Lawmakers Who Want to Test PESTICIDES On Your Children
The Boxer Amendment to the Interior Department spending bill essentially makes it illegal for the EPA to test pesticides on humans, including pregnant women. Let's say that again. Illegal for the EPA to test pesticides on humans, including pregnant women. The amendment passed today, 60-37. More on the future of the amendment in a moment. First, have a look at the Senators who want to test pesticides on your children:
Alexander (R-TN)Allard (R-CO)Allen (R-VA)Bond (R-MO)Brownback (R-KS)Bunning (R-KY)Burns (R-MT)Burr (R-NC)Chambliss (R-GA)Cochran (R-MS)Coleman (R-MN)Cornyn (R-TX)Craig (R-ID)Crapo (R-ID)DeMint (R-SC)Dole (R-NC)Domenici (R-NM)Enzi (R-WY)Frist (R-TN)Grassley (R-IA)Gregg (R-NH)Hagel (R-NE)Hatch (R-UT)Inhofe (R-OK)Kyl (R-AZ)Lott (R-MS)
Martinez (R-FL)McConnell (R-KY)Roberts (R-KS)Santorum (R-PA)Sessions (R-AL)Shelby (R-AL)Stevens (R-AK)Sununu (R-NH)Thomas (R-WY)Vitter (R-LA)Voinovich (R-OH)
What do they all have in common? That's right! Republican to a one. Democrats? Are you paying attention? Make an issue of this during the mid-terms. Every single one of these "lawmakers" should be vulnerable on this, because going beyond "they want to test pesticides on your kids" takes nuance. And republicans don't do nuance, unless you're Dick Cheney spending time looking up 'throes' in the dictionary. But I digress.
Back to the Amendment itself. It will probably be killed in conference committee. Democrats, however, can keep it alive by making issue ads in every state these jizzbags hail from.
