  1. Please bring any children’s jewelry, toys or other products you would like to have screened for harmful heavy metals like cadmium or lead
  2. I will host a free screening of children’s products for toxic heavy metals this Saturday at 1pm at the Burlingame Recreation Center
  3. Today is #WorldAIDSDay. We must pay tribute to those who have been lost by renewing our fight against this cruel and growing epidemic
  4. Pentagon’s new report showed that DADT repeal won’t harm the military. The time has come to end this discriminatory policy once and for all
  5. Read AP story on lead/cadmium. It’s indefensible that products from overseas can endanger kids without undergoing tests http://bit.ly/dZE1gO
  6. I voted today and hope you will do the same! For polling locations see http://bit.ly/B6liW and http://bit.ly/chDidR
  7. I will convene a Town Hall Meeting for San Bruno residents on all matters related to the pipeline. St. Robert’s Church 10/29, 6:30 pm.
  8. The next Job Hunters Boot Camp is on Oct. 25. Register now by calling my office at 650-342-0300 or emailing speier.events@mail.house.gov.

  10. New patient protections starting today make our health care system more equitable and accessible to all Americans http://bit.ly/beusvI
  11. Senate GOP blocking DADT repeal is disgraceful. Every qualified man and woman willing to serve in the military should be allowed to do so.
  12. Elizabeth Warren is the best choice to get the CFPB up and running, and I commend President Obama for appointing her. http://bit.ly/cZFB93

  15. I will be on the Ronn Owens Show in 2 minutes, 11:35 am, to talk about Craigslist. Tune in if you can, 810 AM.
  16. I just visited a newly repaved runway at SFO. The FAA finished the $14.5 million project funded by stimulus money ahead of schedule.
  17. A new federal ban will reduce the amount of sewage dumped into the water by 80% a year, or 20.4 million gallons. Great news for California!
  18. I will be on the Gene Burns Show tonight at 7 pm to talk about the overlooked cost of war. Please tune into KGO Radio, 810 AM.
  19. In case you missed my op-ed in Sunday's Chronicle: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2010/08/14/INIU1ENRJ8.DTL
  20. Elizabeth Warren isn’t afraid to shake-up the male-dominated culture of Wall Street. She’s the best choice for #CFPB http://politi.co/bjUXyr
