Protect our farmers and our farm families
1) Subject: Stand up to pesticide immunity, Governor Armstrong
Dear Governor Armstrong,
As a concerned constituent, I urge you to veto House Bill 1318. This bill gives immunity to multinational pesticide manufacturers by making their labels the complete defense for failure to warn. This means that even if the EPA or the Ag Commissioner finds a pesticide harmful because the company covered up the risks, the manufacturer still escapes accountability.
By letting this bill become law, we risk putting our farmers, sellers, and communities in harm’s way. Not only are they exposed to secretly dangerous pesticides, they may be on the hook for causing harm too. The seller and farmer will no longer be protected under the innocent seller doctrine, shifting liability to them instead of the responsible manufacturer.
Please veto this dangerous legislation.

2) Subject: Governor Armstrong, veto House Bill 1318
Dear Governor Armstrong,
House Bill 1318 is an unjust bill that removes vital protections for farmers and communities. By making pesticide manufacturers immune from failure-to-warn lawsuits as long as they follow the label, we are opening the door for negligence.
This bill also leaves sellers and farmers exposed to liability. The elimination of indemnification for the seller from the manufacturer will leave them unprotected.
Please veto HB 1318 and prevent these foreign chemical companies from controlling our state’s legal framework.

3) Subject: Don’t let big corporations control our laws, Governor
Dear Governor Armstrong,
I’m writing as your constituent to ask you to veto House Bill 1318. This bill grants total immunity to chemical companies like ChemChina, even if their product violates labeling requirements. It says the label is sufficient for failure to warn, even when they cover up the risks and cause serious harm. It protects them, by putting us at risk.
Moreover, it removes critical protections for sellers and farmers. This bill shifts liability from the Chinese Communist Party onto North Dakota communities. Do not let this happen.
Please protect North Dakotans and veto HB 1318.

4) Subject: Protect North Dakotans from pesticide immunity
Governor Armstrong,
As your constituent, I urge you to veto House Bill 1318. This bill removes accountability from pesticide manufacturers for harmful products, as long as they follow the label. It allows them to hide behind the label and escape any consequences.
By doing so, it shifts responsibility onto our local farmers and sellers, stripping them of the protection they once had. Manufacturers should take responsibility for the products they put on the market – don’t take this awa
Please veto this bill and stand with North Dakota.

5) Subject: Governor Armstrong, protect our farmers, please veto HB 1318
Dear Governor Armstrong,
The passage of House Bill 1318 presents a grave danger to our farmers and communities. This bill will give chemical companies like ChemChina total immunity from accountability, even when their products harm our citizens. It says that simply following the pesticide label is enough to avoid lawsuits, regardless of the harm caused.
Moreover, the bill eliminates protections for farmers and shift responsibility onto them, even if they followed all the correct protocols. Pesticide makers shouldn’t escape our laws when their label is a lie.
Please veto this bill to safeguard our people and our state.

6) Subject: Veto House Bill 1318 to protect North Dakota’s health
Governor Armstrong,
House Bill 1318 is a dangerous piece of legislation that will make multinational pesticide manufacturers immune from lawsuits, as long as they have an approved label. This puts the power in the hands of foreign corporations instead of the people of North Dakota.
If companies cover up the risks their pesticide poses to North Dakota families, and cause cancer or hurt our kids, they shouldn’t get to hide from the consequences or put responsibility on the seller.
Please veto HB 1318 to protect our rights and our health.

7) Subject: Don’t let pesticide companies escape responsibility, Governor
Dear Governor Armstrong,
House Bill 1318 will allow foreign pesticide manufacturers to escape accountability by claiming their labels are sufficient, even when they cover up and cause serious harm. This bill removes all opportunities for legal accountability–that’s going too far.
What’s worse – it eliminates protections for sellers and farmers, including indemnification from the manufacturer. This means small businesses in North Dakota are left paying for serious injuries caused by foreign chemical companies? Why!
Please veto this harmful bill to protect the people of North Dakota.

8) Subject: Governor Armstrong, veto pesticide immunity bill
Dear Governor Armstrong,
I’m writing as a concerned North Dakotan to ask you to veto House Bill 1318. This bill allows pesticide manufacturers to hide behind Washington DC regulators, and escape responsibility under North Dakota law for toxic pesticides that caused harm. North Dakotan’s deserve better.
It also removes vital legal protections for sellers and farmers, making them the next line of liability. If signed into law, HB 1318 will put our communities at risk for their corporate negligence.

9) Subject: Veto HB 1318 – protect families from corporate immunity
Dear Governor Armstrong,
Please veto House Bill 1318. This bill will make pesticide manufacturers immune from any failure to warn lawsuits, as long as they follow the label. It undermines our ability to hold these companies accountable when their products cause harm to our families.
It also removes protections for sellers of foreign products. No one wants the local seller to take the blame for foreign chemical corporations who covered up the risks to North Dakota families, but that’s exactly what this bill would do.
I ask that you veto HB 1318 to protect North Dakota’s families.

