PLEASE DO YOUR PART...

Please do your part to ensure the safety of our troops...

In April of 2003, members of the Indiana National Guard were protecting KBR employees at a power plant in Southern Iraq. After their service, some of these troops exhibited signs of cancer, tumors and rashes, and new reports indicate that these injuries may be the result of exposure to toxins present at the site.
Incredibly, CBS News has uncovered evidence that KBR may have known about the risks months before it took any action to inform those soldiers.
Please take a minute to join over 5,000 other people who have already signed the petition, and tell KBR to come clean.

The petition reads:
To: William Utt, CEO of KBR
It's time for you to cooperate with the military and with Congress to find out exactly what is happening to those members of the military who may have been exposed to hexavalent chromium, and who are now showing dangerous symptoms.
Our troops deserve the best possible effort to ensure that their health and well being is protected. There is too much at risk to not move as quickly as possible to take action on this issue.
I stand with IAVA in calling on you to come clean.


It will only take a minute. All you have to do is put in your name, email address, and zip code.

Here's the link:
