April, if you live in WA state or know anyone who does, we need help with Morgan's bill being presented to the committee next Tuesday, 2/10/09 - we need people who live in the districts of the legislative reps to send emails support this bill - soon to be called Dennis Lindberg Act:
Morgan’s bill is being sponsored by our local representatives - it is going before the committee next Tuesday, Feb. 10thin Olympia. Morgan will testify to the 7 representatives sitting on this committee. WE NEED YOUR HELP to support bill #HB1759. Morgan will ask for it to be called the Dennis Lindberg Act.
We need constituents who live in the following districts to email the representatives on this committee, since they are the ones who will be hearing the pro and con testimonies and making the final decision: 8th District, Larry Haler (Benton County); 16th District Maureen Walsh, (Walla Walla County); 26th District, Jan Angel and Larry Seaquist (S. Kitsap County and Pierce County); 32nd District, Ruth Kagi - co-sponsor of the bill, N.W. King County; and the 45th District, Roger Goodman (N. King County). IF YOU LIVE OR KNOW OF SOMEONE WHO LIVES in these districts, please send an email supporting this bill #. See below for navigation on the legislative web site of how to do this.
To monitor what's happening in Olympia, go to
www.leg.wa.gov By clicking on bill information you can obtain the text of the bill. Also you will see a pink e-mail sign that says "What is this?" Click on that and it will tell you how to "subscribe" to an RSS feed that will e-mail you as actions are taken on the bill. You can also click on Agendas to see what bills are on a committee's agenda and when the committee meets. And you can call the House Early Learning and Children's Services Committee at 360-786-7160 to get information about meetings and agendas also.
This is such notice - we just received the recommended bill from our representative. It isn’t completely what we wished to have but are told it is a step in the right direction and can lay the foundation to revisit and take the bill further in upcoming sessions. We understand a bill similar to this was presented in 2001 and did not pass (CPS testified that a bill like this will increase their work load). The fact that we are attempting this again, with legislative support, is encouraging.
We have had to remove the religion aspect and we cannot yet address the mature minor “label” by doctors and courts. But we have to start with something - and it actually makes Dr’s and CPS act immediately if a child is at “substantial risk of harm or death” due to refusal of medical care, instead of going back and forth as it happened with Dennis. Also, a guardian ad litem will be assigned to the child to ensure that what is best for the child is performed, not what the child/parents want, IF they do not have their own attorney. Of course, JW have their own attorneys, but this could help children of other religions who do not support life saving medical care.
Thanks for your help!
Gary, Jan, and Morgan Curry

Thank you all so much for the info. It is a great help!!! I'm going to "discuss" this with her now.

She told me last night that that is what she loves so much about the borg. That it changes with new information. I guess that's what they tell themselves now. I told her that sure wasn't a good thing for all those who could not receive blood factions years ago. No reply yet.

I will update as she gets backed into a corner and disappears.

Ok, Alpaca....

I searched for over an hour and could not find direct publication quotes. Only a reference to a 1950's belief that Satan scattered the bones to confuse people. I'm a night owl anyway.

I searched everywhere, and just knew that you guys could help me. PLEASE??????
