Hi, David, you found the blog

September 26, 2007 Still No Picture of Faces Against ASARCO  I did find one picture on the Get Out the Lead blog (http://epgtlo.blogspot.com/2007/09/asarco-demonstration.html).  (They are big fans of me!!!) [not! ].... It would be a shame to think they dragged all those people out next to a huge sewage treatment plant on Sunday afternoon for nothing. "

Ah, David, why would you have a problem standing beside the treatment plant?  It is only just above the canal that delivers a lot of our drinking water.  Do you know something I don't know about that plant?

The Epgtlo blog is not the GTLO blog - that is www.gettheleadout.net.   You can see that on the same fliers you mentioned.  Please get your facts straight.

"I also heard that there was some interesting visa swapping in order to get some Juarez folks over the border." 
Haven't heard this, David.  Perhaps you should ask the people directly.  Or are you relying on hearsay again?

Sign up for a google alert whenever "Asarco" appears.  I have seen many pictures of the event because of the alert.  You can always contact one of those bloggers for a better copy of their photo.

El Paso Times Letter to the Editor on 9-24-07

Facts hidden

We know that for nearly 10 years, Asarco illegally handled and burned toxic waste for big profits, and that they never told us. We know that our government hid that from us for eight years.

Some Asarco workers tell me that it never hurt them to work there; some tell me differently. But no Asarco workers have told me that they trusted Asarco to tell them what went through that plant -- even two people who tested the material for the metals that Asarco wanted to smelt.

We've been lied to by Asarco, the TCEQ and the EPA.

Now the toxins are hidden in the water pumped up the mountain and sent to the city. They are in the dust stirred up in our air, and the rain streaming off our properties. We'll carry the lie as a silent random poison in our lungs, our bones and our bodies and some of it may pass to unborn children from the mothers.

It is time to end the lie, close the smelter, demand honest services from our government and begin the long process of cleanup.
