Read on to see how you can "march" with the ralliers even if you can't attend. Great idea!
Thousands Expected to Attend June Rally in DC - Register Online
Continuing the media momentum that began with Jenny McCarthy in 2007, and amplified by the Poling decision in 2008, Jim Carrey joins Jenny in inviting the community to attend their "Green Our Vaccines" rally on June 4, 2008 in Washington, D.C.
The event is co-sponsored by Talk About Curing Autism (TACA), Generation Rescue, HEAL Foundation - Healing Every Autistic Life and Moms Against Mercury. The aim of the rally is to focus attention on eliminating the harmful substances in vaccines and making the vaccine schedule safe.
The rally begins at 9 a.m., followed by a march at 10 and a press conference at 11, at which Jenny McCarthy, Jim Carrey, and members of Congress will address the media. In addition, there will be opportunities to meet with your legislators in the Capitol. This rally will make history, and everyone within reach of Washington, D.C. is encouraged to attend.

Can't Make it to the Rally? Buy a Puzzle Piece and Send a Photo 
Want to your child and family to be represented at the rally?

"Bernie was instrumental in starting me 9 years ago on the biomedical path to help my son Nicholas, now 11, diagnosed with autism. I was lucky enough to find ARI when I was searching for answers to help my son and when I called ARI, much to my surprise, Bernie answered the phone and told me all was not lost.
He guided me through the tons of information and helped me to find research on biomedical and behavioral interventions like ABA, VB, etc. I am asking for any parent who cannot come to the rally who would like to be represented to drop a picture of their child or loved one affected by autism into an envelope with a donation to ARI (minimum of a $1 please but feel free to give more!).
I will affix the picture with the name of your family, your
child's name, whatever you prefer to the puzzle piece and place
it on a sign that my son with ASD, myself, and my daughter can carry (or a banner if I get a lot and there is a need!) so your family can march with us in DC."
Thanks so much for helping support ARI and the Green Our Vaccines Rally!"

Awesome idea. I was totally planning on sending a big banner with my kid's photo on it to a friend in DC and asking her to march in our honor if we can't make it.
Still working on whether or not we can swing it to go.
