I received this e-mail last month. Thought I should bring it to
everyone's attention.

> Hello,
> I am asking for the Green Party to lead a Congressional
> investigation into the matter of the Bush administration perjuring
> itself in the Ca. tuna case. Safeway does not want this to get
> out. Safeway tried to make it look like I was going to blackmail
> them on this issue. I state that to customers while waiting on them
> with management watching.
> The Bush administration places money over the lives of the
> American people it has the duty to defend under the U S
> constitution. It will even practice perjury in order for members of
> its administration to make money. Steve Burd was one of the Bush
> administration Home Land Security advisors. The company he is CEO
> of is Safeway and the state of Ca. wanted to put warning labels on
> some of its food products so it went to court because Safeway
> refused to do so. The federal government wrote a letter to defend
> Safeway and in it the federal government stated that what the state
> of Ca. claimed had no scientific basis to it and also that the
> federal government did not want fish sells to go down. The claim
> that there is no scientific basis is not true. We have known for a
> long time that methylmercury and mercury binds to DNA. We have
> various scientific methods to show that this occurs. For example in
> circular dichroism studies one uses how items absorb beams of
> polarized light
> in order to determine the structure of an item. Different items
> absorb light in different ways and at different wave lenghts.
> Another way is to use DNA sedimentation rates. Different items have
> different rates of moving through sediments and that is the reason
> for using this way to look at things. The next one I will mention
> is nuclear magnetic spectroscopy (nmr). Nmr spectroscopy looks at
> how items absorb radio waves in a strong magnetic field. The last
> one I will mention is thermal analyses. Heat is used to look at
> things because things behave differently at different temperatures.
> The point I want to make here is that all these different ways of
> looking at things show that mercury binds to the DNA and anything
> that binds to the DNA can potentially cause problems to the DNA. We
> have known that mercury and methylmercury mutate genes years before
> the court case. Safeway and the Bush administration do not care if
> your DNA gets messed up due to methylmercury and mercury.
> If you do not believe what I state look up the Ca. court case the
> People of the State of California v Tr-Union Seafoods, LLC, et al.
> (case no. CGC-04-432394) since Safeway was in that court case and
> claimed that DNA damage does not happen by methylmercury.
> Over two hundred years ago we knew that mercury reacted with
> oxygen. Studies by two of the most famous scientists in the history
> of science found this to be important in their studies of oxygen.
> J. Priestley who is best known for the discoverer of oxygen and
> doing some of the first studies of photosynthesis used this fact in
> his studies of oxygen. A. L. Lavoisier who is known for his work in
> animal respiration also found mercury's ability to react with oxygen
> useful in his studies. One can find these people's names in high
> school science textbooks. The reason I state this is the fact that
> this reaction is one of the reasons why mercury causes birth
> defects, cancer and miscarriages. Lets look at the periodic
> table because things are grouped together by the fact they have
> common traits. Mercury is found in the transitional metal group. A
> common reaction to this group is the Fenton reaction. It is the
> name for the reaction of these metals with oxygen and it creates r
> eactive oxygen species. Reactive oxygen species is what causes the
> destruction of DNA and thus causes what the state of Ca. claimed in
> court. Right next to mercury is cadmium which is a known cancer
> agent and it causes cancer by doing this reaction. Mercury does the
> Fenton reaction at the temperature which living things live at but
> at a slow rate according to a chemistry book. Also various science
> papers that I have read state reactive oxygen species levels go up
> due to methylmercury.
> Mercury mutates various genes found mutated in cancer
> patients. Some of these genes are p53, Fos, Jun and L1. The
> mutation of either Fos or Jun genes can cause tumor growth. L1
> mutaions are due to retrotransposition of DNA which causes lots of
> problems to the DNA due to the misreading of DNA and this can be
> found in breast and blood cancers.
> We have population studies out of Japan that show areas in
> Japan that had methylmercury problems have a higher rate of cancer and
> prebirth deaths. I have listed a couple of them below in the
> listing of science papers to back up my statements.
> Now I should state some textbooks state that a change in a
> single gene is not important but that is not true. The last time I
> checked there was around six thousand human diseases caused by a
> single bases change of a gene. For example there are osteogenesis
> imperfecta (brittle bone disease) and sickle cell anemia diseases
> caused by a single base changed
> Mercury also causes nondisjunction of the chromosomes. This
> has been known for decades and it is because it impairs spindle
> function thus the cell cannot divide correctly. Various human
> diseases are caused by the nondisjunction of the chromosomes such as
> Down's syndrome, Edward's syndrome and Patau's syndrome.
