done, thanks Butch
Didn't the ama used to have these easy to use letter generators? I couldn't find one there.
Yeah but... Timing is important, and it is good to keep our legislators reminded... It is really, really important that when HR1913 is being discussed in committee or on the floor we inundated the Senators with calls, letters and emails.
If we did that all the time it would be good, but folks have jobs and kids and stuff. AMA, CORVA, BRC usually waits until something is in the frying pan before issuing a call to action and a letter generator. ARRA too. I am not sure how I came across this one.
I talked to Larry Smith with ARRA; he is in Washington DC doing this all the time. He rocks.
Thanks to all you guys. I'll try to get a status update.

"The bill has been sitting since July 12 in the Senate Energy and Natural Resources (ENR) Committee for review. According to Panetta’s office, the Senate has until the end of the 115th Congress, Jan. 2, 2019, to pass the bill. ENR leadership will determine which bills are brought up for a hearing and voted on. Typically, the majority will pick bills that align with their legislative agenda and the minority will push for bills that align with theirs. If there is not enough support by either party, the bill will stay in the committee and not receive a hearing or a vote.
If the bill does not become law during the 115th Congress, Panetta will need to reintroduce it in either the House or the Senate. He has until the end of December 2018 to get the bill signed into law. If it does not pass, he will have to reintroduce it, yet again, in the 116th Congress, January 2019-January 2021."

I should check on where this is at...
Meanwhile, it’ been ten years. This is still true:
Maybe we should stop using the term "natural occurring asbestos" because, technically, there is not such a thing.
The BLM and the EPA could be attempting to mislead the public to create unnecessary fear by using the term "natural occurring asbestos." Natural occurring serpentine deposits are common throughout California. In fact, serpentine is designated by the California legislature as the "State Mineral." Natural occurring serpentine regularly contains a mineral called "chrysotile," which is a commonly used mineral for asbestos production.
Many chrysotile deposits found throughout the world also contain other fibrous minerals, which are also used to product asbestos. Some of these other fibrous minerals have been linked with certain disease. But chrysotile has not been linked to any disease. It is critical to recognize that the chrysotile deposits found throughout the CCMA are free of those other fibrous minerals that have linked to disease.
The very small amounts of asbestos found in the EPA Clear Creek study is archaeological debris artifact residual from historic commercial importation. Portions of a Furnace and Piping left behind from the "early days" of Clear Creek is an example of this.
