Important petition - or- sell your kids for $970

[Guest guest]

I'd like to think "IT CAN'T HAPPEN HERE", but in light of recent investigations of the FDA, I'm sure it can...Snopes (www.snopes.com) is working on an investigation.==

The EPA will be making a final decision within a matter of weeks regarding whether or not they will launch this study. In the meantime, it is crucial that tens of thousands of citizens share their concerns with the EPA about this issue.

Please send a quick email to your family and friends regarding the petition you just signed. Text of the email is below.

 

 

 

 

Dear friend,

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)is seeking input on a new proposed study in which infants in participating low income families will be monitored for health impacts as they undergo exposure to known toxic chemicals over the course of two years. For taking part in these studies, each family will receive $970, a free video camera, a T-shirt, and a framed certificate of appreciation. The study, entitled Children's Environmental Exposure Research Study (CHEERS), will look at how chemicals are ingested, inhaled or absorbed by children ranging from babies to 3 years old.

Please take a moment to follow this link and join tens of thousands of citizens in petitioning the EPA to terminate this study prior to its proposed launch in early 2005.
