The PCBs dumped by the Fox River Group of industries from 1954 to roughly 1990 have been allowed to spread to the point where PCBs are found virtually everywhere in Northeast Wisconsin --- in the water, air, soil, plants, wildlife and humans. 

This is the equivalent of trespassing on private property and toxic assault against individuals. 

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, signed by the U.S. in 1948, says (Article 3), "Everyone has the right to life, liberty, and security of person."  Article 4, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution obligates the federal government to protect the citizenry against "domestic violence" which arguably includes modern forms of domestic violence such as toxic assault.

We’ve heard many excuses for pollution over the years.  It’s time for a discussion of the public’s right to live in healthy surroundings without chemical trespassing.  The corporations have had too much political power, allowing them to avoid pollution controls, clean-up and accountability for the damage they’ve caused, for many decades.  This must change.
