Malathion Poisoning In Texas - Way to Go Governor Bush! 

They have made it impossible for the farmers to refuse the aerial sprayings. They hold the money from the cotton sales until the farmers pay for the spraying's. Our whole community has become very ill over the past 6 years. (Another case of Profits before People!)

Dear Lyndon, I thought you might like to read an e-mail that I received from: ARTISTpres@aol.com Subject: Malathion problem in Texas-please help with info, advice etc. -To: undisclosed-recipients:; it was sent to Mr. Lederman (ARTISTpres@aol.com) on  06/08/2000 4:01:59 PM Pacific Daylight Time, From:  rsimon@westxs.net (rsimon)  Reply-to:  A HREF="mailto:mail@westxs.net">mail@westxs.net</A

 Dear Robert Lederman,  My name is Rhonda Simon, I live in west texas community of Colorado City Texas, Mitchell County. Our community is a farming community and lake resort community. Around the year of 1994 Texas Boil weevil Eradification moved into all of the communities of west texas and started spraying the cotton fields with malathion / fyfanon ulv. They have made it impossible for the farmers to refuse the aerial spayings. They hold the money from the cotton sales until the farmers pay for the spraying's. Our whole community has become very ill over the past 6 years. We have many small children suffering with cancer. I myself live at the lake. I recently got out and went door to door, to find clusters of cancer through out the neighborhoods. I have visited with many people in my community, that are chemically sensitive and physically ill from the spray. I have a son that is chemically sensitive and becomes very ill, and has to be relocated and moved each year during the spraying. My son's physician is Dr. William Rea @ the environmental health center in Dallas Texas. Dr. Rea's phone number is (214)368-4132.  Dr. Rea has told us that the malithion spraying is just as deadly as sarin gas. He says if we do not relocate our son out of this community, he will surely die. I have over the past few years, lost many friends, that I fell the organsphosphate has contributed to their deaths. Please send me all the information and contacts, that you have that can help me in this situation. I do believe this is population control and nothing to do with insect control!

Sincerely,

Well Lyndon, the list of "registered" POISON victims grows every day. When these poor souls complain or try to rectify the situation - they are often harassed or sued by the very POISON "industry" that has destroyed them! Many Doctors and "regulators" continue to pretend that the poisoning symptoms these innocent victims have - are all in their minds or that "registered" POISONS are "safe" and/or "protect"!  How can you ignore the cries of all these innocent people?
