Did anyone else just watch Link TV's program on 9/11 workers?

[Neecy]

It was produced by the Sierra Club, and documented the health hazards 9/11 rescue and recovery workers were subjected to (in large part due to EPA's negligence, incompetence, or deliberate misinformation - take your pick).

It was stunning and incredibly sad. Grown men crying because they did so much for their city and country and their government just abandoned them. It showed a group of three of them trying to lobby congress and these fat-cat congressmen just brushing them off.

They gave a link to the program with some segments you can watch - it'll make you furious. I hate these evil greedy Bush bastards for a lot of reasons, and this is one of them.

1. that sanctimonious hypocrite wrapping himself in 9-11, flag, Jesus

and then abandoning these people, words can not describe the job he has done as president.

2. I also heard from some law enforcement friends that all the search dogs

used at the WTC site after 9/11 are all dead. None of them lasted a year, they said.

3. what made me so mad about the lobbying scene...

Is that these were average Americans trying to speak to members of Congress about an urgent need. They weren't big K Street lobbyists, didn't have loads of money to dump on their doorsteps, weren't slick and well-dressed, and these Congressmen wouldn't give them the time of day. After numerous brush-offs one of them, a big, tough looking guy broke down and stood at a window and wept.

Made you real proud of our government, and how our *real* concerns are treated.
