Ao Cancer Epa Petition

[Berta]

The notable NY Vets advocate , Sue Belanger, and also Paul Sutton from law firm B & M (Guest at SVR) are requesting vets and their dependents to sign this petition:

The petition regards:

“The EPA’s landmark report—the "Dioxin Reassessment"—still remains a draft, which has stymied the agency's development of federal dioxin regulations for over 25 years. EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson pledged to finalize this assessment by December 2010. Nearly four years later after EPA’s self-imposed deadline, we are still waiting for this assessment to be complete. “

This petition is to urge the EPA to finish their cancer assessment regarding cancers from Agent Orange exposure that are not presumptive.

Too many AO vets are dying from cancers that are npot on the AO VA presumptive list.

They need more signatures. I think I was only # 77.

As a veteran and a dependent of an AO vet with Prostate Cancer, it is my duty and a pleasure to add my signature to this petition!! I feel that more than half of my medical issues are due to my father's exposure in Vietnam.
