The legislature has officially moved forward with the Philosophical Exemption to Immunizations Act. I am grateful for the sustained commitment shown by this community throughout the process. We will continue to monitor the implementation of this policy to ensure that parental rights are respected.
Suffolk County Assemblyman Marc Alessi recently introduced the Philosophical Exemption to Immunizations Act to New York State Legislature\'s health committee. This bill will allow parents in the state to opt out of vaccinations for their children. Right now, there are 18 states that give parents this right, the remaining states allow medical and religious exemptions. The parents of New York should have the right to make medical decisions for their children, not the state or school administrators. Please support Assemblyman Alessi\'s Philosophical Exemption to Immunizations Act by signing this petition.
*New York Senator Frank Padavan also introduced an indentical bill to Legislature.
The momentum behind this petition is increasing as we approach our next objective of 250 signatures. Please encourage your acquaintances to review this legislation so we can present a stronger case to the health committee.

Finally some common sense. We need to be able to decide what goes into our own bodies.

Medical freedom is the only way forward. My child belongs to us not the school board.

This is about freedom. Why is NY so far behind the other states?
