LET’S STOP THE $50 BILLION NUCLEAR/COAL BAILOUT
February 9, 2009
We have now confirmed that the “compromise” Senate stimulus bill still
contains the $50 Billion pre-emptive bailout for the dangerous and
dirty nuclear power and coal industries.
But as we’ve noted before, the version passed by the House of
Representatives does not include this provision.
Now we need to ensure that the House position prevails in the final
negotiations over the two versions. Please send a letter to your House
member now by clicking here.
And then please call your member at 202-224-3121.
We’ve been getting more than 1200 letters per day into the Senate! Now
let’s turn that focus to the House. Note: this letter is new, so even
if you’ve sent a letter to your Representative already, please send
the new one too.
And, please forward this Alert to all of your mailing lists, friends,
colleagues. Put it up on blogs, Facebook and Myspace pages, and
everywhere you communicate.
Let’s make clear we’re not willing to be the bankers of last resort
for new nuclear reactors and coal plants. Nor do we want more
dangerous radioactive waste and dirty coal ash piling up in our
communities.
Thank you to the thousands and thousands of you who have acted so far
in this campaign–your response has been amazing! But your help is
needed even more now. Congress is trying to finish the stimulus bill
this week–our actions now can make the difference! Click here to send
your message to your Representative.
After you do that, please consider making a small donation to help us
pay for this campaign. Your help is needed and gratefully appreciated.
Thanks for all you do,
Michael Mariotte
