The National Vaccine Information Center’s Advocacy Portal (http://www.nvicadvocacy.org) lists current vaccine bills throughout the U.S. Right now, it lists from one to six vaccine bills in each of 30+ states. Most of these bills, if passed into law, would further expand an already out-of-control pharmaceutical vaccine agenda that seeks to require more vaccines for more people while further restricting our right to refuse them. Join the Portal NOW to help defend vaccine freedom of choice!

Here’s a quick look at the authoritarian agendas being promoted by current bills around the U.S.:

The pharmaceutical vaccine agenda is playing out rapidly in state legislatures. We MUST speak out now, loudly and effectively, if we are to avoid becoming an authoritarian vaccine police state where everyone is required to get vaccine after vaccine with no right to refuse. In 2010, there were more than 330 vaccines either already on the market or in development. Now, in 2013, there are 250 vaccines either in clinical trials or already awaiting approval by the FDA.[1] There’s no light at the end of this tunnel. Join the NVIC Advocacy Portal—they’ve made it easy to find out what’s going on in your state and around the country, and to take action when that’s needed. I’m here to help as well in any way that I can. My list of past legislative projects is here: http://vaccinerights.com/legislativeprojects.html
