WASHINGTON, Aug 12 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump should block the U.S. House from limiting the regulation of pesticides and "forever chemicals" in its environmental appropriations bill or risk losing Republican support, more than 200 activists aligned with the "Make America Healthy Again" movement said in a letter to Trump.
The letter, which also opposes liability shields for pesticide companies, is the latest sign of tension between MAHA backers, who elevated Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and warn of health risks from pesticides, and the Trump administration, which has worked to appease farm interests concerned about a crackdown on agrochemicals…
The rest is behind a paywall.
P.S. The Senate Appropriations bill did not include the pesticide liability waiver. So while it is still in play, at least there is not a universal effort to pass it. Keep making calls to your members (especially those who claimed Section 453 was not about a liability shield) and tell them they are misinformed—it is—and the people want it gone. And they don’t like being lied to by elected officials.
Thank you, Meryl, for fighting for our health! 💪🫶🏻🕊
Write: whitehouse.gov and let the president know directly that you oppose Sections 453 and 507 of the House Interior Environment Appropriations bill. I sent a letter yesterday...and it was received. I read that President Trump was not happy with RFK, Jr trying to stop the pesticides.. I let him know that the pesticides were killing the birds, bees, beneficial insects, trees and all life. I let him know that the spraying has destroyed the organisms in the soil, which provide nutrients to the crops...and this was contributing to a nation of physically and mentally ill people; people who can't think, because they are not getting the nutrients in their foods that they need to think.
I would urge everyone to write...and let the president know that we don't want the USDA to destroy the soil further. There are better methods...and Organic Farmer's needed to be contacted in order to restore and regenerate the soil. If everybody could contact people on their email list and tell them to contact the White House, too...Tell them to stop these two sections...and stop killing our soil and our environment. Perhaps, if enough people did this...the president would listen to us...and not Big Ag, which makes money using petroleum fertilizer and chemical pesticides.
