Santa Clara County--A Few Volunteers Needed This Week! The CDFA plans to put twist
ties on private property in five small areas of Santa Clara County on Monday.
They claim that individual homeowners may refuse entry, but do residents know
this? We have a plan to let them know, and we need about ten volunteers to make
it happen! If you can help Thursday evening (that's tomorrow!) or this weekend,
please contact Simi Sikka at simiksikka@hotmail.com immediately!

"Spraying
to fight moth in Calif. could have economic impacts" "If my real
estate agent had knowledge of the spraying activity and didn't tell me, I could
certainly sue for misrepresentation," said real estate attorney Lewis Feldman"
By GARANCE BURKE, Associated Press Writer in Sfgate.com
"16
ounces of plutonium, if uniformly distributed, could wipe out the entire human
race". So, 1oz of plutonium can kill 418 million people (USA Population:
301 million). Joan, you are wrong to say that 1 ounce is a low exposure level.
1 oz of a new untested biochemical aerial sprayed over highly populated urban
areas can, will and did have a huge effect on humans and the environment!
