we petition the obama administration to:
Protect Children from Dangerous Air Pollution
My name is Alexandra Allred. My son Tommy and I met President Obama in 2007 when we came to Washington to protest air pollution in our hometown of Midlothian, Texas. Pollution caused Tommy to develop chronic asthma, and the President promised us he’d fight for clean air. But the administration’s recent decision to further delay long overdue smog protections was a very disappointing step backwards.
That’s why I’m calling on the President to honor his promise to Tommy and protect the health of Americans by working as hard as he can to keep dangerous pollutants like mercury, carbon and soot out of our air.
We're depending on President Obama to stand with the children most affected by polluted air, scientists and public health experts and deliver on his promise for clean air.

Tommy doesn't deserve to be saddled with a disease that will be with him all of his life if there is ANYTHING that can be done for him -- especially if it's as simple as our president simply following thru on his campaign promises.
