Camp Lejeune Water Contamination
Jerry Ensminger started an online petition earlier this year on Change.org to call for medical coverage for victims of water contamination at Camp Lejeune. He collected 135,000 signatures from supporters and was present in the Oval Office on August 6, 2012 when President Obama signed a bill providing medical coverage for those exposed to cancer-causing chemicals at the North Carolina military base.
Although not widely talked about nowadays, Camp Lejeune is the site of the worst case of water contamination in US history where up to one million people were exposed to cancer-causing chemicals. While living near the base Ensminger's daughter developed childhood leukemia and died at the age of nine.
Most of us are not paying much attention to how our water supplies are being compromised and poisoned. Help spread the word about our most precious resource: water.
Visit Jerry's website to read more about his 15 year battle to seek medical assistance for those suffering from the exposure through the water at Camp Lejeune. The Few, The Proud, The Forgotten
Take the time to find out what's in the water in your community. You'll be glad you did.
