And, that's exactly what the chemical industry has evolved into, an evil beast putting greed first before health, children's futures, and safety. Hoorah for Oregon Thank God we took a step in the right direction, it’s encouraging to know that if enough people stand behind a cause good can still overcome evil.

It was shocking to see chemical industry interests masquerade as citizen advocates, suggesting that we have to choose between fire safety and exposure to toxic chemicals. Of course, safer alternatives are already out there, and we don't have to compromise health or safety. I'm proud that Oregonians saw through this false choice.

One of the best moments was during the floor debate when a number of legislators, while voting in favor of the ban, hoped that we (Oregon and nationally) would soon see the light and find a comprehensive way to fixed the flawed chemical regulatory system. Music to our ears! Now the challenge is to hold them to that!
