About

The California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) intend to begin spraying over our urban city of SAN FRANCISCO in AUGUST of 2008. Low-flying planes will fly back and forth over 'infested' areas, spraying pesticides over the city. Pesticides will last for roughly 60 days - And they will re-spray every month. We will be advised to stay indoors, to avoid a list of symptoms related to the spray. CDFA plans to continue spraying each month for up to 3 years or indefinitely until the moth is eradicated. The campaign began in fall 2007 and used two pesticides that have a synthetic moth pheromone as the active ingredient along with a host of other toxic ingredients.

Thousands of California residents are being sprayed with potentially harmful and partially undisclosed chemicals.

Let's join forces!
