Barbara Dabms signed The Dirty Business Of Turning This Latino Farmworker Town Into A Toxic Wasteland 2013-10-09 12:02:00 -0700This is totally unconscionable. The farm worker community is exposed to too many toxins in their work. To bring the waste home to their living space is incredible and totally unacceptable. Stop, AND CLEAN UP the dump.
The Dirty Business Of Turning This Latino Farmworker Town Into A Toxic Wasteland
**Update via The Center on Race, Poverty & the Environment
Last Friday we submitted over 4,900 signatures and comments to the Department of Toxic Substances Control letting them know we aren't ok with Kettleman City being our state's dumping ground! Thank you to everyone who signed and the folks at Cuéntame for speaking up for what is right. We will keep you posted on the future of the dump's permit to expand by a whopping 50% (it is already the largest hazardous waste dump this side of the Mississippi River!)
Kettleman City is a rural, majority Latino and farmworker community halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco. It is home to the largest hazardous waste dump this side of the Mississippi and to shockingly high rates of childhood cancer, birth defects and miscarriages - two facts residents believe to be connected. WATCH THE FOLLOWING VIDEO EXPOSÉ.

Barbara Dabms signed [VIDEO] What Steve King Has In Mind When He Hears 'Latino Outreach' 2013-07-27 16:17:34 -0700Steve King, you’re a vicious liar. You’ve been out in the desert measuring young Mexican’s legs, huh?! It is You and people like you who keep the US from functioning properly. For your edification, I’m elderly, white, female and born and raised in the South. I am also familiar with your state and TX, AZ and CA.
Don’t generalize, fool! You don’t have to remove all doubt. We believe it. Oh, yes, were you a valedictorian?[VIDEO] What Steve King Has In Mind When He Hears 'Latino Outreach'
“For everyone who’s a valedictorian, there’s another 100 out there that weigh 130 pounds and they’ve got calves the size of cantaloupes because they’re hauling 75 pounds of marijuana across the desert."

Barbara Dabms signed Debbie: Say No To CCA! 2012-04-07 12:20:15 -0700Debbie, NO! What are you thinking? Private prison management is one of the most dangerous things to ever happen to the US. It must stop before we find ourselves back a couple of centuries.
There are things that must stay in the public charge, roads, health care, corrections are three of them. I keep wondering what is clouding the thinking of the DNC so oftern these days.Debbie: Say No To CCA!
Why is FL Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz siding with the Corrections Corporation of America and not her constituents in Southwest Ranches? 98% of her constituents DO NOT want a new for-profit immigrant detention center!
Add signatureIMMIGRANTS ARE NOT FOR SALE
We call on Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-20) to WITHDRAW her current endorsements for CCA’s project.
The Obama Administration announced a change in the priorities for detentions and deportations, to focus on real national security concerns, not on separating parents from their children or deporting DREAMers who are only seeking a better future.
It is time for ICE to stop the immigrant money making machine and tell CCA to GO AWAY from Southwest Ranches.THIS PETITION IS NOW CLOSED - WE REACHED OUR GOAL!!! But feel free to leave your comment!
