CDFA's Environmental Impact Report will be released today (to no surprise), they concluded that their LBAM eradication program including the aerial spraying that made so many sick and killed so many birds, had no negative impacts. Listen to 8 minute audio of the CDFA's statements about how great their program is on http://www.LBAMspray.com

Read the CDFA's Draft Environmental Impact Report
It claims that there are no "significant" or "unavoidable" impacts from any of their proposed program actions.

Do you want to be sprayed with toxins every month for years to come? The CDFA has plans for just that!

The California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) wants to spray your apartment, home, school, and hospitals with proven toxins and carcinogens that have injured hundreds of residents and over 650 birds. They will be coming to your area and will try to tell you that the eradication program is safe when it is not, they will try to tell you their programs is necessary when it is harmful, and they will try to tell you their program is the cure-all when it is will solve nothing.
