The California state Assembly is voting on two monumental bills in the next 24 hours. SB 1713 would ban bisphenol A (BPA), a hormone disruptor, from baby bottles, sippy cups, and infant formula. SB 1313 would ban cancer-causing PFCs (Teflon chemicals) from food products

California could pave the way for the nation. But we're up against a powerful and well-funded enemy -- the chemical industry. Right now, the industry's minions are calling California households, advertising in our newspapers, and lobbying our assembly members.

It's up to us to stop them. They may have money, but we have numbers. Our assembly members need to hear from us today.

I just called my assembly member and asked them to vote YES on SB 1713 and SB 1313. You can, too.

BPA is linked to cancer and early puberty. Canada is moving rapidly to ban it, but there are no federal standards in the U.S. PFCs are linked to cancer, too.

If we don't stand up to the chemical industry, no one will. Tell your assembly member to support safe baby bottles, sippy cups, canned food, and food packaging -- and not to cave to industry pressure.

Time is running out -- don't wait to make your voice heard. Stand up for children's safety today.

Here is the message that we are going to append:

Your assembly member is deciding on SB 1713 and SB 1313 in the next 24 hours. It's up to you to make sure they vote YES. Take action today.
