Good Day to you Kim,
I am somewhat aware of the campaign against pesticide testing on
children thanks to Mike Weaver's recent post in which he wrote:
"If you haven't already done so please learn more and send an instant
letter to the EPA here (public comment period expires Dec.12)
http://www.organicconsumers.org/epa6.cfm";
The site is impressive. It provides easy to understand wording of areas
where loopholes exist in the proposal that would allow unscrupulous
pesticide testing on children. The site also made it easy for me to send a
message to the appropriate agency. (Not what I thaought of when you
mentioned sending a postcard).
I also visited the site you quoted: www.moveon.org .
It was another impressive site; and suspect it is an effective way to
mobilize opinion. It also includes a way to send a message to the
appropriate.
I have been called stupid .... I prefer ignorant. I didn't know about
these sites, and thank you ( and Mike) for bringing them to my attention. Do
you (or anyone else)know of any sites specifically developed to help keep us
biodiesel homebrewers in the US in the know regarding proposals that might
impact our rights/abilities to continue brewing? .......
And to send a message to the appropriate person/agencies should the need
arise?
Thanks,
Tom
