Sen. Bill Nelson on tainted imported drywall

Sen. Nelson was joined by Sen. Mary Landrieu today at a press conference on tainted drywall imported from China. Tests on drywall samples were done at the request of Sens. Nelson and Landrieu, who have initiated an investigation into complaints from homeowners in their respective states, Florida and Louisiana, that drywall in newer or rebuilt homes smells like rotten eggs and is causing corrosion of copper wiring and household appliances. In addition, homeowners are complaining of health problems such as asthma, coughing, headaches and insomnia.

On March 10, 2009, Senator Nelson voted to table Sen. Jeff Sessions' amendment to the 2009 Spending Omnibus -- essentially killing the The E-Verify employment verification program. Sen Nelson likes the billions of dollars in the Stimulus bill to be able to go to his politically connected contractors that hire illegal aliens- E Verify would have stopped that. go to Numbersusa to learn more

Mr Senator,

What have you done to put Knaupf, a GERMAN company, that produced the "Chinese dywall" on notice? Why is that company's USA branch or its insurance companies not doing anything to help your constituents?

Don't you know that paper or carton faced drywall manufactured in the USA is creating worse havoc than any Chinese drywall imported? All paper faced drywall is a host to toxic mold and mildew accountable for most sick buildings.

Go after the companies responsible!

Hats off to Senators Nelson and Landrieu

for helping to focus attention on this critical problem. Congress needs to send a clear message that America will not tolerate being a dumping ground for toxic Chinese products.
