Bravo, and congratulations!
THANK YOU members of the House Appropriations!
We are thrilled that section 453 the pesticide immunity shield has been removed from the House spending bill!
Our moms and many others have been emailing and calling feverishly since New Year's Day.
Rumor has it that, consequently, elected officials saw this section as a "Poison Pill" meaning it would kill the chance of the bill passing.
That's not all that a pesticide immunity shield would kill- it would kill our soil viability, our water quality, and potentially hundreds of thousands of Americans from cancer, chronic disease, and miscarriages. We are grateful to the citizens of America and the elected officials who had the courage to speak up.
