The law requires Country of Origin labeling for shoes, but nothing tells us where our food and medicine comes from!! That's just crazy! What will it take for U.S. Government officials to stand up, show some integrity and moral fortitude, and let American citizens know about dangerous imports from China? More dead American children? More brain-damaged American youngsters? More poisoned Americans who think their supermarkets are a safe source of our daily bread? More sick Americans who are pumped full of tainted medications and vitamins from China? Are we all expendable in the name of the holy dollar? Do you U.S. Government officials think you and your loved ones are immune from the dangers coming from China? What do you think when you eat slimy, bacterial-laden food from China at your favorite restaurant? What do you think when your children and grandchildren drink pesticide-laced apple juice, eat fruit and vegetables fertilized with human waste and contaminated by U.S.-banned pesticides and carcinogens used in China? What do you think when you or your loved ones are sick and substandard, tainted medicines from China are flowing into your bodies? Frankly, in light of the overwhelming news about weak-minded politicians, we are afraid that politicians don't have the guts to do the right thing. You certainly have the ability; but do you have the courage? Perhaps the money is too good? American manufacturers see a gold mine in China. What are you doing to stop the inflow of poisonous, adulterated, bacteria-laden food and medicine from China? We Americans have a right to know where our food ingredients -- all the ingredients in all our food, not just meat and produce -- are coming from so we can decide whether or not we want to risk poisoning ourselves and our children with dangerous toxins hidden in processed food. What poisonous ingredient from China is in your grandchild's Oreo cookies? Why on earth are our elected officials not enforcing the law that protects us? You might not be aware of the extreme rage that's building everywhere in our great country against the do-nothing attitude of U.S. Government officials who don't lift a finger to protect Americans. What is your moral duty to protect the health and well being Americans? Please, before more Americans -- including someone in your personal circle -- are poisoned by adulterated food and medicine from China, we beg you to work to get a strong and detailed COOL enforcement passed. We're watching and waiting to see some shred of concern and real action from you; we desperately hope that you care about the safety of the food consumed by your fellow citizens and even your own family!
