If there is no other issue that makes you cry like a baby, have a tantrum over this one.

Read the report with things you can do, documentation and a perchlorate timeline; it will make you sick, particularly if you live in California or Texas.

We don’t yet know all the ways these chemicals impact human beings — autism, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, cancer, ADD, ADHD, learning deficits, infertility, or the disease that too often invades my mind – migraine?!? We are poisoning our environment and ourselves.

In California, we’re fortunate to have Sen. Barbara Boxer and  Rep. Henry Waxman working to advance the Kid-Safe Chemicals Act. Where do your representatives and senators stand on it? Most have Web sites with phone numbers or easy forms for you to contact them, find out and tell them what you think.

Please read, research, be aware, call or write to your local, state, and federal representatives, vote, join activist organizations, and be heard. We try to save or protect the whales, the dolphins, the wolves, the wilderness… how about trying to protect our babies — and in turn, save the humans?
