DESCRIPTION:Green Sunday:  Mothers and Scientists Stand Up to Big Pharma: The Case for 
 Opposing SB277 (the Mandatory Vaccination 
 Bill)\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\nThe 
 Green Party of Alameda County invites you to a Green Sunday informational 
 panel and discussion about California SB277, a recently-introduced bill 
 that would eliminate the Personal Belief Exemption (which in California 
 includes the religious exemption) from the 33 childhood vaccinations which 
 are mandatory for attending a daycare or classroom-based school.\n\nWow, 
 talk about a juicy controversy! My rights vs your rights! Risks vs 
 benefits! Communicable disease vs. chronic disease! Nature vs. nurture! 
 Fraud! Science! Police powers! Profit-driven healthcare! Who can we 
 trust?\n\nCome watch the sparks fly ;-)\n\nThe speakers will cover as much 
 of this complex issue as they can in our short time. Each of these 
 panelists brings a different perspective to the subject. The format will be 
 a 45 minute presentation by the panel, followed by 45 minutes or more of 
 Q&A from the floor.\n\n\nPANELISTS:\n\nChristina Hildebrand is a market 
 researcher with a degree in Statistics and modeling. She also owns a Weston 
 A Price based food delivery service in the Bay area. Over the past 10 years 
 she has conducted over 7000 hours of research on vaccines, including 
 consulting with many leading vaccine researchers, in a quest to understand 
 the reality rather than the hype of vaccines. She now believes SB277 would 
 violate parental rights, because if there is a risk, there must be a 
 choice. Christina will be talking about the history of mass vaccination and 
 diseases, the change in vaccine schedules over the years, as well as the 
 ingredients in vaccines, and how they need to be greener and less 
 toxic.\n\nTerry Roark is an East Bay native and surviving parent of a 
 vaccine injured child. She advocates for informed consent and vaccine 
 choice. A long time volunteer with both The National Vaccine Information 
 Center ( http://www.nvic.org/ ) and http://www.parentalrights.org/  She 
 will share her son’s tragic story — of vaccine injury as an infant, his 
 lifelong suffering with severe autoimmune disease and his death at the age 
 of 39 — to honor him this Mothers Day.\n\nDave Rana, PhD, PsyD is a 
 scientist and psychologist with an interest in social justice. His concerns 
 are primarily with our biological environment — e.g. our food, our 
 exposure to environmental pollutants, and our medicine — and their impact 
 on behavior. These are all areas in which our regulatory systems are 
 failing to protect us, via the corporate-government revolving door, and 
 more critically, through the corruption of the science on which regulatory 
 decisions depend.\n\nModerator:\nTina Kimmel, PhD, MSW, MPH is on the Green 
 Party of Alameda County’s County Council. She was a Research Scientist 
 for the CA Dept of Public Health’s Immunization Branch, and the head of 
 the Personal Belief Exemption 
 program.\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nAlso, 
 Darryl Cherney will speak at 7:00 pm:\n\nAfter a short break, environmental 
 activist and musician Darryl Cherney will make a short presentation on his 
 exploratory run as a Green Party candidate for President as well as talking 
 about the upcoming events around the 25th Anniversary of the car bombing of 
 Judi Bari and himself, which happened near Oakland High School.  (For more

 ).\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nWHEN: 
 Sunday, May 10th, 2015, 5:00pm SHARP to 6:45pm. Doors open at 
 4:45.\n\nSPONSOR:\nGreen Sundays are a series of free programs & 
 discussions sponsored by the Green Party of Alameda County.  They are held 
 on the 2nd Sunday of each month. The monthly business meeting of the County 
 Council of the Green Party of Alameda County follows at 7 pm. Council
