Petition text:
Senator, I believe that every citizen of this country has the right to a fair pursuit of justice when wronged.

The drug companies are attempting to move Frist Bill SB2053 forward
quickly. It is set for a hearing in front of Sen Kennedy's Health
Committee.

I am asking you to refuse SB2053 (the "Frist Bill"). It is
anti-child, pro-corporation and anti-justice.

The Frist Bill addresses thimerosal and is specifically putting
corporate welfare before that of our children. Thimerosal is a
mercury-based preservative that may have damaged thousands of
children. These children and their families have the right to
pursue this issue in court. The Frist Bill blocks that right
unilaterally and in perpetuity in all venues.

I ask you, Senator, as a protector of our nation to choose our
children over the corporations in this matter and stop the Frist
Bill from going forward.
