Hi Erin

Our dear friend was poisoned by the water at Camp LeJeune when he was there during the Vietnam era, and has suffered cancer as such.

There was supposed to be a class action lawsuit on behalf of the veterans who were there; when I asked him about it last, he replied:

They’re just waiting for all of us who were there to die!

He’s 82.

I just read an article how a shower filter company know more about how bad our water is than our government now that is sad facts.

It never ends and the ones who could put an end to these careless spills won't for a variety of reasons, which we know by now it's about money.

Are we EVER GOING TO HAVE GOOD LEADERS?!?! Arghhhhhh

We will, but it's going to be us that make it happen. Like for example research the people we are voting in. AIPAC is no longer on the table, citizens united has got to go.

All politicians are corrupt and in the pockets of big businesses

When the EPA (environment Protection Authority) is toothless or gone and the Food and Drug safety are gone you have no one to force compliance or even register events for some future action.

Perhaps also research the same sort of spill on Oʻahu, courtesy of the Navy….these people put a fuel storage tank RIGHT ABOVE THE AQUAFER THAT FEEDS LARGE PORTIONS OF OʻAHU😢😡

Also check where your bottled water comes from as sometimes in the past in Australia we have found bought water can just be tap water. Go back to tank water and clean your own water, good clean water can be made by evaporation. I saw on internet how it’s done.

If only The Regime cared about water safety as much as polluting elections.

Meaningless to compare to Flint but from what I read here I couldn’t move soon enough. A Love Canal in its own way. I’m worried enough by microplastics; the BTEX would concern me more.

Happened in Hicksville, Garden City, Wantagh and Levittown NY. Many of my friends died of breast cancer.

Sorry, Ms. Brockovich. This IS important but unless it's going to kick Trump and his fascist ideology out of government for good, what's the point? If we have no government of, by, and for the people, what does it matter? There's so much wrong right now. If I spend time fixing my bedroom on the 29th floor only to let the fire destroy my building, i still don't have a place to sleep at night.

Sigh! Same idea in Northern Alberta. Cancers have risen significantly, the natives complain, any doctor who brings up the issue with the province is fired and silenced. Big money and bought politicians care only about...big money, nothing else.
