Good one on which to follow up - and to also send to your friends.

It's easy to go to the link below and quickly send the ready-made message to
the EPA chief.

Lead is one of the most harmful toxins on Earth, and is especially hazardous
for children. Lead poisoning damages the major organs and causes
osteoporosis, high blood pressure, heart disease, anemia, memory problems,
and seizures. 

Incredibly, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is considering
removing lead entirely from the list of pollutants it controls under the
Clean Air Act. They're accepting comments on this misguided proposal until
February 5. 

I used the Union of Concerned Scientists' website to weigh in with the EPA,
and you should too. Click the link below to tell EPA that it must continue
to protect the air we breathe from dangerous lead pollution.
