Refuse Federal Funding for West Fertilizer Company's Destruction of the City of West Texas and its Citizens

Created by C.L. on April 21, 2013

Natural, unpreventable disasters such as Hurricane Sandy demand our national attention. When hundreds of thousands of our fellow Americans have their homes, businesses and lives destroyed, they need our financial support immediately.

A totally preventable, man-made explosion at the West Texas Fertilizer Company is exempt from Federal aid. The City of West ignored basic City Planning procedures by building homes, schools and businesses adjacent to dangerous chemicals. The State of Texas refused to have OSHA inspections.

Please tell the West Fertilizer Company that their insurance company is responsible for ALL expenses associated to this preventable accident.
