  • Ask Congress To Open Congressional Hearings Into USEPA Region 4's Handling of the CTS of Ashevill...
    $8,573,115.97 of taxpayer funds was used to conceal EPA Region 4's mistakes and alleged illegal activity. 50 people have been diagnosed with non-Hodgkins Lymphoma alone within 1 mile of CTS of Asheville Superfund Site. Neighbors abused, deceived and harmed by EPA Region 4 officials' response. Community Advisory Group has collected evidence to support federal charges to be filed against EPA Region 4 officials for creating a fake CERCLA site by submitting a falsified Hazardous Incident Report to the US Coast Guard National Response Center to expedite the creation of a CERCLA designation for the victims' property for a the contamination emanating from a preexisting the CTS of Asheville CERCLA site. EPA Region 4 has failed to protect human health and the environment in an effort to save careers and shield the agency from the embarrassing attention that would come from the original mismanagement. Call Congressman Meadows, Congressman McHenry, Senator Burr and Senator Hagan today and ask for the Congressional Investigations to hold the agency accountable and protect other communities from this type of systematic and systemic abuse.

  • Stand Up for Social Security
    The President has proposed to limit the growth of Social Security. The initiative is called "chained CPI"--and the result would impoverish seniors for living longer. We need to stand up and remind the president that Social Security is our money and must not be used to balance the federal budget.

  • Unchain Social Security from Obama's CPI
    Obama's proposal to calculate Social Security Cost of Living adjustments based on a chained CPI is the back door to benefit reductions. If Social Security has to be "fixed", find another way, like raising the FICA wage cap.

  • Reject Grover Norquist's anti-tax pledge
    How is Grover Norquist, who has not been elected to legislate a thing, being allowed to dictate policy? Supposedly, legislators are elected to look out for the American people. Taking crumbs from the "least of these," while allowing the rich to continue to get richer, is a shameful contradiction of this principle. How long will we allow our government to be bought by the highest bidder?
