A message from our friends at NIRS:

JULY 25—NATIONAL SENATE CALL-IN DAY
STOP TAXPAYER FUNDING OF NUCLEAR REACTORS
DEMAND AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE PRIVATE FUEL STORAGE PROJECT

This is a reminder of the national call-in day to the Senate on Monday, July 25 to stop the energy bill, stop taxpayer funding of nuclear power, and call Congress to the carpet for its failure to oversee the proposed Private Fuel Storage high-level waste dump on Skull Valley Goshute land in Utah.

We urge each one of you to support the efforts of musicians Ani DiFranco and The Indigo Girls, actors James Cromwell and Joan McIntosh, and Skull Valley Goshute tribal members Margene Bullcreek and Lena Knight, all of whom are coming to D.C. to hold a congressional and press briefing on these issues, and meet with individual Senate offices throughout the day. Even if you've called your Senators before, call them again on Monday!

Activate your phone trees! If you don't have a phone tree, take a little time this weekend to set one up—Monday will be a perfect test of it. Send this e-mail to everyone on your lists! Arrange Monday breakfast or lunch call-in sessions with friends and co-workers. Try a 4 pm Call-in Hour instead of Happy Hour.

This is also a good time to ask your friends and colleagues to sign the Petition for A Sustainable Energy Future at www.nirs.org and visit our animation at www.nukeretro.com where you can send an e-mail to your Senator on July 25 as well.

Let's keep the phones ringing all day in the Senate July 25! Together, we can stop the waste of taxpayer dollars on nuclear power and prevent the unjust PFS project.

Thanks!
