Guest guest Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 Here are some sample letters copied and pasted from http://www.mdawareness.com/: SAMPLE LETTER TO CONGRESS: Congressman/Senator _______________________, I am a constituent of yours in the state of _____________. My name is ________________ and I am concerned about indoor mold growth. Asthma rates have sky rocketed in the last few years. This has left many, including our nation's children, with breathing difficulties. As mold is an asthma trigger, we need our buildings cleaned up immediately. Please support legislation to help the thousands of victims that have experienced this first hand by providing emergency appropriations to help clean up our homes, rentals, workplaces, and our nation's schools. SAMPLE LETTER TO EPA: Indoor Air Quality Division: My name is _________________, and I am concerned about indoor mold growth in our buildings. The asthma rate within the U.S. is one of the highest in the world, which causes difficulty breathing and even death. Indoor mold growth is an asthma trigger that has resulted in sky-rocketing medical costs lost work and school days. We need our buildings cleaned up to prevent this debilitating disease from causing further losses. Please institute a policy change to include indoor mold growth on the list of indoor pollutants that desperately need to be addressed. Please make cleaning up and preventing mold growth in our indoor environment a top priority. There have been thousands of families and school children that experienced this first hand in our homes, rentals, workplaces, and our nation's schools and we need your help. SAMPLE LETTER TO PRESIDENT BUSH: My name is _________________, and I am concerned about indoor mold growth in our buildings. The asthma rate within the U.S. is one of the highest in the world, which causes difficulty breathing and even death. Indoor mold growth is an asthma trigger that has resulted in sky-rocketing medical costs lost work and school days. We need our buildings cleaned up to prevent this debilitating disease from causing further losses. Please support legislation to address indoor mold growth by providing emergency appropriations for our homes, rentals, workplaces, and our nation's school. Please provide direction to the Environmental Protection Act (EPA) to include indoor mold growth as an indoor pollutant. Provide direction to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on training our nation's physicians regarding recognizing and treating illnesses caused by indoor mold contamination. Assist the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) with clear cut guidelines on proper clean up to ensure the prevention of mold growth following a natural disaster. Bleach does not clean mold from behind the walls or within the ceiling cavity, yet this information is still being given out by FEMA following a water loss event. Other agencies are no longer recommending bleach as it is not effective. Thousands of victims have experienced the devastating effects of indoor mold growth first hand and we need your help. SAMPLE LETTER TO CDC: Indoor Pollutant Division: My name is _________________, and I am concerned about indoor mold growth in our buildings. Please institute a policy change to include all mycotic disease caused by indoor mold growth as a recognized illness by teaching our nation's physicians how to recognize, diagnose and treat these life-threatening diseases. There have been thousands of families and school children that have been devastated by the effects of indoor mold growth in our homes, rentals, workplaces, and our nation's schools and we need your help.

PLEASE CUT AND PASTE THIS AND SEND THIS TO THE E-MAIL ADDRESSES BELOW: Indoor Pollutant Division: My name is , and I am concerned about indoor mold growth in our buildings. Please institute a policy change to include all mycotic disease caused by indoor mold growth as a recognized illness by teaching our nation's physicians how to recognize, diagnose and treat these life-threatening diseases. There have been thousands of families and school children that have been devastated by the effects of indoor mold growth in our homes, rentals, workplaces, and our nation's schools and we need your help. According to Dr. Tucker, of the Washington office of the Center for Nonproliferation Studies and former United Nations biological weapons inspector in Iraq, " T-2 mycotoxins have been used in yellow rain as a form of biological warfare, by certain aspects of military. " These are the very same T-2 mycotoxins that are invading our homes at record numbers and making us so desperately ill. The general consensus from the affected public, including myself is, " If military groups are using these exact same T-2 mycotoxins for biological warfare, why is the CDC at the same time publicly stating that toxigenic mold, is rare and only proven to be a mild respiratory allergen, and even funding studies to say this? We deserve better than this. The American people are resilient and intelligent enough to be told the unvarnished truth about any public health issue. The challenges of National health crisis's such as Polio and Smallpox were addressed and eradicated through nationalized vaccination programs and focused effort on the part of agencies such as the CDC. Is funding such an important issue that it is going to ruin the present and future health of our citizens, thus destroying our economy in the long run? With a national health crisis of potential proportions looming, I am confident that the Government could respond in a similarly appropriate manner. Please be more frank and honest with us and address this issue with with the urgency and concern that it deserves. We need action now! sredd@... atsdric@... dmannino@... > Here are some sample letters copied and pasted from > http://www.mdawareness.com/: > > > SAMPLE LETTER TO CONGRESS: > > Congressman/Senator _______________________, I am a constituent of > yours in the state of _____________.
