Crosby/Nash & the View from Deja Vu
When a concert starts off 8 miles high, only the truly great can keep it there. That's what David Crosby & Graham Nash did the other night in Newark, Ohio. The wind beneath their wings was an outstanding foursome of virtuoso musicians.
The result was a three-hour love fest that should not be missed.
Crosby/Nash are transcendently talented buddies who come with a set list nicely balanced between the old, the mellow, the rockin', the oddball and the new.

"Safe" Radiation is a Lethal TMI Lie
There is no safe dose of radiation.
We do not x-ray pregnant women.
Any detectable fallout can kill.

Kill Nuke Power Before it Kills Us All!
The Japanese people are now paying a horrific price for the impossible dream of the "Peaceful Atom." For a half-century they have been told that what's happening now at Fukushima would never occur.
Our hearts and souls must first and foremost go out to them. As fellow humans, we must do everything in our power to ease their wounds, their terrible losses and their unimaginable grief.
We are also obliged---for all our sakes---to make sure this never happens again.

Japan's Quake Could Have Irradiated the Entire US
Had the massive 8.9 Richter-scale earthquake that has just savaged Japan hit off the California coast, it could have ripped apart at least four coastal reactors and sent a lethal cloud of radiation across the entire United States.

The two huge reactors each at San Onofre and Diablo Canyon are not designed to withstand such powerful shocks. All four are extremely close to major faults.

Please join us again at this link: http://nukefree.org/nirs-tell-congress-no-36-billion-loan-guarantees-oth... to demand the Senate delete this $36 billion giveaway from the 2012 Budget and the 2011 Continuing Resolution.

Obama's $36 Billion Nuke-Powered Giveaway
Barack Obama's 2012 budget marks a major escalation in the nuclear war against a green-powered future, whose advocates are already fighting back.
Amidst massive budget cuts for social and environmental programs, Obama wants $36 billion in loan guarantees for a reactor industry that cannot secure sufficient private "marketplace" financing for new construction.

Obama & Our Disney Nukes
Despite the nation's huge debts and fears of foreign terror, America's 104 licensed reactors are the most dangerous threat to our future. After a half-century of operations, the industry still cannot get more than $11 billion in private insurance against possible accidents whose human and property damage could easily run from mere trillions to the simply incalculable.
