Targeting: The U.S. House of Representatives
This Wednesday, 9/29/10, a critically important bill will be up for a vote on the floor of the House of Representatives. H.R. 847, the 9/11 Health and Compensation Act, would protect the health of tens of thousands of people affected by the worst act of terror in our nation's history. Please urge your Representative to vote to pass this important legislation as written.
9/11 was an attack on our nation that killed nearly 3000. What you may not know is that tens of thousands of people are now sick as a result of the World Trade Center attacks from breathing in the toxic fumes and dust that resulted from the collapse and burning of the Twin Towers.
Some of those people were the heroic responders who toiled on the "pile" in the rescue and recovery operation. They came to the WTC site from every state in the country and risked their lives to help others.
Some were the civilians targeted by the terrorists -- people who lived, worked or attended school in the densely populated area around the WTC, as well as people who were visiting NYC. Many were caught in the toxic cloud when the towers collapsed. Many were encouraged to remain in or return to heavily contaminated neighborhoods, when our government falsely assured them that the air was safe.
Many affected responders and survivors are sick and some are dying. The help provided under the 9/11 Health and Compensation Act is long overdue. Please urge your representative to vote to pass this critical bill as written.
Thank you for your much-needed help.
