    Third Friday of every month, Take Action! - Iraq Moratorium
    The slow-motion train wreck that is the occupation of Iraq grows daily more of a nightmare. In 2006 America voted to bring it to an end. But our politicians have failed to grasp the strain on our military and the depth to which America's influence in the world has fallen. We must force them and our media to recognize just how angry America is, and how massive the anti-war sentiment in this country has become.
    The Iraq Moratorium will be an escalating monthly series of actions demanding an end to the war. Starting on Friday, September 21 and on the third Friday of every month thereafter, we will take the time to show our President and Congress that our troops must be brought home, now!

September 4, 2009

Is newly-minted Governor Gary Herbert already wavering on his promise to keep foreign nuclear waste out of Utah? Unfortunately, it appears so.

As reported by ABC 4 News, EnergySolutions and the State Attorney General’s office are talking about striking a bargain.  In exchange for a receiving a portion of the revenue from Italian nuclear waste, Utah would give up its say over what sort of waste could come into the state. Watch/read the story here

This threat to our state’s sovereignty should not stand. Back in May, Governor Herbert promised to “hold the line” drawn by Jon Huntsman on foreign nuclear waste. That is a far cry from “let’s cut a deal”.

Governor Herbert should be throwing his full weight behind Utah’s appeal of EnergySolutions’ dangerous legal challenge. He should be working to safeguard Utah’s power to self govern in nuclear waste matters, not auction it off to the highest bidder. It now falls on all of us to help Governor Herbert find his resolve and remind him that his sworn duty is to represent the people of Utah.

Please email Governor Herbert today and let him know we expect him to honor his word to keep foreign nuclear waste out of Utah. The governor can be contacted through his webpage here.
You can follow this issue as it unfolds on our blog: www.healutah.org/blog or on twitter (@healutah).

Sincerely-

Eric Spreng
