Mesothelioma Awareness Day

July 23rd, 2009

Mesothelioma kills 3,000 people each year - the same number killed in the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. Three thousand deaths EVERY year, caused by asbestos. There is a bill before Congress that would finally totally ban asbestos in the United States. In recognition of National Mesothelioma Awareness Day, Sept. 26, we encourage support of the Bruce Vento Ban Asbestos and Prevent Mesothelioma Act.

    RIP Bruce Vento. I urge everyone in MN’s 4th district to contact Betty McCollum to champion this cause. I grew up in Bruce’s district and now reside in Arizona. I have written my member of congress, so should all of you.
