Congratulations Environmental Working Group
Submitted by village on Fri, 06/13/2008 - 07:53.Exposed Chromium Fraud. An EWG investigation revealed that safety standards from chromium-6 – the “Erin Brockovich” chemical – had been skewed by a faked cancer study.... Media coverage led the Environmental Protection Agency to stop registration of all residential uses of a wood preservative containing chromium-6, keeping a potent carcinogen from entering the bloodstream of millions of unsuspecting children, homeowners, and workers.

Letters to Los Angeles Times
Submitted by thecontractorss... on Wed, 06/04/2008 - 20:13.Dear Fellow Contractors
Please resend this email to the Los Angeles Times (robert.lopez@latimes.com) and then send this on to ten other contractors and so on, so we can let the press know how honest contractors feel.
Thecontractorsside.com
Read with interest your story on unlicensed contractors being busted.
This is of interest to legitimate contractors everywhere, however, I do not see and have not seen one
article anywhere, in any publication, that gives favorable mention to the contractors who slug it out
every day in a tough business.
Contractors already know that unlicensed contractors hurt the business, but reports of this nature
tend to tar all contractors with the same broad brush. In this state, contractors operate under the

MCS - A Real Disease
Submitted by angelontheair on Sun, 06/01/2008 - 22:35.MCS affects millions of Americans with debilitating health effects. Just because you don't understand something doesn't mean it isn't real.
Remember, just because you don't understand something doesn't mean it doesn't exist. If someone mentions to you they have an environmental illness, sickbuilding syndrome, multiple chemical senstivity or mold poisoning, take them serious. Most who suffer from such illnesses already feel hesitant to talk about it because people often look at us like we have a big spot on our forehead. Surely, we are making a great big deal out of some little allergy! Nothing could be further from the truth.

MEMORIAL DAY SPECIAL
Submitted by thecontractorss... on Fri, 05/23/2008 - 07:20.Congratulations
Thank you for your interest in contributing to the Mommie Hammer Project.
We, as contractors, are taking a solid step towards getting early diagnosis of breast cancer
via paying for mammograms for women who cannot afford them. Mammograms either detect
the first signs of the disease, or they ease the minds of women who suspect they might have
breast cancer. Both are good things.
Here are the details:
The minimum contribution we ask is $25.00 plus $3.00 for shipping and handling. You may
contribute more if you'd like, or you may buy more than one item. Please include
your business card so we can put your information as a contributor on the Honor Roll of
thecontractorsside.com. Please contact Heather @ 818 264 9931.

PUNCH LIST
Submitted by thecontractorss... on Tue, 05/20/2008 - 05:24.PUNCH LIST
Category: Jobs, Work, Careers
Punch List:
The Mommie Hammer Dutch Auction closes tomorrow. Don't wait get on eBay and make your bid. Any figure over $25.00 is going to get a hammer, a $20.00 savings certificate from thehardwarecity.com, a listing on thecontractorsside.com Honor Roll.
Top ten bidders get named by name on HomeTalkUSA.
I might mention that there is coverage on this story by The New York Times, The Washington Post, and
The Los Angeles Times. They think we'll tank on the Mommie Hammer, and frankly, with the way they've
been covering contractors lately, I think they're wishing we will.
Dontcha just hate when the punch list is just one item that you've been meaning to do, but you just
haven't gotten around to it?

EVERDAY HEROES
Straight-up people in the construction trade, the ones who work everyday in a rough and sometimes difficult business have banded together for a rare and fairly public task. They want to have an effect on the terrible ravages of breast cancer.
Under the leadership of thecontractorsside.com, a widely disparate and independent group of competitors has allied from their own numbers to raise money for mammograms. This money is targeted specifically for women who may be of high risk and who need early detection.

The Mommie Hammer has a pink handle so there's no mistaking to whom the hammer belongs. It is a durable, quality product that in no way resembles a bouquet of flowers, but it will remind the user every time she picks it up that the giver was thinking of her when it was bought.
