Dear Friends and Colleagues:
Do you believe human beings should be implanted with numbered RFID
microchips?
Neither do we. That's why we are organizing a march and prayer vigil next weekend to oppose the planned injection of VeriChip implants into
200 Florida Alzheimer's patients and their caregivers. If it's not stopped, these patients will be used as research subjects for an implant study to be conducted by the VeriChip Corp. and a Florida-based group called Alzheimer's Community Care.
Here are the details of our event:
March and Prayer Vigil to Protect the Vulnerable
Saturday, May 12, 2007
West Palm Beach, Florida 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM
* Pre-Event Presentation and Book Signing by RFID Expert Dr.
Katherine Albrecht 10:00-12:00
* Peaceful March to Alzheimer's Community Care and Prayer Vigil
1:00-3:00
For event details and to learn why we oppose VeriChip, see:

It's crucial that we stand up and speak out to oppose this plan. Here's why:
* Microchipping people as if they were dogs or laboratory animals is not just demeaning and dehumanizing. According to the FDA, it could be dangerous, too. The FDA has identified health risks associated with chip implants ranging from MRI incompatibility and migration of the implant to adverse tissue reaction and needle stick.
* Using Alzheimer's patients as research subjects raises troubling ethical issues. VeriChip must not be allowed to inject microchips into people whose mental impairments prevent them from giving fully informed consent. Medical ethicists strongly advise that vulnerable members of society should not be used to test controversial and potentially dangerous technology.
* Injecting an electronic device into someone's flesh without fully informed consent is as violent and invasive as rape.
Simply being unable to say "no" is not the same as giving consent. And for millions of people around the globe, receiving a numbered mark is one of the most serious religious violations a person can commit. This is not a step to be taken lightly.
Please join us on May 12th, 2007, for a prayer vigil outside of
Alzheimer's Community Care in West Palm Beach, Florida. If you can't attend in person, here are some things you can do right now:
* Visit http://www.AntiChips.com and click on "What you Can Do"

* Sign up for our free mailing list to follow this issue, as well as our other RFID, freedom, and privacy issues
* Download our model legislation and share it with your elected officials
We believe what VeriChip is planning to do is wrong. We hope you do, too, and will join us to give a voice to vulnerable members of society who cannot speak for themselves.
In freedom and in Christ,
Katherine Albrecht, Ed.D.
