Say no to nuclear waste

Gov. Butch Otter and Attorney General Lawrence Wasden in January agreed to welcome huge quantities of dangerous nuclear waste into Idaho from other locations, to be received in June 2015 and again in January 2016. In doing so, they threw Idaho and its human residents, visitors, animals, birds, fish, land, forests, rivers, creeks, ponds, campgrounds, farms, crops, real estate, cattle and aquifer into eons of radioactive ravaging.

Please express your awareness and opposition to such a vastly contaminating, damaging and unhealthy plan by emailing Otter right away (online search takes you to his website and email link), and learn more and how to protect Idaho from becoming a nuclear waste dump now and for thousands of future years by connecting with the Snake River Alliance at www.snakeriveralliance.org, or call them at (208) 344-9161.

There is hope for stopping the receipt of harmful nuclear waste if we act together now so that Idaho can be a safe, healthy, enjoyable, prosperous and refreshing place for life to thrive. And Psalm 46:1 offers the encouragement that “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”
