I am writing you to let you know where I (one of your constituents) stand on a few issues. I am a parent of five beautiful girls. I want you to know that I one would not ever send them to a public school, and two will no longer have them vaccinated. I will get into the first now .
I believe that if I am going to pay for my child's education I should have the right to choose where and what type of education my child receives. After all it is my choice of how and in what manner my child is brought up. That right should also extend into the where, when, and how of education. I should not be denied this right because my family is lower income. I am not alone in this view. There are already programs in place to offer opportunities and choice in education in other states.
Giving a choice once only afforded by the rich, to families who can not pay twice for education.
Arizona, Florida,
Utah, and soon Texas will offer such programs. My belief is that Jesus should be the foundation of my children's learning. I have a freedom to believe that but not to implement it. Why? Because of my income level? That is just wrong. Let me assure you that
Colorado is going to follow right in the foot steps of these other states I mentioned. How do I know that? Because parents are going to rise up and demand it. The public school monopoly for low income children will eventually be a thing of the past. Remember you read it here!!!!
Now for the second statement I made in my opening paragraph. How in the world can
you with a clear conscience encourage people to inject FORMALDEHYDE into their children? This is a cancer causing chemical!! How are you going to be remembered? As one of those politicians who carelessly encouraged something that caused many to die of cancer? You will have to stand before God and answer that question one day. I will not allow poisons such as this and others to enter my children's bodies anymore!! If you care a thing about the children in your family you should think twice before allowing this atrocity!!!
Lastly, I want to tell you that the generation of parents coming up right now are not passive. We will be informed, involved, and adamant about what is going on with our children. We are sick of humanistic world views. We know that you gave us a metaphorical loaded gun when you passed out condoms to us in high school. The first thing a child wants to do when they receive something is to use it. Our parents may have blindly trusted the public schools and government, but we know better!!! We want better for our children!!! We want choices!!!!!
Sincerely,
Samantha Mirabal

By request I am adding a little more info. to this article.In reguards to my research about the immunizations. I am going to give the source I found these startling facts. Here is a quote from
"alive Natural Health Guides" which I bought from the Vitamin Cottage. The author of these health guides is Zoltan Rona MD. " Formaldehyde - The toxicity of this cancer-causing chemical should be of great concern to parents, especially when infants and children receive over a dozen different needles containing this substance before they reach school age. Formaldehyde can cause allergic reactions on both an immediate and delayed hypersensitivity basis, leading to potentially chronic immune system problems. According to the US Poisons Information center: " There is no acceptable safe amount of formaldehyde if being injected into a living human body. It is a toxic substance and should be avoided at all costs." So, there it is. I intend to read and research more on this subject. I also would encourage every parent who reads this to do the same.
