It wasn't the strain and stress of having to be a single parent for Sharon, the wife of an army pilot and mother of two that tore her marriage apart -- it was the fact that her husband returned from Iraq a "changed man."
Have you ever thought about joining the military? I can't say that I ever have and here are some of my reasons. Please feel free to comment and add yours!
A plea from a fellow military wife and mother. Please read and watch the video!
Please support her and learn more about her cause by reading the email below and watching the video.
This is from Becky:
_Dear Parent advocate,
On May 3rd, 2008, I released a videotaped request that I sent to all three 2008 Presidential Candidates asking them if they would issue two Executive Orders should they be elected to office to begin to improve the safety of vaccines that are currently on the market. My name is Becky Estepp and I am both the mother of a child with autism and the wife of an actively deployed US Marine. You can view the video on YouTube on the links below.
I have asked all three of the campaigns to rsvp by Mother's Day to let me know if they will provide a videotaped response by Memorial Day this year. My husband won't be home for Mother's Day but will by Memorial Day and I can't tell you how much this would mean to him to have responses to these questions when he sets foot back on American soil!
My husband and I strongly believe that children should be both protected from diseases that could hurt them AND receive products that are as safe as possible that don't contain harmful ingredients and have been thoroughly tested before they are marketed. They are very simple, no-nonsense, fiscally responsible requests.
WHAT CAN YOU DO TO HELP ME GET THESE ANSWERS?
1. FORWARD THIS EMAIL with these 3 links your ENTIRE address book.
FOR MOTHER'S DAY: START LISTENING TO MOMS.STOP BLAMING THEM.

They took the harmful ingredients that some "say and think" were in vaccines out years ago. There is nothing in them that can cause autism anymore. Dont you find it funny that every kid with behavior problems in the last 10 to 15 years as been pegged with autism?
This is such an important issue. Government experts are always worried about a high enough percentage of vaccine uptake in the community at large. In this, they ignore the individual. The “radical” notion of questioning authority, studying the efficacy of vaccines, and making a decision based on the best interests of the individual, as well as society as a whole is what needs to be done. We must find a safer way to vaccinate those who cannot tolerate the one size fits all policy.
I am so sick of people still harping over a clearly-disproved "link" between autism and vaccinations. The more time and money people WASTE on this rubbish, the less time and money is spent looking for ACTUAL causes - and cures.
If you actually read ANY and ALL studies, investigations, papers, on this subject written by credible medical professionals, you'll quickly see that there is absolutely NO evidence to this whatsoever.
It's actually doing more harm to the kids by spouting off these blatant lies, and not getting them vaccinated when they should be.
It's interesting that it's all Mothers and Actors warning us ... do you wonder why it's not the doctors??
Conspiracy the doctors and Government don't care. Your blinded goodness you need to do your own research rather then be brainwashed.
