Dear xxxx,

First the asbestos companies poisoned our heroes; now they're pushing an asbestos bill that provides a billion dollar corporate bailout but leaves veterans with nothing.

Even worse, some of the largest asbestos companies - operating through a lobby group called the Asbestos Study Group (ASG) - are running a fraudulent public relations campaign using veterans as a front to push an asbestos bill that provides them a corporate bailout of at least $20 billion.

Our friends at Protecting America's Families are organizing veterans and their family members opposed to this outrageous corporate bailout. Sign the Petition!

The bottom line is the day the bill passes the asbestos companies are relieved of all liability and handed a bailout worth billions. This comes at the expense of veterans who honorably served their country.

Read about veteran and asbestos victim Robert Johnsen of San Jose, CA.

Read about veteran and asbestos victim Bernard Roy of Edgewater, FL

Read about the late Fred Magee of Bogalusa, LA. A veteran and asbestos victim.

If you are not a veteran or family member of a veteran, please spread this message to others. The Senate is debating the bill right now, so time is critical.
