We have had LOTS of wonderful information come out since we held a fast as a group and I will begin sharing that with you over the next few days. One is important enough, it all is, but this is very critical information so I will get it right out tonight. I did not want to overwhelm you with it all at once.
Now . . . those of you who know me well know that I do not get political . . . UNTIL it comes to hurting people with these deadly drugs or killing innocent people.... Party means ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to me and never ever has. A man stands on his own merit. It should always be that way. We have not had a two part system in this country for decades anyway! We are just told that we do.
This time on the eve of this election I will not hold my tongue! I want you all to know a few things about Obama that you should know but may not know. Things that are so inhumane that I could NEVER support him
A couple of days ago I was shocked when speaking to a very close friend of mine, who is very much aware of the dangers of these drugs, to learn that he is supporting Obama. He was clearly completely oblivious to Obama's connection to the deadly Mother's Act. So, I want to make sure all of you are aware of that connection. But continue reading because it does not end with just the Mother's Act...... ...Now what connection does Obama have to the Mother's Act? Obama is the CO-SPONSOR, I repeat the CO-SPONSOR, CO-SPONSOR, CO-SPONSOR, not just a supporter or one voting for, but the CO-SPONSOR of this deadly Mother's Act.
Is he just unaware of what he is doing? NO! Obama is doing this even though he has admitted that he knows that Paxil causes potentially fatal birth defects to the heart of the infant as all antidepressants can do. He admitted this face to face to Julie Edgington, who asked him, while he was campaigning here in Iowa, to help her and her son who was damaged by her use of Paxil during pregnancy. Their story can be found in full along with pictures documenting what happened at: _http://bigpharmavic tim.blogspot. com/_ (http://bigpharmavic tim.blogspot. com/)
A good article on this act can be found below.

WND Exclusive LIFE WITH BIG BROTHER Government to test moms for baby blues? Bill pushes mental screening, dangerous antidepressant drugs
Pregnant and new mothers may be required to submit to government screening and treatment for depression if Democrats in Congress have their way.
The Melanie Blocker Stokes Mother's Act, or S. 1375, is named after a pharmaceutical sales manager who killed herself by jumping out of a window after receiving four cocktails of antidepressants, anti-anxiety and antipsychotic drugs and electroshock therapy following the birth of her child.
The Mother's Act would provide federal funding for a program to test women for depression, mood and anxiety disorders and postpartum psychosis. It would also supply government-determined "at-risk" mothers with antidepressant drugs.
From email:
"Now what connection does Obama have to the Mother's Act? Obama is the CO-SPONSOR, I repeat the CO-SPONSOR, CO-SPONSOR, CO-SPONSOR, not just a supporter or one voting for, but the CO-SPONSOR of this deadly Mother's Act.
I cut and pasted from the email to get to the point.
Here is some more relevant material.
Now if the connection between Obama and the Mother’s Act was not enough,
here is more. And I thank Marilyn, who has dealt with her own son’s SSRI-induced
nightmare for years, for sending this information.
Whether you kill a baby before or after birth or as it is being born does
not matter to me. The fact that you kill babies or condone the killing of
innocent human beings (and I know of none more innocent than a baby) is enough for
me to be vehemently opposed to you having anything to do with any position
of authority over me or my loved ones.
Abortion is a different issue, but know that I am completely opposed to it
and Obama supports it in every way there is. If you want that documentation
ask and I will send that on. But the following information makes me sick!
Obama voted against the Infants Born Alive Protection Act not once, not
twice, not three times, but FOUR TIMES. That is the act put in place to keep
anyone from assisting a baby that is born alive during an abortion. Instead they
allow them to die by not feeding them or assisting them in any way or do more
to harm the child to encourage death.
He also voted against a ban on partial-birth abortion in the Illinois state
senate.

Excellent alert, Machogirl. Thanks for posting it.
I’m passing it on to my email list.
Thank you. I hope it’s pinged to: Pro-life group, Anyone concerned with drugs given to patients without full explanation of it’s effects that can harm or kill in-utero children.
And to those groups opposed to Govt. control of citizens right to privacy and control of their own healthcare.
Could forcing these drugs be far behind?
