and regulation. They are not your typical homeschool org.

ASD father,
This was on the Referendum Facebook page yesterday:
"At least one homeschooling organization—The Coalition for Responsible Home Education—believes in adding homeschooled children to the law."

"It is irresponsible to exempt homeschooled children from medical requirements designed to protect children's health," said Executive Director Rachel Coleman in the organization's statement. "Creating a system where parents can homeschool to evade medical requirements, rather than because they believe homeschooling promotes their children's educational or social well-being, does children a disservice. Homeschooling is a serious commitment."

I loved Patricia Finn's talk from Autism One that I watched online. She is optimistic despite facing years of struggle with the legal system. Still, what choice do we have but to keep struggling, keep pressuring the system. I do think that incrementally more people are becoming aware of vaccine dangers and eventually this is bound to influence the attitudes of the judges. Maybe a break will come from farther down the judicial food chain like in the cases of shaken baby syndrome. My son is unfortunately completely bamboozled by the medical creed of vaccinate, vaccinate, but recently he was talking about parents who have gone to prison unjustly for shaken baby syndrome. If it starts getting around legal circles that vaccines are producing these "shaken baby" symptoms, then the concept that vaccines might cause sudden infant death, and autism won't seem so outrageous.

In her Autism One presentation, Patti Finn appeared to emphasize that the petition to the Supreme Court in Philips vs. City of New York rests on the issue of due process. It would seem to be a slam-dunk, since the Fifth Amendment clearly states that "No person shall be . . . deprived of life . . .without due process of law . . . ." And little Mary's doctor is certain that another vaccination would be fatal. I'm pretty cynical about the courts. Reading the Constitution is somehow comforting, but do we still follow it?

Bob,

I agree with you, but it all comes down to whether you believe or don't believe in vaccine damage. If you believe vaccines are safe, as I regret to say that most of my erstwhile friends do, then it makes sense to force all children, even all people, to be vaccinated to prevent even five people a year from dying of a vaccine-preventable disease. IF vaccines were as safe as water, and if the big picture did not require people to train their immune systems by practice on real diseases, then I don't think it would be a matter of parental choice, but more what kept people from suffering and dying of preventable diseases.

But vaccines are not safe and could never be safe. You could screen children for specific genes and family history of this or that, give weight adjusted doses, and so on, but the bottom line is that vaccines are dangerous, many, including me, believe that every vaccine given to anyone does some degree of damage to the brain and the immune system (etc.). Holistic veterinarian Dr. Marty Goldstein says that vaccines are the ultimate zero sum game: what you give to one area (specific immunity limited in duration) you take away from another. Vaccines in the big picture weaken the immune system, leaving it vulnerable to other diseases, or even the same one: many children got Hib meningitis shortly after getting the vaccine. Hib meningitis incidence quadrupled in twenty-eight years, probably because the pertussis vaccine was weakening all babies' systems. The DPT was suspended during polio outbreaks because it so obviously increased the risk of severe and paralytic polio in those who had gotten the DPT in the preceding month.

It really is a religious war. Our opponents seem to be blind and deaf to reality, and it's hard for me to understand. Most appear to have been cognitively damaged by their own vaccines, and think that Me Tarzan, you Jane, is sophisticated discourse. Disease BAD, stop disease GOOD. I understand the lure of $$$ for everyone benefiting from pharma dollars, but there are a lot of people who went on auto-pilot after the polio era, and just don't think that anything has tarnished the luster of that fool's gold, vaccines. HARD for me to understand how they could attribute SO many people's first-hand accounts of vaccine damage to stupidity or ignorance.

Did you guys see that Dorit put up an article at Voices for Vaccines about all the vaccines she got in her recent pregnancy? Flu shot last September before she knew she was pregnant, then the hep-A AND hep-B series, and the Tdap in March. Baby boy born in June. I would LOVE to know if she really did that, criminal negligence for sure, and I'd love to know if she really believes what she said about how necessary they were, she just doesn't know how her first son squeaked by unaffected by her not having gotten any vaccines in her first pregnancy. And will we ever know if her second son turns out to have been damaged by her prenatal vaccines?

Totally weird this belief that vaccines are pristine elixirs of life, the more the better. It's so fantastical that I really do think it's looking increasingly like the bubble that Michael Belkin wrote about. He thought that like the dot com financial bubble in 2000, and the housing bubble in 2008, that the vaccine bubble is so silly, so foolish, so destructive, and yet with millions putting all their trust in it, billions riding on their promotion, that it is sure to burst soon. Boy, I hope so!

Yes, it's become clear only civil disobedience and outright refusal of the vaccines' poisons can carry the day. The mildest form of "civil disobedience" will be millions more parents will homeschool their kids. Possibly, as David Taylor noted in earlier post, riotous resistance 100+ years ago may be not only inevitable, but necessary - there is no way American parents will board the trains going to Vaccine-Auschwitz.

Otherwise, Henry David Thoreau is a timeless non-violent example: Thoreau went to jail for refusing to pay newly imposed taxes. When Emerson came to bail him out, and asked 'What the Hell are you doing here in jail?" Thoreau answered: "Why aren't you in here with me.?"

Nobody should pin their hopes on Court Decisions.

