Arnold Mann, the hard-driving, no-holds-barred investigative reporter who blew the lid off toxic mold in the late 1990s (TIME, USA WEEKEND), has just published a new book. It’s called “They’re Poisoning Us”-From the Gulf War to the Gulf of Mexico, An Investigative Report, and it’s a can’t-put-it-down, tell-all, that has unearthed many disturbing facts that confirm our worst suspicions about what THEY knew, when THEY knew it and what THEY did (or did not do) to save lives and property.
Who are THEY? Government officials acting in cahoots with industry-the insurance industry, oil companies, the chemical industry, etc.
To give you a taste of what’s in “They’re Poisoning Us…”, Mann dug up evidence about how the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the federal agency charged with protecting our nation’s health, brought in a team of outside experts to bury its own researchers’ data documenting pulmonary hemorrhaging among infants in mold-infested inner city housing. This scientific coup d’etat, Mann reveals, was orchestrated while a former President of Prudential Insurance was Director of the CDC! With no further studies planned, more infants die in mold-infested inner city housing every year.
In the new book, Mann also revisits a number of victims of Southwest Airlines’
mold-infested San Antonio Reservations Center, which he wrote about for Time Magazine in the late 1990s, and reports on their continuing health problems today, and how they all got screwed in the Texas Courts-including one U.S. Senator’s sister!
Then there are the thousands more sick or destined to become sick in the wake of the BP oil spill and the Mississippi flooding.
And that’s just a taste. Mann tells the heart-breaking stories of innocent victims of toxic exposures from all walks of life, both rich and poor, from the Gulf War to the Gulf of Mexico.
It’s a riveting and revealing read, written in plain English by a terrific writer!
Most of all, for the victims of environmental illness and their families, Mann offers understandable explanations, and comfort for those who think they’re going through this alone, as well as promising new treatments.
Arnold Mann is an acclaimed author and former medical writer at TIME; you may know his work from the many articles he’s written there and for other magazines. He also worked as a staff writer for the National Institutes of Health.

This isn’t exactly on topic, but in a way….it is. It’s as good a place as any to start:
This is an idea that is rapidly gaining popularity:
The 26th amendment (granting the right to vote for 18
year-olds) took only 3 months & 8 days to be ratified! Why? Simple!
The people demanded it. That was in 1971…before computers, before e-mail, before cell phones, etc.
Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took
1 year or less to become the law of the land…all because of public pressure.
Congressional Reform Act of 2011
1. Term Limits.
12 years only, one of the possible options below.
A. Two Six-year Senate terms
B. Six Two-year House terms
C. One Six-year Senate term and three Two-Year House
terms
2. No Tenure / No Pension.
A Congressman collects a salary while in office and
receives no pay when they are out of office.
3. Congress (past, present & future) participates in
Social Security.
All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to
the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people.
4. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just
as all Americans do.
5. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise.
Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.
6. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.
7. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose
on the American people.
8. All contracts with past and present Congressmen are
void effective 1/1/12.
The American people did not make this contract with
Congressmen. Congressmen made all these contracts for themselves.
Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The
Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and back to work.
If each person contacts a minimum of twenty people then it will only take three days for most people (in the U.S. ) to receive the message. It is time.
