    Please, my fellow citizens, I urge you to act at once to ban this deadly and widespread chemical.

    This petition is for the complete ban of Dihydrogen monoxide.

    Dihydrogen monoxide is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and kills uncounted thousands of people every year. Most of these deaths are caused by accidental inhalation of DHMO, but the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide do not end there. Prolonged exposure to its solid form causes severe tissue damage. Symptoms of DHMO ingestion can include excessive sweating and urination, and possibly a bloated feeling, nausea, vomiting and body electrolyte imbalance. For those who have become dependent, DHMO withdrawal means certain death.

    Dihydrogen monoxide:
    - is the major component of acid rain
    - contributes to the "greenhouse effect"
    - it can cause severe burns in its gaseous state
    - contributes to erosion
    - accelerates corrosion and rusting of many metals
    - may cause electrical failures and decreased effectiveness of automobile brakes
    - has been found in tumors of terminal cancer patients

    Despite the dangers, dihydrogen monoxide is often used:
    - as an industrial solvent and coolant.
    - in nuclear power plants.
    - in the production of styrofoam.
    - as a fire retardant.
    - in many forms of cruel animal research.
    - as an additive in certain "junk-foods" and other food products.

    Companies dump waste DHMO into rivers and the ocean, and nothing can be done to stop them because this practice is still legal.

    The American government has refused to ban the production, distribution, or use of this damaging chemical due to its "importance to the economic health of this nation." In fact, the navy and other military organizations are conducting experiments with DHMO, and designing multi-billion dollar devices to control and utilize it during warfare situations. Hundreds of military research facilities receive tons of it through a highly sophisticated underground distribution network. Many store large quantities for later use.

    If you truly care about the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide, please go HERE to sign the petition.

    Dihydrogen Monoxide, a.k.a. Hydric Acid, is no joke, it causes thousands of deaths in the US alone every year! This chemical is everywhere, chances are there is a high level of it IN YOUR OWN HOME!