A GRIMM FAIRY TALE

HELLO PEOPLE ……THE REAL “HUNGER GAMES” HAVE STARTED, ALONG WITH “THERE WILL BE BLOOD”

The well-orchestrated “measles outbreak” at Disneyland was planned for December, right before the beginning of the Legislative sessions in all States, including California. It was obvious to any thinking person (or perhaps those who have watched House of Cards) what the government was readying for the American people. It worked so well. The political Right and Left agreed that the “science was settled”. The media, owned and controlled by Pharma, was able to whip the public into a Frankenstein-type frenzy, pitch forks and torches ready for the unvaccinated. Bills were already in the desk drawers of State Senators, waiting to be introduced.
Since the passage of SB277 in California and the stripping of parental rights, the next blow to freedom is imminent. The medical/pharmaceutical/government triumvirate will drive the final nails into the coffin of American liberties.
The ultimate control over the argument of informed consent regarding vaccination, for children AND ADULTS, is yet to come. It will happen in August or September, before the Million Man March in Washington, D.C. on October 10 or the planned March on the CDC, scheduled for October 24, 2015. The Supreme Powers do not want either of these events to occur because it will shed light on CDC Whistleblower William Thompson and inform the populace, especially the black community, about the corrupt CDC and its lies regarding vaccine toxicity.
America will endure another staged “outbreak”, a more terrifying one, such as ebola, anthrax, or smallpox. It will be linked to “terrorist” attacks. Surprisingly, vaccines for this outbreak will be available for many people. The unvaccinated will be clamoring for them. Soon there will be enough vaccines for every man, woman, child, baby in the U.S. This is the opportunity the medical/industrial complex has been waiting for. An opportunity to have a RFID (id chip) in a vaccine that is immediately mandated for everyone in the U.S.
Our country will be under martial law. All travel, national and international, will be suspended. Anyone who refuses to be vaccinated will be quarantined at home. Proof of Vaccination cards will be issued. FEMA camps will be waiting for those who openly protest and are uncompliant. Those who question vaccines will be considered ignorant and also UNPATRIOTIC! That is the real operative word here, Katnis – Unpatriotic. Brave New World.
Stay tuned for future sequels. They will surely dazzle you.

“A state of war only serves as an excuse for domestic tyranny.” – Alexander Solzhenitsyn

"Anyone who places faith in America's judicial system, especially today's Supreme Court, to make a fair and impartial decision on this issue is living in Disneyland.

Overturning the smallpox vaccine mandate in 19th Century England required more than evidence of a massive number of cases of vaccine injury and death from those filthy injections of cow pus. Change required rioting in the streets and battles with police.

With today's corporate-controlled media and for-sale politicians, I doubt that even large-scale civil disobedience in America will make much difference.

Patricia Finn is a true warrior. I will be at the CDC in October. But I will be there for my conscience, not in hopes of making any change."

David, you made my day. THANK you for speaking the plain truth with all of this. I've been called a negative Nancy on more than one occasion by well meaning, although slightly misdirected, warrior moms.

I have also alluded via various posts here, as to my familial connections to government. I know how these guys operate and it isn't for the public good.

The more WE push back, the more THEY do. And they WILL continue to push and push, until all hell breaks loose. I have been stating for quite some time now, for at least a decade, if not longer, that what we NEED to have happen to effect a shift in this paradigm is a million man march.

So, on the one hand, I am thrilled to see this rally IS going to happen come October. On the other hand, I'm not holding my breath as to any perceived outcome.

I don't believe in false hope...at all, but maybe with this one instance re the rally in October, I'll give it a try.

Excellent article, Patricia. Thank you for bringing this legal case to our attention. I am unfamiliar with the Supreme Court process. Does what you wrote mean this case is in consideration to be heard? And if yes, how does that get decided, by whom, and what is the timeline?

In my second rally speech opposing California's SB277, I covered the fact that vaccines are experimental medicine. I am posting the link for anyone who might be interested to watch it:

I recently watched Patti Finn present to Autism One on youtube. Excellent talk is from this past June.

The best we can hope for is the corrupt vaccine cartel has finally "over-reached" .. using a manufactured "crisis" .. the 160 measles incidents this year .. as their "opportunity" .. to push all state legislatures into following California's unconstitutional assault on a parents "right to make informed consent decisions regarding the medical treatments the State will require their child receive."

Consider .. it is no accident that 35 States had legislation bills ready to introduce the moment the "measles outbreak" became headline news on all major television news outlets at the same time.

Got to hand it to them .. their marketing people know how to create a "national crisis" when it serves their best interest to do .. and .. their effort is as well-coordinated and planned to take full advantage of that "crisis" .. as was Ike's invasion of Normandy.

As I said .. our only hope is they finally have "over reached" .. raising the only question that should be asked of all those politicians seeking our votes in tonight's debate:

IF ELECTED PRESIDENT .. WHO WILL DECIDE WHAT VACCINES A CHILD RECEIVES .. THE WINNING POLITICIAN ON THAT STAGE ... OR .. THOSE PARENTS SITTING IN THAT AUDIENCE AND THE MILLIONS WHO WILL BE WATCHING HOW THAT QUESTION IS ANSWERED.
