I am appauled at the lax regulations in place concerning pesticides. As a United States citizen, I expect my government to protect me and my fellow citizens from the dangers of harmful pesticides. It is proven that farm workers and consumers who come in contact with pesticides have much increased rates of cancer. It is also proven that pesticides can be harmful to the environment. The EPA needs to enforce tougher standards in order to protect the American people. This is a type of homeland security I'd like to see seriously addressed! Olivia Clemens
