“I have to tell you, Lisa, I went through many pages on your site and was flabbergasted at the beauty, simplicity, articulateness, but mostly the ENORMOUS amount of incredibly helpful material to ANYONE no matter where they are in their transition to Real Food.  I’ve not seen any WAPF chapter website so thoroughly engaging with their members and so utterly well stocked with information.  All the links!  All the pages!  All the quality information.  Both my co-chapter leader and I were both floored.  All your info is up to date with multiple events and activities.   We were astounded by the amount of time and work put into your site, and your group.  It was all so encouraging.  

I also saw you have a fb group and a fb page.  It appears the group is meant for event announcements and notices, and to point the way to the fb page, which points the way to the website.  And then you have a IG account on top of it all, with great pictures.”

It is so nice to hear that someone appreciates the website!

If you haven’t visited our website, please do! The information is there for YOU! The local people of Eugene/Springfield and nearby areas.  We try to make it as helpful as possible.  Here are a few of our pages you might want to view:

Help stop meningococcal vaccine mandates

This comes to us from the Weston A. Price Foundation.  You can find your Representative here:

https://www.oregonlegislature.gov/FindYourLegislator/leg-districts.html

Please call him or her.  It only takes a couple minutes.


ACTION ALERT

Help stop meningococcal vaccine mandates

The Oregon Legislature may soon be considering a bill, H.B. 4157, which would require meningococcal conjugate vaccines for students 11 years of age or older; and Serogroup B meningococcal vaccines for students 10 years of age or older.

Please help us STOP this bill by contacting your Oregon representative today! Let your legislator know vaccines are a medical decision that carries risk and should be left up to the individual, not mandated.

Talking points, which explain more about the problems with H.B. 4157, are below the Take Action section.

View H.B. 4157 here: https://olis.leg.state.or.us/liz/2018R1/Measures/Overview/HB4157

TAKE ACTION

Contact your district Oregon representative and ask him/her to OPPOSE H.B. 4157. You can look up who represents you at: https://www.oregonlegislature.gov/FindYourLegislator/leg-districts.html

Calls are more effective than emails, and only take a few minutes.

Sample script:

“Hi, my name is ____ and I am a constituent. I am calling to ask Representative ____ to OPPOSE H.B. 4157, which would mandate meningitis vaccines for 10 and 11 year-old school children.

Vaccine mandates are contrary to the concept of informed consent for medical procedures.

According to the CDC’s website, meningitis vaccines can cause serious allergic reactions and injury, including death. In addition, the CDC acknowledges that they have limited data on the efficacy of these vaccines and that meningococcal disease is at a historic low in the U.S.

I urge Representative _____ to oppose H.B. 4157.”

If you send an email, be sure to personalize it. You may wish to use a couple of the talking points below. Don’t copy all of them – just use them as ideas to help structure your own message.

Tell Congress to support local meat production

This comes to us from the Weston A. Price Foundation. If you haven’t yet called or written, there is still time.

Last November, we asked you to contact your Congressional representative to urge passage of the PRIME Act, which would make it easier for small-scale livestock producers to sell meat to local consumers. Since that alert, several more legislators have signed on as co-sponsors! Now, the best chance for getting that bill passed is to attach it to the Farm Bill – and we need your help to get even more co-sponsors to make that happen.

Read More >>

Our local Representative is Peter DeFazio. His phone number in Washington DC is: 202-225-6416
Please call and urge him to co-sponsor H.R. 2657, the PRIME Act.

(I called, it took less than 2 minutes)
