Greetings!
Feel free to share this post to anyone you think
would be interested.
The short story is that our government is about to vote on a
law that would basically make foreign chemical/pesticide companies immune from
being sued. Not sure why it’s only foreign companies, but I don’t want any
chemical company to have the immunity to not be sued if their products are
harming people or the environment.
I don’t know about you, but I have a problem with this.

Institute and that’s a good sign in my book 😊)…

So, I followed the instructions in the link below and called the 6 people under my birth month and left my opinion. Unfortunately,
none of these folks are in my district (and not sure if any of them are from
Long Island or New York).
I don’t know when the vote is scheduled for, and the email
below doesn’t say, so I think it would still be timely to make these phone
calls any time this week.
One person I spoke to said the phone number was only for
their constituents, but I told the woman that 1) This bill would affect me even
though I don’t live in their district, and 2) I would keep an eye out for who
voted for this and who didn’t, and would keep this in in mind in terms of party
campaign contributions I might make in the future. She said that even though it
was for constituents, she would take the information.
I also didn’t repeat the whole spiel. I said I
was calling to register an opinion on some upcoming legislation and said what
it was (Section 453 in the 2026 Interior Appropriations Bill) and that I wanted
it completely removed as I didn’t want to lose my right of due process.
Some asked for my name, some asked for name, phone number
and zip, some asked for zip and some asked for nothing. The ones that asked for
a zip code, I said that even though I’m not a constituent, this bill would affect me and that I didn’t want my right of due process to be taken away.
Take what you like, leave the rest, or don’t take any of
this at all!
Best wishes…suzanne
