Getting the toxins out

Of the Bush government, of our children's toys. Start with this petition from Sierra Club:

Parents, local health departments, and children's health advocates have lost faith in the federal government's ability and commitment to protect children from lead poisoning. If the Consumer Product Safety Commission had the tools it needed to do inspections, then we could guarantee safer toys for our children. I call for the immediate resignation of Acting CPSC Chair Nancy Nord and nomination of a Chairperson and Commissioner with proven leadership on consumer product safety issues. We need more inspectors in the field and more testing of the products we buy for our children.

One by one, we will hunt down the incompetent cronies of the Bush administration and demand they resign or actually start doing their jobs. We demand accountability.

Remember what was allowed into the United States under the Bush administration:

Date rape drug:



Lead:





Anti-freeze:



Formaldehyde in baby clothes:



Poisons in pork and fish:



Melamine in both human and pet food:




And the reaction of the Bush administration? To try and hinder inspections, try and close half of the FDA's laboratories, and tell the American public that holding China to account would hurt the economy.

We demand accountability.
