Mayor Rocky Anderson:The Dangers of "Divine Strake"

[cal04]

Dear Kossacks,

Thank you so much for your feedback and supportive remarks. We can achieve so much through effective, concerted action like we saw in Washington, DC one week ago.

The following are remarks I gave at a public hearing hosted by Utah Governor Jon Huntsman, Jr. on the so-called "Divine Strake" test. This planned detonation of 700 tons of ammonium nitrate and fuel oil on radioactively contaminated land at the Nevada Test Site has received little attention in the national press. The test, however, has the potential to spread radioactivity beyond the bounds of the test site, is being planned in violation of international law, and is widely regarded as the precursor to a renewed US nuclear program.

If you are as concerned about the Divine Strake test as I am, and as many Utah and Nevada residents are, please contact your elected officials and make your voices heard.

Best regards,

Rocky Anderson
