I contacted my representatives and as you can see they are not interested in stopping these companies.

I first went seeking help from Senator Schumer's Office. I met with Steven Mann (Office Representative) at the Albany Office of Senator Schumer, who suggested that I seek help from Congressmen Sweeney. He explained that Senator Schumer chooses what he will fight for and Mr. Mann did not think Senator Schumer would be interested in this cause. Mr. Mann then told me of a list of things Senator Schumer was interested in, and among them was GUN CONTROL. Stopping crime is honorable; gun control is one way. I am asking that Congress stops what they already know about (Read Section 5701).
I have never received a clear answer on why Senator Schumer will not help STOP the POISONING!
UPDATE 7/03
(posted: June 23rd, 2003, 9:04am on wten.com) Today New York's senior senator comes to the Capital Region with a warning about terrorism. Senator Chuck Schumer says unsecured trucks pose a major threat to America. He is pushing for a federal law calling for background checks on truck drivers. It would also start a system to track trucks on highways. This comes on the heels of an arrest of an Ohio truck driver. That driver admits to plotting an attack on the Brooklyn Bridge and working with al-Qaeda.
I have been asking for his help to do something similar since 2000 to protect our Food Supply.
Maybe now we can help each other to remedy this situation.

I keep sending Congressmen Sweeney letters. Except for the letter referred to, I have not received any other responses. After receiving his response of 10/25/00 I found that Congressmen Sweeney is a co-sponsor of the Asbestos Compensation Act of 2000, which limits compensation to victims.
I found a news
article which shows that the company (Halliburton) is supporting candidates for the votes to get this bill passed into law. Congressmen Sweeney name is on this list of donations from Halliburton.
Dave Gribbins, Halliburton's vice president for government affairs, added, "We give money to candidates for a variety of reasons, usually to those who are supportive of the business agenda, the things that are important to us, like taxes, trade or something specific like this asbestos issue."
I believe it is because of the ASBESTOS issue that Congressmen Sweeney will not respond to my letters.
UPDATE 7/03
Even though Congressman Sweeney is the ONLY representative to the HOMELAND Security for the State of New York his office will not HELP.
I contacted Senator Clinton because of the way she campaigned on health care. Since September 11, in Hudson NY, three Pakistani people were arrested for taking pictures near the Hudson reservoir. The article stated these people faced deportation. It is about time to protect our food in the same manner. Congress knows that companies have been poisoning our food by their unnecessary practices, yet these companies have not been prosecuted. Congress rewrites laws for companies, but prosecutes individuals for not knowing the law. What is the difference, the money that is donated (Companies give more).
Senator Clinton, don't you think if the American people were protected from companies that poison them it would HELP our HEALTH CARE SYSTEM?
UPDATE See 11/5/2002 Hillary is Starting to Help.
This is why I need your
HELP!!!
