ChemLawn's Potent Cocktail

When I asked ChemLawn not to spray because we were poisoned two years ago, they answered that it was their right to spray.

Dear Mr. Helliker, I thought you might like to read an e-mail I just received:

Just wanted everyone to know that TruGreen ChemLawn will be coming out tomorrow next door to where we currently live . They are going to apply a chemical poison cocktail sure to cause evironmental harm and human harm. They are going to use: prem 3.3, TruPower, and one other herbicide poison whose name escapes me. None of these chemicals have been tested to be used as a "soup". They all supposedly do the same thing so why use all three?? TruPower; carries a "Danger" warning on its label. 

When I asked ChemLawn not to spray because we were poisoned two years ago, they answered that it was their right to spray. (two years ago they sprayed near my residence in winds gusting to 25 miles per hour). What this tells me about the chemical companies is simple. They have the power to cause harm--irreparable harm-- and they like using that power. As long as people don't speak out, sue, etc., as long as the chemical companies can get away with denying us our constitutional right to breathe clean air, they will. That you can take to the bank.

It is so important for us all to bond together and bring these corporate goons in front of congress. Hitler had the power, too. The chemical companies need to be stopped, now.. TruGreen ChemLawn is a chemical poison company that doesn't care if you get poisoned. I know that, first hand.

Well Mr. Helliker, Do you really want to tell Fairfax and all of your other communities, that these POISON applicators are "certified" to "safely" apply your "registered" POISONS? What testing has ever been done on the synergistic dangers from all of these active and ""inert" ingredients? 

Respectfully, Stephen L. Tvedten
