Free Trade Means America's Biggest Export Is Its Jobs
Current rating: 0
15 Oct 2003
Our disastrous trade policy is not only costing us millions of decent jobs but has put enormous downward pressure on wages as workers compete for an ever-shrinking pool of jobs. Despite huge increases in productivity, real wages for private-sector employees have dropped 8 percent since 1973. The average American is working longer hours for lower wages and most middle-class families now require two breadwinners to pay the bills.

EPA Failing To Protect Public From Weed-Killer's Cancer Threat, Says NRDC
Current rating: 0
15 Oct 2003
Atrazine is among the most used chemicals in farming, including areas around Central Illinois. According to the Illinois Department of Natural Resources "more than 96 percent of all cropland in Illinois was treated for weeds at least once a year" with the runoff going into surface water that is used for domestic water. While Champaign County gets most of its water from the underground Mahomet Aquifer, surrounding cities such as Bloomington-Normal, Danville, Decatur, and Springfield are dependent on surface water supplies. For more information on atrazine contamination in Illinois, visit these websites:
