Poisoning the water!
Come protest July 2nd!

CT is loaded with invasive plants. DIQUAT, that kills EVERYTHING, isn’t the solution. It’s not even an effective solution since invasive plants are incredibly tough and it’s the invasive that come back first after the natives have been killed off. [Also true of insects.] There are far better ways to deal with these things.
Please share, call, or email these people even if you can’t come to Hartford.
[I, Selina, will be at this protest. I hate going to protests.]
From the video:
“After July 4th rivers and lakes are about to start being sprayed with an extremely toxic chemical called Diquat in Connecticut with plans to go nationwide This has been sprayed before (video 2 & 3) it kills EVERYTHING Politicians are getting rich off this deal along with many more people in government “Connecticut is about to poison its own lakes and rivers with a highly toxic chemical called diquat. And it seems like no one knows about it. It's actually a coordinated plan that they're about to roll out in states all over the country. This particular chemical is banned in Europe and highly toxic to humans and wildlife alike. I've even heard landscapers refer to diquat as the nuclear option. The way these scumbags are getting away with it is by saying it's used to kill an invasive plant species called hydrilla, which I'm sure it does, along with everything else in the water, and then us by circumstance. When I looked up if they were doing it in my state of Connecticut, I was shocked to see that right after the 4th of July, they plan on spraying it in several lakes out here. Of course, when you start to follow the money, you see how this plan has huge state funding and therefore is lining a whole lot of pockets. There's quite a few players involved and they really don't want us to know who they are and what their involvement is. So me being me, I listed all of their contact information in the caption below with exactly what their involvement to the issue is. (I’ll add the list below)”

“These filthy crooks thought they could do this right under our noses without us even knowing. I say we remind them who they work for. Spread the word, blow these people's inboxes up and let them know we don't approve of the spraying of diquat in our lakes and rivers. And let's come together and try to find a way to stop it.”
No matter what we’re talking about on any given week, getting people registered to vote is a big priority. That can be done online, or at your local town office. Making the commitment to get out and vote is in no way trivial. If you aren’t registered, get on that.
