The link to original Change.org "Autism Reform Act of 2009" has been changed dues to the deliberate attack from obvious motive from our medical insurance and pharmacy companies.

We are frustrated at the recent action which has change the link.

What kind of "attacks" caused the change of address? Was it simply trolling or did they try to hack something?

I wouldn't put it past them if they did go through all the trouble to hack the site. Corporations can do some really nasty things when they are threatened with profit loss, and the sad part is that they have the money needed to hire the lawyers needed to get away with pretty much anything but murder, not to mention bribing about half our justice system. They're more mindf**ked then the people whom they provide pharmecuticals for (that is a fun word to say, I mustve used it at least 3 times in reference to people like this and like Autism Speaks.)

I am against it. It is poorly written, vague and in several cases... wrong.

I suspect the big pharma registered a bunch of sock accounts and bumped up a suggestion that was better for them or they submitted a similar bill and bumped it up or both. IIRC people do the same thing with the digg system, inflating popularity and all that and there are commpanies who get PAID to do this.

The chanspeak term for this is 'samefagging' as well it's easy to pretend to be several different people on an anonymous imageboard. That's my first guess looking at the change.org site.

There you go. We have a possible theory on some occassion attack on Change.org

I know there were flooding technique that occur otherwise the server wouldn't be taking the abuse.

This isn't a law binding contract as it have to be written by lawmaker.

This is an idea and the idea that will reinforce the problem concerning medical/therapies bills and safety in education.

This stuff is so rigged that it isn't even funny. Like the .gov/.org/edu crap for gays and lesbians, autistics, etc. , etc.

I remember that cigerette companies paid lot of money to scientist to cover evidence that smoke is bad for people's health.

Same example.

Money = power Good Vs. Evil, both use money.
