Stand for Justice
As a constituent in your district, I’m reminding you that hundreds of farmers and ag workers in
our state have sued Bayer/Monsanto and ChemChina for developing cancer and Parkinson’s
after exposure to their chemicals. These cases represent a tiny fraction of the many hundreds
of thousands of lawsuits they’ve faced around the world. Less than 1%.
No state has given these foreign chemical corporations liability protections for the harm they
cause. Why would we do it? What will it accomplish? Shielding these foreign chemical giants
from a tiny fraction of lawsuits doesn’t change things for them, but it changes everything for
farmers and ag workers who have been given a death sentence due to exposure.
This bill does nothing to help our state or our communities. It sends one message: that farmers
and ag workers in all 49 other states retain their legal rights, but in our state, their lives are
worth nothing.
Please vote against this immunity for the pesticide makers. [ADD WHEN WE HAVE BILL
