Dear CASPIAN members and supporters:
Did you get a copy of your local paper this weekend? If so, there's a good chance it ran the explosive AP story on implanted microchips causing cancer in laboratory animals. And you'll want to save it.
Thanks to the AP, people everywhere now know the truth about implantable cancer chips. This story is HUGE and it's growing bigger by the minute. It has already been picked up by an incredible 300+ news outlets across the Internet
...and the bloggers are going nuts, too.
(Click up these links and grin - it will do your heart good!) 
This kind of negative publicity spells the beginning of the end for VeriChip and their plans to chip us all like bar coded packages of meat. And it comes not a moment too soon, if recent glowing media stories about VeriChip are any indication.
As you will recall, on Good Morning America just last month millions of people watched in horror as a doctor injected a VeriChip into the arm of a 92-year old man. See the video clip here.
"I don't think there's anything to worry about," said the man, as the chip slid into his flesh.
Do you think he would say that today?
No way! That's because we've stopped the freight train.
This weekend, as they opened up newspapers around the nation, your fellow countrymen and women woke up to the dangers of VeriChip -- and recoiled in horror.
They took a nauseating look at the color illustration showing how the VeriChip implant stimulates the development of cancer cells in dogs. They took a gander at the photo of former HHS Secretary Tommy Thompson, the Washington DC fat cat and long-time Bush crony whose dealings with the FDA and subsequent compensation package from VeriChip have raised a lot of questions.
Readers may have seen a photo of me standing in the library stacks. As you may recall, I filed a Freedom of Information Act request with the FDA in 2004 when the agency approved the VeriChip because I instinctively knew these implants could not be safe. I am also the researcher who first brought the cancer studies to AP's attention and provided additional information throughout their four-month investigation.
Of course, my Spychips co-author Liz McIntyre has also been deeply involved in this issue, devoting her amazing research talents and years of effort to uncovering VeriChip's downsides. We wouldn't know a great deal of what we know without her.
And Liz would like to credit another very special woman, June [Jeanne], the owner of Leon the bulldog, who first told us about the cancer problem. When this brave lady discovered that a cancer chip had killed her dog, she didn't give in to despair. Instead, she rolled up her sleeves and found a veterinary expert who would look at the evidence and publish the story in a medical journal. Thanks to June's perseverance, Leon's tragic death may save the lives of countless other implanted dogs.
Liz has posted a moving tribute to June and Leon here.
As you can imagine, bringing this story to light was a long and arduous process involving many people -- and much work. If you have a copy of the newspaper, read it slowly and savor our victory. It's a victory for us all.
Save the article and put it in a special place. When you find yourself getting discouraged and believing that the little guy can't win, remember Leon, and June, and Liz, and me, and all the other little people who have taken on the behemoth and won. Margaret Mead was right when she said that a few committed people is all you need to change the world.
As the war on our freedoms heats up and begins raging around us like a wildfire, keep the faith and remember this day. Smile as you remember how a few gutsy women and a crackerjack reporter poked Big Brother in the eye and brought down one of the most menacing corporations on the planet.
Hooray!