10) Subject: Don’t let HB 1318 hurt our state, Governor Armstrong
Dear Governor Armstrong,
House Bill 1318 will protect foreign pesticide manufacturers when they cause harm, allowing them to hide behind an EPA label. This dangerous bill would expose local farmers and sellers to liability, without the protections they currently have.
As your constituent, I ask you to veto this bill and prevent it from becoming law. We cannot let multinational chemical companies control our legal system and shift the consequences of their bad actions onto the backs of our citizens.
Please stand with the people of North Dakota and veto HB 1318.

Based on your request to focus on varying vocabulary and phrasing (suggestion 4) rather than personalizing, I’ll create revised versions of the emails that maintain a standard template structure but use different language patterns to avoid appearing too similar.
Here are the revised emails with varied vocabulary and phrasing while maintaining the core message:
11) Subject: Block HB 1318 to safeguard our children’s future
Dear Governor Armstrong,
I request that you reject House Bill 1318. This legislation offers complete legal protection to pesticide manufacturers by establishing their labels as the full defense for failure to warn, even when their products are linked to developmental disorders in children. If they’ve concealed risks, they should remain accountable.
This measure also strips away safeguards for local retailers and agricultural producers, transferring responsibility to them instead of the corporations who formulate these harmful substances. The health of the next generation shouldn’t be compromised for corporate gain.
Please prevent this bill from becoming law.

12) Subject: Stop legislation shielding companies from brain damage liability
Dear Governor Armstrong,
I’m reaching out to ask you to veto House Bill 1318. This proposal would grant legal exemption to chemical corporations when they adhere to their labeling requirements, despite growing evidence linking their products to neurological damage. Their ability to evade responsibility is deeply troubling.
Moreover, this bill eliminates crucial legal protections for distributors and growers, placing the burden of liability on them rather than the manufacturers who developed these hazardous substances. North Dakota citizens deserve better.

13) Subject: Stop HB 1318 to protect our kids
Dear Governor Armstrong,
Please veto House Bill 1318. This bill lets pesticide companies off the hook even when their products harm our children’s development. If they put a label on it, they can’t be sued – even if they knew it was dangerous and didn’t tell us.
This bill also takes away protections for our local farm stores and farmers, making them pay for problems caused by big chemical companies. Our children’s health matters more than company profits.
Please stop this dangerous bill.

14) Subject: Don’t let companies that cause brain damage get away with it
Dear Governor Armstrong,
Veto House Bill 1318. This bill would protect big pesticide companies from lawsuits even when their products cause brain damage. As long as they get it stamped by the EPA, they get away with it – even if they knew and hid the real dangers from everyone.
The bill also takes away protections for local sellers and farmers. If someone gets hurt, our local businesses could be blamed instead of the companies that made the dangerous chemicals. That’s not right.
Please veto HB 1318 to protect North Dakota families.

Dear Governor Armstrong,
I’m asking you to veto House Bill 1318. This bill gives chemical companies protection from lawsuits even when their products cause Parkinson’s disease. They just need to follow their label and they’re safe – even if they knew about the risks and didn’t warn us.
This bill also hurts our farmers and local stores by taking away their legal protections. They could be blamed for problems caused by these dangerous chemicals. We shouldn’t let foreign companies control our laws.
Please veto HB 1318.

Governor Armstrong,
Please veto House Bill 1318. This bill would let pesticide makers off the hook when their products cause infertility. North Dakota families deserve better when foreign companies cause this sort of harm. Especially if it turns out the company hid the truth about the dangers.
The bill also takes away protections for local businesses and farmers, making them responsible instead of the big companies who made the harmful products. Our families’ health shouldn’t be sacrificed for corporate profits.
Please veto this dangerous bill.

Dear Governor Armstrong,
I’m writing to ask you to veto House Bill 1318. This bill lets chemical companies off the hook even when their products harm children’s development. Our children’s health is precious – allowing companies to get away with causing them harm is appalling. Don’t let them do it.
This bill also removes protections for our local stores and farmers, making them take the blame instead of the big companies. Our children’s futures are too important to let these companies avoid responsibility.

Dear Governor Armstrong,
Please veto House Bill 1318. This bill would protect foreign chemical companies from lawsuits even when their products cause serious injury and neurological harm. If they put a warning on the label, they’re off the hook–even if our North Dakota ag commissioner wised up and forced them off the market.
If they knew it was dangerous and didn’t tell the whole truth, they should take responsibility. Don’t let them get away with it – please veto this harmful bill.

