As Obama's motorcade drove up to Murphy's house, he waved from his car to a group of about 50 people rallying on a nearby lawn to express their concern about what they consider excessive vaccination of school children.

Ron and Louise Habakus, former investment bankers and neighbors of Murphy, organized the rally in hopes that Obama would meet with them briefly. The couple described themselves as friends of Murphy and said their demonstration was not aimed at either party.

"This is bipartisan. People don't realize how little research is done on vaccines," said Ron Habakus. "There's an epidemic going on."

The couple has two boys aged 4 and 7. Louise Habakus said she began intensive research on vaccinations after both children as infants suffered severe inflammatory bowel disease. She and others in her group, New Jersey Coalition for Vaccination Choice, believe a host of childhood ailments could be side effects of vaccines.

Gov. Jon Corzine stopped to speak with the group on his way out of the fund-raiser. "We get more e-mails and letters on this than any other issue other than tolls," he said. Corzine told the group he would arrange to have them talk to state health commissioner Heather Howard.
