What can YOU do to help protect innocent children?

Please show your support for MGM Bill:
Comment to the online articles in the links below
 
Help enlighten the masses by speaking in favour of Massachusetts Senate Bill 1777 and against infant circumcision!  Login daily (or more often if you can) to the websites below have 'comment' sections and NEED your input!  The alarm has been sounded on some of the pro-circ sites -- the MGM Bill's day in the State House is truly "the shot heard 'round the world" for intactivists!!!  You can bet the people that believe it's a parent's right to mutilate and maim their children will be speaking out -- and those that already have harmed their children will defend their decision, as not to admit any possible wrong doing.
 
I know you can't possibly reply to each and every message, but please tick the "LIKE" or "thumbs up" buttons (or 'report abuse' for off-topic/hurtful messages or click the "thumbs down" button).  An influential voting member of the committee COULD be reading and may vote upon what they perceive as "public opinion"!

Also, be sure to spread this message to your family and friends, you need not be a U.S. citizen nor a Massachusetts resident to speak out!! 
 
Like I've said in several interviews: At the very least this is raising awareness of the issue and getting parents and people to discuss it before signing consent for a procedure that could harm their child.  As for passing a law to banish the procedure, even I said in the Worcester Telegram, “Our bill doesn’t stand a snowball’s chance in hell of getting passed”; however, criminalizing circumcision by making it illegal (MBM Bill) is only ONE avenue intactivists are pursuing.  Others actions include:   
  • Getting circumcision de-funded by many health insurance companies and Medicaid (14 states do far!)
  • Educating the masses online, in print, on television, on billboards and more -- making parents aware of the consequences of their actions and making those injured by circumcision also aware.
  • The pièce de résistance will take place in 2014 when males circumcised after September 30, 1996 (when the U.S. FEDERAL FGM law went into effect) will become adults.  With the help of our agencies, there will be a LOT of angry, educated, circumcised 18 year old men who will sue individual States and the United States Government for not enforcing the law protecting their genitals from mutilation without gender bias under the 14th amendment to the United States Constitution.  If that's not good enough, with circumcision rates estimated to go below 50% by 2014, circumcised men will become "the odd man out" and we'll see more charges of assault against doctors, hospitals, insurance companies and parents!  (They love to sue in the United States.)
The saturation of information about circumcision, as facilitated by the uncensored internet is helping to get the word out avoiding religious/zionist censorship in the mainstream United States media.  People are learning.  Comments can be seen from people from the rest of the civilized world, calling infant circumcision barbaric.  People are questioning tradition, religion, their health care providers and circumcision.
 
I can pretty much assure that there will be a recommendation for circumcision from the CDC soon.  We need to be ready for this.  It will feel to be a crushing defeat.

It is ILLEGAL in the United States to circumcise girls. Therefore, according to the 14th amendment, boys are guaranteed equal protection under the law.  One of the problems with that is that many people see female and male circumcision as totally different things. Many people who view female circumcision as barbaric, but view male circumcision as perfectly acceptable.
