Toxic drinking water and the cancer epidemic in Rhode Island

Cancer volunteer's letter in Warwick Beacon

  I commend Ethel Ricci for her concern with this cancer scare in Rhode Island. Medical research will support the notion that a toxic environment is the big factor in creating these cancer victims.

 Just how safe is our drinking water ? TV and radio advertising is always scaring people ( who can afford it ? ) to buy water purifying and filtration systems. Are not working class Rhode Island residents " entitled " to safe drinking water ?

   Too many Rhode Island politicians are no more responsible to the public than those scoundrels in Flint, Michigan. Unregulated capitalism is being challenged only by that " socialist " Democrat Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont.

   We are " feeling the Bern " here in Rhode Island. He gave the state's Democratic establishment a black eye in the recent primary.


To the Editor:
    " On May 11, I will be at the Rhode Island State House to represent cancer patients and survivors from Warwick to call on Rhode Island’s state legislature to make cancer-related health policies a priority. In 2016 alone, an estimated 6,190 Rhode Islanders will be diagnosed with cancer. I will be joining over 75 American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN) volunteers from across the state to advocate for legislation that can help bring this number down."
