"Koch money shouldn't influence public television programming-- we want to see the film Citizens Koch aired on PBS"

PBS canceled the planned airing of a factual documentary about the Koch brothers because they happen to be donors to the PBS organization. Koch money shouldn't influence public television programming -- we want to see the film Citizen Koch aired on Channel Nine in St. Louis -- please act in the interest of the PUBLIC not major donors!

We, the undersigned, are asking you for a moratorium on the use of chloramine in drinking water in Tulsa until more studies are done regarding the acute and long term effects of chloramine and it's byproducts as well as the impact on our homes, aquatic life and watersheds. The safety assurances you have given Tulsans are solely based on the regulated byproducts of chloramine. The unregulated byproducts have only recently have begun to been studied! Even the EPA website itself reveals that these studies are showing that the unregulated byproducts of chloraminated water are "highly genotoxic" and "cause adverse health effects". • You say chloramine has been safely used for 90 years, yet safety on humans wasn’t studied until recently. The current growing body of scientific research is indicating that the use of chloramines is mutagenic, cytotoxic and carcinogenic. • Chloramine is known to leach lead into the water supply. Multiple children in Washington D.C. and North Carolina are known to have suffered lead poisoning from chloraminated water. • Chloramine eats rubber fittings in plumbing and is known to damage seals and parts within the water distribution system, including within homes. • Chloramine is toxic to fish and amphibians in our ecosystem, down to the earthworm. It appears that we are fast approaching the time when science will conclude that choramine is unsafe for humans just as they realized, too late, that lead paint asbestos and thalidomide were unsafe. Don’t expose Tulsans to these risks when you have the alternative, safe, and affordable option of carbon filtering to meet the EPA 2012 guidelines for Tulsa. We know that you have 3-4 years time before the compliance date-take that time to consider what scientists are discovering: the cytotoxic, genotoxic, carcinogenic, and other adverse health effects of chloramines. We ask you to consider what the science is showing about the unregulated byproducts of chloramine and take the responsible action to protect the citizens under your watch. Please STOP the use of chloramine in Tulsa now.

Congress has the power to block all funding for nuclear testing and write a moratorium into law. I urge you to stop President Trump’s reckless plan to restart nuclear weapons testing before it poisons another generation and provokes another arms race.

Guns are deadly weapons; cars can be too. We should, at the very least, require the creation of gun license,registration and insurance equivalencies to the existing motor vehicle registration and driver's licenses, with proficiency & eligibility testing on the same level, i.e. yearly renewal, etc.
