Senator Corzine Steps Up To The Plate
Echoing what was said by John Kerry and John Edwards, New Jersey Senator John Corzine is proposing action to help safeguard America's chemical resources from the threat of terrorism.
Bush Put Big Money Corporate Contributors Above Homeland Security In the U.S.
There are more then 100 chemical plants each of which threaten a million or more Americans with crippling injuries or death in the event of a terrorist attack. You and your family probably live in the shadow of one.
Right after 9/11 Senator Corzine introduced a bill that would have put safeguards in place to prevent terrorists from getting at our chemical plants and turning them into weapons of mass destruction. Incredibly, it ran into heavy opposition from chemical industry lobbyists who had President Bush and the Republican leadership dump the bill. They replaced it with a toothless bill that rubberstamped voluntary industry programs, leaving hundreds of plants with little or no security.
