Dear [Sen./Rep.] [LAST NAME]:

I am writing to you with a mixture of frustration and deep concern regarding the recent decision to lift the ban on the pesticide chlorpyrifos. This decision, made by the federal Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals in 2023, is a grave disservice to the American people and a blatant disregard for public health and safety.

In 2021, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) took a commendable step by banning all uses of chlorpyrifos in food crops due to its well-documented and undeniable potential to cause severe neurological damage, particularly in children. The reinstatement of this neurotoxic substance in our food supply is nothing short of outrageous and morally indefensible.

Chlorpyrifos, an insecticide widely used in agriculture, poses significant risks to human health. The fact that it belongs to the same class of chemicals as sarin nerve gas should give pause to any rational decision-maker. Yet, despite overwhelming evidence of its dangers, the court's decision to lift the ban on chlorpyrifos displays a stunning lack of regard for the well-being of our citizens.

The acknowledgment within the court's decision that chlorpyrifos harms children, particularly through its presence in drinking water, only adds insult to injury. How can we, as a society, allow our most vulnerable populations to be exposed to such toxic substances without consequence?

As elected representatives, it is your duty to prioritize the health and safety of your constituents above all else. Therefore, I urge you to take immediate and decisive action to rectify this egregious decision. Congress must demand the reversal of the court's ruling and fully support the EPA's efforts to protect public health by reinstating the ban on chlorpyrifos.

The continued use of a pesticide known to cause brain damage on our food is not only abhorrent but also completely unacceptable. We cannot allow profit-driven interests to supersede the health and well-being of our communities, especially our children, who are most vulnerable to the harmful effects of neurotoxic chemicals.

I implore you to demonstrate courage and leadership by advocating for the immediate ban of chlorpyrifos. The health and safety of our citizens depend on it. Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter, and I eagerly await your prompt action.

Sincerely,
Signed
[YOUR NAME]
