Default Ban Asbestos Bill in Congress

Hi,

As you know many buildings and building materials contain asbestos.
While asbestos is banned in many countries it is not banned in the
United States. There is currently a bill in the U. S. House of
Representatives to ban all new asbestos in the United States and to
provide funds for medical research into asbestos-related diseases,
such as mesothelioma, so effective treatments and a cure can be
found. There is currently no federal funds for research into asbestos
related diseases. Help make that change. Write to your U.S.
representative to vote for the bill to ban asbestos and provide
research funds for asbestos-related diseases so effective treatments
and a cure can be found. Remind them that the ban is not enough since
it doesn't help people already sick and who will become sick with
asbestos-related diseases due to past (which could have occurred
decades ago) or future exposures. These people need effective
treatments and a cure. That takes federal funds allocated for medical
research into asbestos-related diseases..There is a link at

from which you can write your U. S. Representative.


More undeserved money for the lawyers. That's all.
