URGENT ACTION ALERT!! DEADLINE APPROACHING!

YUCCA MOUNTAIN, SACRED TO THE SHOSHONE & MAJOR FAULT ZONE, IN

IMMINENT DANGER!

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY MOVES PLANS FORWARD TO TURN YUCCA MOUNTAIN INTO

NUCLEAR WASTE REPOSITORY.

PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD DEADLINE JANUARY 10, 2008.

Public hearings have not been well attended, statements mostly in 
favor of the plan to put all of the nuclear waste in the country in 
this one sacred place. Activists were told that if we do not go on 
record with a statement, we will have no legal recourse later on. 
Local papers & media spin have recently stated that opposition to the 
nuke dump had dropped of since the passing of Corbin Harney. The 
nuclear reps are confident to the point of acting like it's a done 
deal.  WE KNOW THAT'S NOT TRUE! LETS PROVE THEM WRONG! TAKE ACTION & 
MAKE YOUR COMMENT NOW!!

Yucca Mountain is sacred to the Shoshone as an herb gathering site 
for rituals, and as a part of their stories. Yucca Mountain is known 
in Shoshone language as Snake Mountain.  Indeed it looks like a 
snake. It is said that the snake was headed north when it froze where 
it is. Further more it is said that it will move again and "flip 
around". Geologists say that there are thirteen different fault lines 
running through it.

Citizens  can make an oral statement at the scheduled public hearings 
or fill out a form and mail it in to EIS Office U.S. Department of 
Energy Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Mgmt, 1551 Hillshire dr. 
Las Vegas, NV, 89195-7308 or by e-mail at EIS_Office at ymp.gov. HERE

"The eyes of the elders are on us.  The fate of the unborn is rolling 
toward the cliff, the voice of Corbin Harney is ringing in my ears, 
"It's on your shoulders now...".   Info from Bear Dyken. mdyken at goldrush.com.
