Guest guest Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Thank you, . I am somewhat surprised that this video was posted two days after Senator Kennedy's death. Senator Kennedy was a great man who championed the rights of workers. I will always be appreciative of his request for the Federal Government Accountability Office (GAO) to audit the science behind public and government policy over the mold issue. The audit report, " Indoor Mold: Better Coordination of Research on Health Effects and More Consistent Guidance Would Improve Federal Efforts " _http://www.gao.gov/products/GAO-08-980_ (http://www.gao.gov/products/GAO-08-980) , was issued in September of 2008. No longer is it absurd health policy that the poisons (toxins) of mold do not poison. Now, all science information coming from our Federal government over the issue will first run through the Federal Interagency Committee on Indoor Air Quality (CIAQ) with accurate information then being dispersed to physicians. This has helped much to curtail the misinformation that has been mass promoted to physicians and building stakeholders by ACOEM, the US Chamber of Commerce Institute for Legal Reform and the Manhattan Institute think-tank. Unfortunately, one step more of calling the entities out for their conflicts of interest that has harmed so many workers and US citizens, would have quickly finished the job of dispelling the unscientific myth that poisons don't poison. Let's hope Congress will see fit to finish this necessary step so that all mold injured Americans may receive proper medical treatment and fair treatment within the courts - in the very near future. Although disappointed that Senator Kennedy did not see fit to investigate the conflicts of interest of ACOEM, the Chamber and the Manhattan Institute over the mold issue - that could have quickly shut down the deceit; the man will always have my heartfelt respect and appreciation for requesting the GAO audit that is slowly causing change for the better of the lives of many US citizens.

She also reports on the role of Senator Kennedy on deleting a government study on this conflict of interest.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Was everyone able to hear the entire conference with Sharon. I was watching it and it cut off towards the end. I can tell she was still speaking. Thank you Sharon again. You are always on the ball with this issue. It is so exhausting to think so much work has been done and we are still waiting. Thanks again. > > > Thank you, . I am somewhat surprised that this video was posted two > days after Senator Kennedy's death.

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Thank you for being our voice Sharon. Every doctor, every insurance company exec., every Senator and Congressman.....should watch your press conference. Whoever knows and ignores the dangers of mold exposure should be ashamed of themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Sharon K, Thank you. Your speech was powerful. Many times you will hear people throw up their hands in frustration and say I'm never voting again because no one listens and they are all corrupt. In my opinion this is not the way to effect change. We need to be in their faces on a daily basis telling our stories and getting the facts out. And our healthy friends and relatives need to know this is what awaits them if they ever get sick. I belong to several online support groups for autism and Lyme disease because I believe these are also political diseases with conflicts of interests ruling the treatment and prevention of these diseases. And they connect us as a group. Think of how many voices we would have if we could harness all of these very pissed off stakeholders? I am for a grassroots effort that connects all these groups in one and fights for change. I'm all for a group that would work to get conflicts of interest, greed and profit out of our healthcare.
