[w8liftinglady]

as always,edit me for spelling,punctuation and content.Thanks.as always

Recently,The House of Representatives passed H.B. 1. The goal of H.B. 1 is to cut Federal spending on unnecessary items.

You can read more on this bill here:
http://www.gop.gov/bill/112/1/hr1

One area these representatives have chosen to cut is The Poison Control Center.

The Poison Control Center serves many purposes. It offers recommendations to emergency rooms for treatment of various poisons ..both man-made and natural(i.e. animal,plant,insect and reptile exposure). It offers referrals for specific poison treaments(i.e. centers that provide emergency dialysis,medications and advanced medical therapies). It refers citizens to resources for poison prevention and education. And,finally,it supports research into further treatment for poison exposures.

A 27 million dollar reduction in the $29 million budget is up for a vote in the Senate.This cut will affect 57 Poison Control Centers in The United States and U.S. Territories. In states with limited funding,it may completely eliminate the program's existance.

After you have researched how your House member has voted, PLEASE contact your Senator and plead for reconsideration of this budget elimination.This can not be considered pro-life by any stretch of the imagination.
The lives of your family and your neighbors depend on the availability of this program.

1. When some powerful Repubs toddler grandchild dies because of this B.S.

I hope they'll come out and say this change is "working like it's supposed to". Like they said about that poor woman who wasn't allowed an abortion for her doomed baby. Oh wait, it's different when it effects them, isn't it?
