Bush may again side with Big Business and risk our children's health

Is there no low to which George W. Bush will not stoop in order to protect the corporations from any inconvenience?

That's a rhetorical question, of course. If you've been paying attention over the past several years, you know the answer.

And now Bush is threatening to veto a new bipartisan product and toy safety bill due to pressure from the industries that manufacture hazardous products.

According to an e-mail from NotInMyCart.org, a project of Consumers Union, the bill would:

• ban lead in children’s products and toys;

• significantly increase funding and staff for safety inspections, including imports;

• give shoppers the latest information on problems and unsafe products; and

• prohibit certain chemicals, called phthalates, in children’s products.

The European Union and several other countries already have similar bans in place. They want to protect their children. But your president doesn't seem to care about your children. He seems to only care about keeping the rich corporations happy.

God bless America.
