Fwd: We must work fast to stop the NUKE CALIFORNIA BILL (HR 2419)

[Guest guest]

AKA Bush's revenge for California going BLUE.

 

Tell your Senator or Representative, we won't pay them one more penny

to nuke our state. Today is the day to start calling your

representative and both senators to tell them that they get an F-

with regards to protecting your children's lives and an A+ in

actively working to make California uninhabitable.

 

OK, so they voted to use billions of your tax dollars for nuclear

weapons activities in this bill. We don't have national health care

or a decent educational system but bombs will make up for that. The

Senate version includes nuclear bunker busters. But this is a minor

concern, compared to the planned nuking of the Colorado River.

 

Next time, you drink a glass of water or take a shower, be aware that

both California Senators and all California Representatives (except

the one who didn't vote) voted to make your shower and drinking water

radioactive. Next time you bite into a piece of California-grown

fruit or a California-grown vegetable, remember that both California

Senators and all California Representatives (except the one who

didn't vote) voted to make that fruit or vegetable radioactive.

 

Is anyone here familiar with the effects of radiation poisoning?

Look at your kids and say to yourself, Boxer, Reid, Feinstein, all

Democratic Senators and all California Representatives (except the

one who didn't vote) think my kid should undergo radiation poisoning.

 

Now, do you really think that any of these people or any Presidential

candidates who voted for this deserve one penny from California

voters? Masochists may think so. The one California Representative

who didn't vote was Juanita Millender-McDonald. If she is not your

Representative and you live in California, your Representative voted

to nuke your state and your kids.

 

There was OPPOSITION, particularly in the House, led by Dennis

Kucinich and Ron Paul (who were among the 13 Representatives who

voted NAY).

 

Your Representative knew or should have known what he/she was doing.

Yesterday, one of the Representatives who voted for this bill told me

she had voted against Yucca Mountain. Though the roll call at

Thomas.loc.gov would disagree with her, she sounded very convincing.

Maybe, she missed the discussion of the bill, walked in and just

decided to vote " Yea " on whatever happened to be on the floor.

 

Where was the Democratic Leadership? If they were in Congress, they

voted to nuke California. If they were not in Congress, they said

nothing - absolutely nothing. They either were ignorant or didn't

care.

 

Extensive fraud has been used to push Yucca Mountain as far as it has

gone. The PHDC has a few of the links, which are just the tip of the

iceberg. Check out

The proposed Yucca Mountain Nuclear Waste Repository is a dangerous

and bad idea.

 

Delay in approval due to falsified documentation; possible

alternatives?

The Sierra Club is opposed to Yucca Mountain:

Yucca Mountain is a dangerous location for anything like a nuclear

waste site:

In an appearance before the State Senate Finance Committee late last

month, Attorney General Brian Sandoval predicted that the toxic waste

dump will never open. Sandoval accurately described the Yucca

Mountain site 90 miles northwest of Las Vegas as " a volcano that sits

on an earthquake fault above an aquifer, next to the Nevada Test

Site, next to one of the nation's largest organic farms, next to the

state's largest dairy, adjacent to ... (America's) fastest-growing

metropolitan area (and) next to one of the busiest Air Force bases in

the country. "

" If you could choose a worse place to store nuclear waste, I really

challenge you to do so, " he added. " It's just a matter of time before

this project fails. " Well said, Mr. Attorney General.

" Paul Craig, a physicist and engineering professor at the University

of California-Davis, said he quit the panel last month so he could

speak more freely about the waste dump's dangers. "

" For Nevadans, this is one of the biggest whoppers yet. Bush promised

Nevadans that as president he would rely on " sound science " as the

determining factor for the operation of the Yucca Mountain

Repository. Once in the White House, the Bush Administration

unveiled their real intentions: to ship 77,000 tons of highly toxic

nuclear waste to Yucca Mountain, located less than 100 miles

northwest of Las Vegas. "

" The nation's nuclear waste dump proposed for Nevada is poorly

designed and could leak highly radioactive waste, a scientist who

recently resigned from a federal panel of experts on Yucca Mountain

told The Associated Press on Wednesday. "

------------

 

What can you do? When this bill comes out of conference committee,

all Senators and Representatives need to oppose this bill. This will

only happen if we mount a quick, extensive phone calling, letter

writing and faxing campaign to get them to wake up. Tell them you,

your family and your neighbors will pull the purse strings, and

they'll have to get their money from another state, if they fail to

oppose this again.

 

If it passes, post-conference committee, our responsible option will

be to go to Nevada in massive numbers and lie down on the roads to

block construction and nuclear waste vehicles from getting to the

site. Some of it will be coming in by train. Good luck. We have

another option. We can move. I am a second-generation Californian

and I don't want to move. But like the rest of those in California,

I may have no choice. Bush's courts aren't going to stop his revenge

on our state.

 

 

P.S., Please get out the word on HR 2419. We only have a short time

to convince our leaders to change their mind and save our state.
