[NVICL] Forced vaccination & list of lawyers

Sent: Saturday, April 09, 2005 1:08 PM
Subject: Re: [NVICL] Forced vaccination

I have also compiled a list of lawyers and resources which, reportedly, have some interest in vaccination issues. If the parents in question are not claiming a religious exemption, I am not sure whether lawyers or the organizations can help much... but might be worth a call or two.

Liberty Counsel wins religious exemption lawsuit in NY..

Federal Court Tells New York School District To Honor Parents' Religious
Belief And Orders School To Admit Student Who Refuses Vaccinations

Rochester, New York - Federal Judge Michael Telesca ruled in favor of JoAnn Curtis, on behalf of her daughter Bryanna Curtis, against the Hilton Central School District and ordered that the 5-year-old girl be allowed to attend kindergarten without being immunized. The parents and student were represented by Attorneys Mathew D. Staver, President and General Counsel of Liberty Counsel and Joel Oster, Litigation Counsel for Liberty Counsel. State law provides exemptions to the vaccinations for medical reasons and to those who object based on religious grounds. Bryanna's parents, who are Roman Catholic, are opposed to immunizations for religious reasons. They believe that their body is the temple of God and that they should not defile their body with immunizations. In addition, several immunizations are derived from aborted fetal cell-lines, and they believe that injecting their bodies with such immunizations promotes abortion and violates the Fifth Commandment, "Thou Shall Not Kill"
Judge Telesca said Mrs. Curtis "demonstrated that her religious beliefs were genuine." "This court may not pass on the wisdom of [Curtis'] belief, nor on the manner upon which she came to hold that belief, provided that she maintains a sincere and genuine religious objection to immunization," the judge said in his ruling. Mrs. Curtis said, "I was just following my heart and God's command on my heart."
Staver said, "This case represents a great victory for religious freedom." Attorney Oster, who argued the case in federal court, said, "Subjecting parents to detailed and intrusive investigations, such as what Mrs. Curtis encountered, not only violates the United States Constitution guarantee of religious freedom, but also hearkens back to the Inquisition.

BY STAFF WRITER JAY TOKASZ A 5-year-old Hilton girl will be allowed to attend kindergarten without being fully immunized, under a federal court ruling issued Wednesday. The Hilton Central School District can no longer prohibit Bryanna Curtis from attending its schools because she hasn't been vaccinated against measles, mumps and rubella, said U.S. District Judge Michael A.

Here is where the various legal actions are:
Ostrom v. O'Hare (CFB)

I spoke with the CFB attorney.  They plan to make a motion to dismiss.  We agreed on a discovery schedule.  Our scheduling conference is in two weeks. I discussed settlement and set forth all of our arguments.  She said she would get back to me with the Board's decision.

Lerman v. BOE

The Brennan Center's amicus brief got bounced and since ours would have been much later AND the issue had been so well briefed by the Brennan Center AND I had a music copyright trial that lasted a full week, we did not submit an amicus brief.  I did reach out to Anita Lerman and I think she appreciated our good intentions.  Several good things came of my efforts, however.  We have established a relationship with the Brennan Center, which will start to provide free legal help to the party on certain voting rights issues. Please do not call them, since this is not an open offer to provide legal help, but just on particular electoral issues.  Those issues include many that we have identified as "the lawsuit".   Check out their website at www.brennancenter.org and you will see their Lerman brief - again, an important issue.

"The Lawsuit"

Since we did not go for injunctive relief, there is no hurry, and Craig is still gathering horror stories on voting irregularities.  We think that machines are only one issue.  A key CAUSE of all the problems and voting irregularities is a lack of Green representation on each of the various Boards of Elections throughout the State.  The Brennan Center has agreed to do the research on trying to hold the entire Board of Elections unconstitutional because Greens have no representation, leading to such egregious wrongs as we have just witnessed in the past primaries. Additionally, I am exploring the possibility of registering the national trademark.  If I get the ok (that is, the money for the filing), we can seek not only trademark rights in the name "Green", but the COLOR green and stop the Democrats and Republicans from printing green ballots throughout the USA.  The Brennan Center gets a lot of Summer interns in May and can throw a lot of attention at it.  Just so everyone knows, the Brennan Center helped a private law firm represent John McCain in opposing the New York Republican Party's restrictive ballot access rules.   We are good lawyers, but these people are real heavy hitters and would lend huge credibility to our struggle.  Although the process is a little slower, we will continue to work with them - it's like having a huge law firm back us up.  A word to all: lawsuits take forever.

 Lerman v. BOE

The Brennan Center argued Anita Lerman's case today before the Second Circuit and did a fantastic job.  Attorney Jackson Leeds also showed up to represent a signator of a petition. I think that they will succeed in having the witness residence requirement stricken as unconstitutional.  The judges seemed very open to the arguments and the BOE attorney was poorly prepared.   Anita was thrilled at having Green support and said that she believes that the decision will do much more to help the Greens than it will to help the Independence Party.

For those that are not familiar with the facts, Anita was a witness to a petition for someone outside her election district.  The BOE voided all 79 signatures on the petition.  If the signatures on the petition had been counted, the candidate would have appeared on the ballot.  Due to the BOE's action, the candidate was excluded.  Anita challenged the constitutionality of the BOE's action and her suit was dismissed.  She appealed and that's what was heard today.

"No longer should parents sit and take the BS that School District Attorneys try. I know every single game in their book. NOBODY has to be an Attorney to do a Due Process - so what does that say about them ????? Simple....  It means you can beat them by yourself....  go to http://www.wrightslaw.com and learn all you can. When you file due process, follow it up with motions regarding the Honig and other federal case laws you will learn about at wrights law.   DO NOT be intimidated. Thats like an elephant being intimidated by an Ant. Remember,  these attorneys are no better at a due process then an advocate. Advocates are the true lovers of the children.....
