* There are many topics within
the LBAM spray issue. You can focus
on any number of facts and data
points found in your research at
the CASS and LBAMspray websites.

and hundreds of people officially
reported becoming ill, while the
anecdotal evidence shows that many
hundreds more have also had adverse
reactions and illnesses due to the
spray.
- Hundreds of birds along the Santa
Cruz beaches were found dead.
- The Light Brown Apple Moth has
caused no damage to any crop in
California.
- You can follow the money trail
and show who will make money from
this unnecessary spray program.
- Create a call to action to boycott
Fiji Water and POM Juice, both under
the same parent company that created
the toxic chemical that will be
sprayed on California citizens.
So,
get creative!!
Keep it relevant
and make a difference!
