Quick ways to speak up on health issues
Stir It Up has an action item for those of you with kids, or those of you concerned about the health of kids (so, just about everyone, I hope). Obviously nutrition is a big concern for parents, and the cafeterias at most schools simply don't offer nutritious food. Stir It Up tells you what you can do to help make lunch at school more nutritious!
The American Humane Association is asking President Bush to direct Surgeon General Carmona to prepare a comprehensive report on child abuse and neglect in this country. Join them in their call to make Americans aware of the scale of Child Abuse in this country. According to them, 100 children per hour suffer from neglect and abuse in this country.
Join PEER in telling the EPA that they shouldn't be using human beings as test subjects by clicking here. This one has a time limit!! We only have until December 12th for this one!! That's tomorrow!!
Support the "Fair Share For Health Care" Act by signing this petition. This law would require dead-beat corporations (like Wal*Mart) to provide a minimum health care benefit to their employees or be forced to pay into state health care funds so taxpayers aren't forced to subsidize a multi-billion dollar corporation.
The Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids is asking for donations, but giving some bracelets in return. The bracelets say 1200, asking you to remember the 1200 Americans that die from tobacco use and second hand smoke each year!! You can donate and get your bracelets here!
