>I'm not one to really recommend TV viewing. There are so many other, better

>things to do, and it's become painfully obvious in recent years that the

>beast we call the Tube, as a very general rule, is making our nation fatter,

>lazier, and likely more violent and less intelligent.

>

>But on March 26th at 9:00 pm, it's going to rock the boat. And we all ought

>to be there when it does. That's when PBS will air " Trade Secrets: A Moyers

>Report " (be sure to check your local listings for the exact airdate and time

>on your PBS station). Now any time Bill Moyers looks into something it's

>worth our time. But in this case, it's worth more than that because he's

>investigating the very thing I've been waiting for years for a journalist of

>his caliber to investigate: the chemical industry and its hidden toxic

>legacy. It promises to be a ground breaking program, one that at long last

>gives the chemical industry the glaring attention it so richly deserves. And

>I think even people like us, people who are already

>generally aware of the deadly practices and products foisted upon us

>by chemical companies, will be stunned by Moyer's revelations. I say

>this because the program is based on interviews with historians,

>scientists and physicians, and on a massive uncovered archive of secret

>industry documents that Moyers and producer Sherry Jones say rivals the

>now legendary " Tobacco Papers " for sheer, appalling shock value. What

>those papers apparently reveal is an industry that has put our health

>and safety at very dangerous risk and marshalled powerful forces in a

>largely successful effort to hide the truth at any cost. I urge you to watch

>this program. And more importantly, I urge you to gather others to watch it

>with you. While you and I will most likely tune in (I definitely will),

>we're already aware of the problem and its seriousness. But that's not the

>case with the majority of Americans. Indeed, research shows that most

>believe they're being quite adequately protected from chemical hazards

>by industry and government alike. That's hardly the case, and a respected

>journalist like Bill Moyers is just the person to make the point. That's why

>it's so important that the program be seen by more than the " converted " . I

>want it to be seen by everyone, especially those who are largely or wholly

>unaware of the situation. It might be a tough sell, but I think it's worth

>every effort each of us can make to make sure that all our friends and

>neighbors, no matter how politically uninvolved or environmentally unaware

>they might be, tune in and watch this historic broadcast.

>

>To that end, the Environmental Health Fund, the Environmental Working Group,

>the Center for Health, Environment and Justice, and Women's Voices For the

>Earth are launching Coming Clean, an effort dedicated to organizing

>community

>viewings of the upcoming Moyers Report and doing whatever we can to ensure

>that after March 26 on PBS, there are more people in more communities

>working to

>stop the chemical contamination of our food, bodies and environment.'

>PLEASE PASS THIS ALONG TO YOUR FRIENDS
