On behalf of concerned families and citizens across this country, we respectfully ask PERK supporters, Organizations, and Legislators to support the following Federal bills. Here is an active list.
After PERK President Amy Bohn delivered a major letter backed by more than 1,000 public signatures and 61+ organizations, the White House issued an official response affirming religious freedom and faith-based protections.
The Farm Bill will be reviewed by the Rules Committee potentially today on Monday or possibly next Monday. This is the committee that determines whether or not amendments to the Farm Bill can be brought the floor of Congress for a vote. We need an amendment to be approved so that it can be voted on. This is where that happens. In order for the dangerous and harmful sections to be amended or removed, that impacts our drinking water, creates a defacto Liability shield, and bans local pesticide restrictions, we must act now.
Update: Ask members to support amendment 51 which removes Sections 10204–10207 of the Farm Bill that create what amounts to a de facto liability shield for pesticide manufacturers by amending FIFRA and blocking failure-to-warn claims tied to EPA-approved labels.
