EPA Quitting Fight Against Lead Poisoning
Lead poisoning is completely preventable but EPA is shirking its legal duty to take the last major step towards meeting the national goal of eliminating lead poisoning by 2010.
Please make your voice heard and send a letter.
October 13, 2008
Subject:
Dear Representative: As a lawmaker, you not only enact laws but make sure that the laws you have passed are followed. The Environmental Protection Agency is defying the will of Congress and endangering the health of America?s youth by failing to adopt tough effective rules for lead-safe repair and renovation of older homes. Congress told EPA to complete this last major step towards eliminating lead poisoning in America by 1996. Now, almost a decade past that deadline, EPA is only now taking grudging, tentative action, after its secret plan to abandon the rules was exposed. Please act to hold EPA's feet to the fire on this vital lead-safety measure. Sincerely,
We will add your signature from the information you provide.
