Nor does congress want us to know how our representatives voted.

As if all the many other reasons to fail this Bill weren't enough, the following quote from the article itself makes voting down this Bill a slam dunk for any American legislator who truly cares about human life:

"The most dangerous part of the bill, its critics say, is Section 453 of the 2026 Department of Interior, Environment and Related Agencies. This portion of the proposed legislation will prevent the EPA and pesticide makers from taking the necessary legal and ethical precautions to inform the public about potential health dangers of pesticide and herbicide products including the controversial weed killer, Round Up."

Please do the job that MANY of you have not been doing the last many years. The job you are sworn to do: protecting the American people from biased special interests.

You were not hired to "get on tv" nor be interviewed, nor create a ruckus nor attempt to commit Treason. You are hired to protect the American people. Defeat this Bill.

AMEN. And FYI to consumers out there: if it's made by a chemical company to KILL ANYTHING, IT WILL MOST LIKELY KILL YOU TOO! ALWAYS LOOK FOR NATURAL ALTERNATIVES! Water, salt, vinegar kills weeds.

Amendment 453 must be deleted from the Appropriations bill. We’ve been down this road before with vaccines. I’ve contacted my representative and some on the Appropriations Committee.

I hope you'll keep your promise to help save small farms. Right now they are being regulated out of existence. Farmers also could use help learning how to farm productively without chemicals. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDMH3hgyBHY

If Little Zeldy and the “Great” RFKjr had ANY ethics they would be sounding the alarm about the dangers of pesticides. They would also have initiated a campaign to help pave the way for organic farming with solid proven methods of producing abundant food that is clean and healthy. As far as I am concerned, these two are phonies. Being from NY I can tell you that when he ran for Governor of NY and lost he folded his tent and left town faster than a snake oil salesman running from an angry mob.
