Urgent: Stop The Nuclear/Coal Power Plant Fraud In The Stimulus Bill
The Pen
promoting wind and solar power in the new stimulus bill. But in the
Senate version of the bill, it's all a great, big, honking FRAUD,
because the 50 billion in loan guarantees for "eligible technologies"
there has been deceptively defined so that most of that money will
instead go to finance nuclear and filthy coal power plants instead.
We know this because Republican Senator Bennett from Utah made sure
that was the intent when he snuck this provision into the bill in the
Appropriations Committee. Why it is still there after Bennett himself
voted against the whole package is an outrage. But because the House
bill lacks this garbage provision, we still have a chance to remove
it in the reconciliation between the Senate and house versions.
And if that weren't bad enough, there is another billion for new
nuclear weapons development. That's not the kind of infrastructure we
were promised.
Because of the urgency of this action, please call your members of
Congress toll-free at 800-828-0498 or 800-459-1887 to raise an
immediate fuss about this. Then submit the action page below as well
as a follow up.
No Nuclear/Coal Subsidies In Stimulus Bill:

What a cruel and dishonest trick on the American people if this is
all allowed to pass, to foist the sludge spill disasters of the
future on us, in the sheep's clothing of a green energy spirit, which
is what we thought we were all voting for in the last election.
All they've talked about for years is how vulnerable nuclear power
plants would be to a possible terrorist attack, and now they want to
build many more?? And this is on top to the fact we have nowhere to
put all the dangerous nuclear waste existing plants have already
generated. This is not the change we were promised and it's time to
make that abundantly clear with our phone calls and emails. Please
make your toll-free calls and submit the action page above.
If They Can Prosecute Michael Phelps They Can Sure Prosecute Bush and
Cheney
In light of the growing movement for county by county prosecutions of
the former murderous occupants of the White House, did you catch the
story that Richland County, SC is hell bent on prosecuting swimmer
Michael Phelps for getting photographed with a bong, and has already
arrested 8 people. If they can threaten an Olympic champion with hard
time for being in the same room with a water pipe, they can damn well
bring charges against Bush and Cheney for the senseless murder of
citizens in their own county.
On the same return page from the stop nukes & coal action page above,
you can also find the new local county prosecutor lookup, which we
are using to call, write and email local district attorneys, asking
them to bring murder charges against George Bush and Dick Cheney as
urged by Vince Bugliosi. If any resident of your county was killed a
war based on false pretenses, Bugliosi says that district attorney
has grounds to bring murder charges. At the top of all these pages,
there is a link to a terrific YouTube video you can watch on this of
Bugliosi's House testimony.
There you will also find the request form for the new "Convict Dick &
W" caps, the ones with a little embroidered cowboy hat hung on the
"W", intended to ridicule the original cowboy from Connecticut
himself, who always looked about as at home on that fake Crawford
ranch as Eva Gabor looked on Green Acres. So if you have not
requested yours yet, you can get one from the return page after you
submit the statute of limitations extension action page.

The local prosecutor initiative is an important long term back up
action, intended to keep the heat on at the same time for a special
prosecutor at the federal level.
IMPORTANT NOTE: We are not asking anyone to file a "formal" criminal
complaint yourself. Common sense tells us that a state prosecutor
will only act, in the exercise of their OWN discretion, if they
believe there is a non-frivolous case to bring. But by speaking out,
we can let them know there is community support for them to do so.
Please take action NOW, so we can win all victories that are supposed
to be ours, and forward this alert as widely as possible.
