Tell Senator Kraus-Stop the Attacks on Working People


Tell Senator Kraus - Stop the Attacks on Working People

Dear Sherri,


This week Senator Kraus will be holding a series of town hall meetings in your community.  Please sign up to attend a town hall meeting and let Senator Kraus know you are opposed to Paycheck Deception, attacks on the Prevailing Wage and Right to Work for Less. The dates and times for the town halls are at the bottom of this email.

This past week, Senator Will Kraus voted in favor of Paycheck Deception. This legislation which makes it more difficult for union members to give dues to their union and makes it more difficult for workers to have a say in their workplaces.  We need to stand up for workers in Missouri and urge Senator Kraus to oppose any anti-worker legislation.

This week we will also begin doing weekly canvasses to let Senator Kraus' constituents know they need to contact him about these important issues.  Please contact Kansas City organizer Justin Stein at Justin@mojwj.org or 816-8905-2385 to sign up for a canvass shift or RSVP to one of the town hall meetings below.

Federal Court Admits Hepatitis B Vaccine Caused Fatal Auto-Immune Disorder | The Liberty Beacon

Federal Court Admits Hepatitis B Vaccine Caused Fatal Auto-Immune Disorder | The Liberty Beacon


The United States Court of Federal Claims sided  with the estate of Tambra Harris, who died as a result of an auto-immune  disease called systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The court awarded $475,000  following her death after finding the hepatitis vaccine caused her injury in the  form of SLE. But this near-admittance of a cause-effect relationship between the  vaccine and the illness and subsequent death isn’t enough. No, we still give the  shot to babies.
So, what is hepatitis B and why are we told that it is so important that  newborn infants are vaccinated against it? Hepatitis B is not pleasant and can  be deadly. But newborns (and the vast majority of people at any age) aren’t at  risk of contracting the disease. It’s spread by contact with bodily fluids, as  in through unprotected sex or dirty needles.
The risks associated with the hepatitis B vaccine are far more pressing than  the risk of contracting the disease, says Dr. Jane Orient of the Association of  American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS). “For most children, the risk of a  serious vaccine reaction may be 100 times greater than the risk of hepatitis  B.”
Still, newborns are given the vaccine within moments of entering the  world.
