Action Alert from our friends at REACT (Rubbertown Emergency ACTion) in Louisville.

Contact Congressman John Yarmuth & Congressman Ed Whitfield and ask them to send a representative to the Toxic Chemicals Safety Act of 2010 hearing this Thursday, July 29th at 10 AM in the Rayburn Room 2123.

Congressman John Yarmuth: 1-202-225-5401

Congressman Ed Whitfield: 1-800-328-5629

HB 8520 is a bill we MUST support. This bill brings us closer to making sure our exposure to toxic chemicals from smoke stacks and consumer products (i.e., toys, baby bottles, etc.) is reduced. The bill not only deals with testing chemicals prior to them being released into the market place but also includes environmental justice provisions that would help those communities, like those near Rubbertown.

Additionally, Ed Whitfield is on a key committee and needs to hear from us.

Please take a few minutes to call and feel free to use the verbiage above to let the congressmen know this is important to you. Then let us know how things went.

Thank You!