With respect to SSRi’s they are NOT RECOMMENDED in pregnant women, esp during first trimester (organ development) and probably during the other stages for God knows what it does to their brains.
These drugs are not recommended and many have NOT BEEN tested or adequately tested on children, with or without their parents fully informed consent to the side effects which can be serious.
This group does good work and is fighting this act which Obama supports.
Women do get pre and post partem, but to force testing and then down the road to force drugs on women is an outrage.
Not to worry. The folks I emailed this to are already in strong opposition to the Mother’s Act and SSRI’s.
They’re also politically active, and will quickly pass your post along to Obama leaners. I just hope there are enough hours left for it to make a difference in the vote.
Not only that, but most of them go on to cause a worse depression in the patient than they started with.
Thank you. I just received this today. I’m sorry that it wasn’t sent to us before now. I can appreciate the struggle of Dr. Tracy. In her email she said that this was not an endorsement of McCain. Out of the big three (McCain, Obama, and Nader) she feels that Nader has done the most for their cause. I’m not sure how McCain figures into any support for this, but the fact that he was not listed as one of the sponsors says a lot.
They do. I know that almost all of the rage shootings with multiple deaths dealt with trouble teens, who were already troubled and then put on drugs which may have cause the rages and suicidal behavior.
These drugs are NOT RECOMMENDED for under 18, but are frequently used as young as 12. (SSRI’s).
Psychiatrists and Pediatricians frequently prescribe them. Usually the Pediatricians do NOT have the depth of knowledge on these drugs and IMHO these drugs have been promoted as “happy pills” with commercials suggesting that depression isn’t normal.
From my experience teaching elementary, far too many children are prescribed Ritalin, with heavy pressure from: schools, shrinks, teachers, counselors, to sedate the kids from behavior in many cases is “normal child behavior” ie “being a boy”, etc.
There are no long term studies on the effects of these drugs on children and with their rapid hormone escalation during the growing process and developing “brains” who knows what kind of chemical changes are happening and what physical and psychological changes happen down the road after years and decades of these SSRI’s (prozac being the decades drug)
Go to McCain’s website and find his position on mental health issues. His answers are (PC) non-answers.
Is he middle of the road?
I have no doubt that many people are helped in a critical situation by careful monitoring of these medications by the doctors that would know the most about them, but I believe that they are too easily prescribed without the patient aware of the side effects.
That doesn’t excuse the patient from pleading ignorance. There is information available, starting with the package inserts and if that didn’t scare a person enough to not take it or at least be very careful and vigilant, there is other databases of reliable information.
Read his answers on his website. They'll give you a better sense of where he stands than I could. I drew my own conclusions.
I will. I’m looking at him now at his rally in Prescott, that I was hoping to go to, but kids have to be in school tomorrow. He sure looks good for getting hardly any sleep the last week.
See Lindsay Grahamm and Leiberman. The look pretty energized too. Maybe they are just happy it’s over.
Obviously he must be in good health to endure the hectic pace and lack of sleep.
The man is unreal. I heard him on the radio a couple of hours ago and he sounded totally alive and energetic. Even the host commented on it. McCain just chuckled.
I heard Sarah on the radio not an hour ago, and she was just as up and energized.
I can’t tell you how Obama sounded. When I heard that he was up next, I turned the station.
Sounds like you’re in the Phoenix area. I was just there on business.
The way that I cut and pasted this has cause some confusion.
I DID NOT WRITE THE EMAIL. IT WAS SENT TO ME FROM Dr. Tracy , Executive Director of the NON PARTISAN “Drug Awareness Org.”.
She is not partisan in her updates but I thought that this email was TOO IMPORTANT NOT TO POST.
Obama supports this Mother Act.
She wanted to let people know that along with supporting a bill that might force pregnant women to take drugs that are known to cause birth defects. ANOTHER REASON TO NOT VOTE OBAMA.
My cut and paste job wasn’t self-explanatory and has led some freepers to think that I’m not POLITICAL OR PARTISAN.
That was Dr. Tracy stating that.
I am proud to be a CONSERVATIVE, POLITICAL AND PARTISAN.
I apologize for the misunderstanding.
