SHAME!!!!!
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.

Deborah Smith signed [VIDEO] What Steve King Has In Mind When He Hears 'Latino Outreach' 2013-07-27 17:38:07 -0700WE NEED REAL REFORM, AND A SOLUTION TO THE CURRENT PROBLEM. WE NEED TO GET RID OF THE BORN IN U.S.A. AUTOMATICALLY MAKES YOU A CITIZEN, THIS IS AN OUTDATED LAW. NEEDS TO BE UPDATED. AT LEAST ONE PARENT NEEDS TO ALREADY BE A CITIZEN. THE OLD LAW WAS IN A TIME THAT THE U.S.A. WAS NEW , AND LOOKING FOR POPULATION. ONE REQUIREMENT TO CITIZENSHIP SHOULD BE A MUST KNOW HOW TO READ AND WRITE IN ENGLISH!!! I HAVE LIVED IN A DIFFERENT COUNTRY, AND NOT KNOWING HOW TO READ AND WRITE IN THAT LANGUAGE IS A REAL HANDICAP, AND REALLY CREATES PROBLEMS.
