Subject: Less than 24 hours left to save silver
Date: Mar 19, 2009
Hi, Steve Barwick here, for www.TheSilverEdge.com
There are now less than 24 hours left to save products containing silver nano-particles (including colloidal silver) from being regulated by the EPA as a "pesticide," which ultimately will, in effect, put most colloidal silver manufacturers out of business. If you are unfamiliar with this issue, please go to the Colloidal Silver Secrets blog at www.ColloidalSilverSecrets.blogspot.com and read the latest posts there.
If you are aware of the issue, then you know how vitally important it is to make sure your voice is heard. Even if you have emailed, called, written or posted your comments to the EPA web site in the recent past, please do so again.
The environmentalists who are suing the EPA to regulate silver as a "pesticide" are pulling out all stops to make sure they win this battle, including lying about new medical studies which they claim prove that silver is harmful to cellular replication, when the studies in fact demonstrate no such thing.
Here is the contact information (phone, fax, email) you need to let the EPA know you are against the regulation of silver nano-particles as "pesticides," plus some verbiage you can use if you don't have a lot of time to write your own:
Email Your Comments: Email your comments opposing the petition to regulate silver particles as “pesticides” to the new EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson. Her email address is: jackson.lisa@epa.gov
Phone the EPA Administrator's Office: To call the EPA Administrator's office and voice your opinion on this issue, dial (202)-564-4700
Fax Your Comments: Fax your comments to EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson, at her Washington DC fax number: (202)-501-1450.
If you don’t have personal access to a fax machine (they are available to use for just a few dollars at just about any local “Mail Boxes Etc.” or “UPS Store”) then use the EPA public comments page. But that’s only a last ditch choice. Right now, faxes will make the most dramatic impact, followed by your personal phone calls and emails.
If you can, please do all three. We need to make a righteous noise for the next three days. And we need to start now. Just call, fax and email the EPA saying the following:
Dear EPA Administrator Jackson,
Regarding the Petition for Rulemaking Requesting EPA Regulate Nanoscale Silver Products as Pesticides, Docket #: EPA-HQ-OPP-2008-0650-0506:
I respectfully request the EPA reject the petition by environmental groups such as Center for Technology Assessment and Friends of the Earth to force the regulation of silver nanoparticles as ‘pesticides.’
The petition is clearly without merit, as there is no evidence to suggest that tiny particles of silver are causing any harm whatsoever to the environment.
Such a new regulatory burden should not be undertaken by the EPA with such flimsy evidence, which amounts to little more than conjecture and exaggeration on the part of the environmentalists.
It is particularly important that you do not attempt to regulate any form of colloidal silver dietary supplement – regardless of its content -- as a “pesticide” as this is not only outside of the regulatory purview of the EPA, but is detrimental to the widely acknowledged health freedoms of all Americans.
Sincerely
Note: In your faxes and emails, please be sure to reference “Petition for Rulemaking Requesting EPA Regulate Nanoscale Silver Products as Pesticides,” and Docket #: EPA-HQ-OPP-2008-0650-0506. That way the EPA knows exactly what you are talking about.
Please act quickly and decisively. There are only a few hours left to help turn the tide of public opinion against this petition to have silver regulated as a “pesticide.”
