    Restore Lead Poisoning Prevention Money NOW!
    Posted on March 13, 2012

    Reposted from HealthyHomesCoalition.org. I can’t say it better myself, and the issue is dire. Make no mistake, children’s lives are depending on you to take action today:

    “As State legislators work to develop next year’s budget for Michigan, advocates for children have been working furiously in Lansing to get funding restored for the Michigan Lead Safe Home Program… and it looks as if their hard work is paying off!

    There is currently discussion happening in Lansing to re-instate funding for childhood lead poisoning prevention in the coming fiscal year. While the details are still being worked out, your letters and phone calls are needed NOW to help make this funding happen.

    Click here for a fact sheet to help you with writing your letter or email. Your communication does not need to be anything fancy, it simply needs to state that funding for lead poisoning prevention needs to be re-instated in the DCH budget for next year, and it’s helpful for you to give your personal reasons for why this is so important.

    Please take five minutes today to pen a letter on behalf of yourself or your organization.”

    This problem effects every city in Michigan, but none more so than Detroit. Detroit has the largest inventory of pre-1978 housing in the state and the highest number of children poisoned by lead. Federal and state money is critical in the fight to protect our children and our future.

    Please address your letters to the Chairperson of the respective DCH Committees below. Please also send a copy of your letter to your State of Michigan Representative, State of Michigan Senator and a copy to info@healthyhomescoalition.org, your US Representatives and our US Senators Levin and Stabenow. In your letters to the US Representatives and Senators, be sure to ask them to restore funding to the Centers for Disease Control and Prvention (CDC) Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program as well.

    This is of great importance to me . Please read the following description of my lead awareness group and you will understand why. : This lead poisoning awareness GROUP was created To provide the public with information on lead paint/exposure and poisoning; To promote understanding of Massachusetts and general laws pertaining to lead; To provide links to news, educational and informational sites on the dangers of lead and information on wellness~ In 2003 Kim Cole and family were poisoned by 15,000+ micrograms of LEAD dust when the Master state inspector of the CLPPP (childhood lead poisoning PREVENTION program) passed failing swipes at 18 Winthrop Street in Abington ,Ma.-a rented apt. The Board of Health ,landlord, OSHA and CLPPP took weeks to determine that a horrendous error had transpired.Their error could have cost children their lives.Lead can cause mental retardation, seizures and Death.I have Superior case(s) pending. It is my hope to see the PEL ( permissable elevated lead level) lowered from 10 to 5. Lead laws changed in April 2010. Please educate yourselves on the DANGERS found right in some of your own homes. Peace~

    I would like to say Thank you to Tamara Rubin and Daniel Marracino for the opportunity to be a part of their ' documentary feature about America's hidden childhood lead poisoning epidemic which impacts 22,000,000 children in our country today.' Its a pleasure to film with such driven, hard working people. Looking forward to seeing the final masterpiece~ photo by Pat Olson ~ 24 January 2012 ~ Hull, Massachusetts — with Tamara Rubin and Daniel Marracino.
