#ArrestGovSynder for poisoning Michigan children with lead contaminated water
We demand an investigation, and, if warranted, the arrest and prosecution of Michigan Governor Rick Snyder. Governor Snyder violated federal regulations by cutting off clean drinking water to the city of Flint—making citizens, instead, drink water polluted with lead from the Flint River. He must be held accountable for poisoning the children of Flint, MI, for fraud and political corruption, and for covering up the actions of his administration.
Why is this important?
I’m calling on U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch to hold Michigan Governor Rick Snyder accountable for poisoning the people of my hometown of Flint, MI. I hope you’ll add your name and join the call for the arrest of Governor Synder.
Governor Synder violated the Environmental Protection Agency’s regulations by cutting off clean drinking water to the city of Flint—impacting more than 100,000 people. Instead of safe, clean drinking water, the people of Flint, MI were piped in polluted water from the Flint River—water contaminated with lead.
There is no way to totally reverse the effects of lead in a child’s blood stream. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there is no safe blood level of lead for children.
The children of Flint, already among the poorest in the U.S., will now have to endure a life of pain, irreversible brain damage, and lower IQ’s because of Governor Snyder’s actions and the ensuing cover up.
Justice must be served—and other elected officials must be put on notice that people’s lives are more important than balancing a budget.
