We're not "comfortable" with what happened in West, Texas
President Obama: After the tragic fertilizer plant explosion in West, Texas, Gov. Rick Perry said he's comfortable with the current level of government oversight of such facilities. We, the undersigned, are not at all "comfortable" with what happened in West, Texas. Please use the full authority of your office to keep our communities safe from such deadly, yet preventable, accidents in the future.
Why is this important?
After the fertilizer plant explosion in West, Texas, last week killed 15 people, including workers and volunteer firefighters, and injured 150 more people, Gov. Rick Perry said he's comfortable with current government regulation of such facilities. This is absurd. We need stronger safeguards to keep our communities safe from more deadly accidents like this one. Sign our petition to the president and urge him to make this a priority.
