Urgent: Stop The Nuclear/Coal Power Plant Fraud In The Stimulus Bill

We've heard President Obama on the TV alot talking about how he's
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.
