2. ELI STONE – ABC Pilot Drama

Dear Family & Friends:

AN EXTREMELY important actionable that need to be done THIS WEEK. Please forward this note far and wide.  Please take 2 minutes to take action.

ELI STONE – ABC Pilot Drama:

It is almost heroic that ABC got a pilot out during a writers' strike. Even more heroic to go against the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) with its controversial subject line:  Attorney fights for a family of an ASD child and wins in a big pharmaceutical law suit that contends autism was caused by vaccinations.

NEED MORE BACKGROUND?

Whether you agree or not – this is something that is historic since I have been involved in the Autism Journey. This type of drama can be instrumental in providing a thoughtful discussion into autism and the possible relationship to vaccines.

PLEASE participate in the following actionables:

  1. WATCH IT on ABC January 31st

  2. EMAIL everyone you know to watch it

  3. COMMENT - even more importantly WRITE PROACTIVE COMMENTS AND THANK ABC FOR HAVING COURAGE GOING AGAINST THE AAP.  Censorship should not occur in the U.S.A. and we are thankful that ABC was able to deal with this powerful force. Please go to the following links to comment:

    1. ABC.com

    2. ABC Feedback

  4. OMNIBUS FAMILIES: Call your local new agencies and ask them to do a follow on story on a TRUE CASE. The show story line in true in your family’s case and that they can do a fresh, news story about your family.

The show will be available to watch online Friday, February 1st.

With great thanks and respect,

Lisa @ TACA
