Urgent Action by June 4: The Department of Energy wants to turn Southern Ohio into a nuclear waste dump.

I received this email today from a recently formed group: The Southern Ohio Neighbors Group (SONG). Any time a group of people come together to stop corruption and turn around Ohio, I think it is worth getting the word out.

The following is an excerpt from the text of the email that I received:
___________________________

The federal reservation near Piketon, Ohio, has been proposed as a storage site for high-level nuclear waste, imported from other counties, other states, and other countries. These plans were developed in secret without public disclosure and with fraudulent claims of community support.
________________________________

The group, in conjunction with Progress Ohio, has put together testimony, which, after signed by all of us, will be delivered to the Department of Energy. The deadline to take action is June 4, 2007.

In addition to the message quoted above, you can view their Video directly on You Tube at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kI8QAqRDqg&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eprogressohio%2Eorg%2Fpage%2Fpetition%2FDoEpetition

Remember, please go to http://www.progressohio.org/page/petition/DoEpetition to take action on a great cause by June 4. Let's keep challenging our government to clean up Ohio.