19) Subject: Parkinson’s victims deserve justice – Stop HB 1318
Governor Armstrong,
HB 1318 shields pesticide manufacturers from responsibility when their products cause Parkinson’s disease. Their labels become a complete legal defense, even when internal documents show they concealed the risks from farmers and families. This bill protects foreign corporations while leaving North Dakotans vulnerable.
Even worse, this legislation strips protection from local stores and family farmers. When someone develops Parkinson’s from chemical exposure, manufacturers can shift blame to small businesses who trusted their safety claims. Our neighbors shouldn’t face financial ruin because foreign corporations hid the dangers.
Your veto is our last line of defense. Please protect North Dakota families and businesses by rejecting HB 1318.

20) Subject: Don’t let companies causing infertility escape accountability
Dear Governor Armstrong,
Certain pesticides have been linked to rising infertility rates, yet HB 1318 would make it nearly impossible to hold manufacturers accountable. As long as they follow minimal labeling requirements, they get complete immunity for the harm they cause – even when they’ve buried research showing reproductive harm. North Dakota families deserve better.
Please use your veto power to protect North Dakota’s future generations from this dangerous legislation.

21) Subject: Brain damage shouldn’t go unpunished – Veto HB 1318
Dear Governor Armstrong,
HB 1318 gives chemical companies complete immunity when their pesticides cause brain damage. Following a label they write becomes a perfect shield against liability, even when they knowingly concealed serious health risks from the public. This bill values corporate profits over the health of North Dakota.
This is true even if our North Dakota Ag Commissioner pulls a dangerous product from the market. Why would foreign chemical companies get protection for selling a product our own Ag Commissioner says causes harm, just because the EPA approved the label? Our rural communities shouldn’t pay the price for corporate deception.
Your veto is crucial to protect North Dakotans’ right to hold wrongdoers accountable. Please reject HB 1318 and stand with our communities, not foreign chemical giants.

22) Subject: Our children’s development is at stake – Stop HB 1318
Dear Governor Armstrong,
North Dakota parents have a right to know if a product might harm their kids. Studies have linked certain pesticides to developmental disorders in children, yet HB 1318 gives chemical manufacturers complete immunity from accountability when they violate our rights and bury those risks. Their product labels become an absolute defense against lawsuits, putting corporate profits over our children’s futures.
Please protect North Dakota’s next generation and a parent’s right to know. Our children’s developing minds matter more than chemical company profits.

23) Subject: HB 1318 traps local businesses while shielding chemical giants
Dear Governor Armstrong,
HB 1318 creates a dangerous legal trap for North Dakota businesses while giving foreign chemical corporations complete immunity. When their pesticides cause serious health problems like Parkinson’s disease or brain damage, manufacturers can hide behind their labels – even when they knowingly concealed risks from the public. At the same time, HB 1318 strips legal protections from local retailers and farmers. When someone suffers harm, manufacturers can shift blame to small businesses. This turns justice upside down, making North Dakotans pay for corporate negligence.
Please stand with our local businesses and farmers by vetoing HB 1318.

24) Subject: Protect child safety from dangerous pesticide loopholes–Veto HB 1318
Dear Governor Armstrong,
Children’s developing bodies absorb chemicals at much higher rates than adults do. HB 1318 creates a dangerous situation where pesticide manufacturers get total immunity from lawsuits when they cover up the risk and their products harm our kids’ developing brains and bodies. A company could knowingly sell products that cause learning disabilities, and as long as they follow minimal label requirements, they escape all responsibility.
Your veto is the last defense for our most vulnerable citizens. Please protect North Dakota’s children from corporate negligence by rejecting HB 1318.

25) Subject: Our schools and playgrounds need protection from HB 1318
Dear Governor Armstrong,
Many schools and playgrounds in North Dakota are surrounded by farmland where pesticides are applied. HB 1318 would allow chemical manufacturers to escape responsibility when their products harm children’s developing nervous systems, even if they concealed known risks including the risk that a pesticide can drift. As long as the pesticide had a label approved by the EPA, the manufacturer can’t be held accountable when toxic drift reaches our children’s learning and play spaces, even when they knew that is exactly what would happen.
Recent examples show that companies can, and will, cover up drift risk if it benefits their bottom line. What if our kids’ health is put at risk from this sort of coverup – why would we let them get away with this?
Please use your veto power to ensure children in rural communities remain protected. Their right to safe learning environments matters more than corporate immunity from accountability.

26) Dear Governor Armstrong,
North Dakota families trust that if product dangers come to light, the company making it will tell them the truth or be held to account. HB 1318 breaks that trust. It says a printed label today wipes away every duty to warn tomorrow—even if research links the chemical to infertility, miscarriages, or developmental delays in children.
Our courts have long served as a backstop when the science catches up and reveals hazards manufacturers missed or concealed. That backstop saved lives in the tobacco and opioid fights. If HB 1318 becomes law, parents whose kids are harmed will be told, “Sorry—the label was good enough.”I believe North Dakota should stand with families, not corporations looking for shortcuts.
Please veto HB 1318 and preserve every parent’s right to know the truth about products our kids are exposed to. Thank you for safeguarding our health and future,
