Polly Tarpley signed The Dirty Business Of Turning This Latino Farmworker Town Into A Toxic Wasteland 2013-10-09 13:57:28 -0700GUILTY!!!! Dept. of Toxic Substances Control and Waste Management! GUILTY of lies, GUILTY of evasion, GUILTY of killing babies and damaging babies! What is not understood? Follow the money. There are doubtless lobbyists funded by these organizations, who are “greasing” the palms of members of the government to push through their heinous plans. The citizens of Kettleman City, regardless of their race, creed or color, deserve to be treated as human beings, not as chattel!! Shame on all who are allowing this travesty to continue.
Where on earth it Governor Brown in the middle of all this horror?
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.

Polly Tarpley signed [VIDEO] What Steve King Has In Mind When He Hears 'Latino Outreach' 2013-07-27 12:11:30 -0700These extremely biased “clowns” have no concept of civil discourse! Their continued spewing of ugly racial slurs and rhetoric is disgusting. It is also conduct unacceptable for those who claim to be leaders of our nation. Shame on the whole batch of them; this constantly having to be on guard against the juveniles in Congress is very wearying and leads to a complete lack of belief and trust in anything they say!

Polly Tarpley signed If You Don't Speak Up, They Will Speak For You... 2013-02-22 11:27:47 -0800These folks remind me of the way the white people in my native Florida would talk about “the colored race!” Shameful, inaccurate, biased, inhumane; the names are many the effects are intentional and the same. SHAME ON ALL OF THEM! They bring shame to all of us!

Polly Tarpley signed Debbie: Say No To CCA! 2012-04-09 08:59:11 -0700No private entities should be making their profits on the backs of prisoners!
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!
