Subject: RoundupDear Mr Helliker
Right at this moment over 1500 Australian troops are awaiting to attack terrorist groups in Afghanistan - we are supporting you and your country with our own blood.
At the same time Australian farmers and Government authorities listen to the US EPA regarding chemicals, including Roundup. Because they want to they believe the insidious advertising that Roundup is safe enough to drink they are spraying the chemical willy nilly around people, including me. After inhaling only a tiny fraction of Roundup my nose, inside my mouth and throat bleeds and I convulse; my doctors say I'm allergic to the chemical, but my country won't believe me. They would rather believe that the US EPA is infallible and do all the right things and wouldn't allow a dangerous product on the market without PROPER testing and severe warnings. Considering I have just completed reading over 3 000 documents pertaining to glyphosate/Roundup you and I know that to suggest Roundup is safe to use anywhere near humans is a lot of crap. Its shown to destroy cancer cells quicker than known dangerous chemicals The idea that the US EPA has overseen proper testing of Roundup is all a lot of nonsense - not just unscientific, but almost childish and niave - from the so-called Superpower. Unfortunately it's considered anti Australian/American to say anything publicly about the chance that US multinationals are in fact mass murderers (see Green Revolution where 1.2 billion people are now ill and 200 000 die each year from eating US designed/tested supercrops) and that the US State Department in conjunction with the US EPA and Monsanto are involved in a world-wide genetic selection experiment. (see Afghan kids sick from eating non-meat genetically engineered soy products thrown out of US war planes - possible arranged by ex-Monsanto owned company executives Donald R.) Unfortunately I believe it to be true and because I am suffering so severely from a product that YOU are responsible for allowing onto the market in such an outrageous fashion I wish the ancient Egyptian Prospectors Curse on you. May your life never be the same and may your day and nights be filled with the screams of children and may it travel down your line for a thousand years.
Have a nice life!

Subject: Pesticide Poisons
Dear Mr. Helliker:
A number of years ago, my family lived in California, a state I thought was "with it" about pesticides. While I was renting an apartment, the landlord decided to spray for ants. I had no idea that the ENTIRE building would be sprayed with a high power sprayer. At the time of the poison spraying, my family including my young child, was inside the apartment. Needless to say, the noxious odors came into the 2 story unit. The
sprayer sprayed all the windows and all the surrounding grass and the entire building. I do not know what he sprayed. A few weeks after this terrible pesticide assault, the sprayer came out again. This time, prior to his coming out, I called the health department and begged a representative to show up at my building at the same time the sprayer came with his truck. I told the sprayer in front of the health department rep that our 2 year
old cat had mysteriously fallen ill ! just days after that first poison spraying and our cat died within weeks; he was in pain and he became so thin. Our theory has always been that when the heavy rains came and our cat who was outside, must have drank or come in contact with some rainwater mixed with the pesticide poisons.
We have never forgotten that incidence and will always remember our cat, a victim of those poisons.
The sprayer left without spraying when he heard our story about our cat and also, because that health department worker had the decency to show up.
Our family is multiple chemical sensitive from this and other incidences. I can only hope you will do what is morally right and not allow pesticides to be used because their exists safe alternatives that will not harm any of us or the environment. I hope you will make an effort to not take the easy road, but instead take the high moral road and make a turn toward using safe, non toxic "alternatives" to those harmful and evil pesticides.
Yours sincerely,
John Sutton
