Human rights are being violated inside the US with every breath of air we take, with every glass of water or wine we drink, with every bunch of grapes we feed our children. Here is a way for every single American to become empowered and legally, peacefully make a difference to effect change.

Moving Out of Victim Mode

 

  Cathy Garger 

 

 

Does it irk you as it does me that almost no one in the federal government whose salaries we fund seems to be caring one bit about our human right to health and well being, our right to happiness, and to our internationally guaranteed human right to life?

 

How does it make you feel that our own government is using the exact same radioactive materials inside the US atmosphere and environment that are being used in combat in the Middle East?

  

Are you less than thrilled about Depleted Uranium being exploded outdoors, contaminating the air you and your families breathe, the water you drink, and the food you eat?  Why, even our wine and grapes are radioactive! Just do a Google search for Tritium + wine.

 

I have spent the past year and a half doing intensive research on the radiation poisoning of America and the effects of nuclear materials upon our public health. In a word, it ain’t a pretty picture.

 

Our military and energy departments as well as the environmental and nuclear regulatory agencies have been running our nation steadily into the ground in rapid fashion. Radioactive weapons materials processing, manufacturing, and so-called outdoor “testing” is rendering our precious environment a toxic, hazardous waste dump from coast to coast.

  

Increasing numbers of Americans are saying NO MORE! to large and lethal quantities of toxic and nuclear product contaminants and particulate matter that the Departments of Energy and Defense routinely explode, burn, fire, and permit emissions releases into our atmosphere and environment inside the US each year.

 

We do not have to remain victims. We do not have to accept the nuclear poisoning of ourselves and our families any longer. We can and must – each and every single one of us – decide to take a stand against dangerous radionuclides polluting and contaminating our air, water and soil for an eternity. And yes, with a half-life of 4.5 Billion years, Depleted Uranium contamination inside the United States is very much here to stay!

 

So yes, there IS something we all can do! Below are upcoming meeting dates, times, and locations where you can speak up and out, and let your feelings be heard about the toxic, poisonous radioactive contamination of America.

  

A few Americans' testimonies won't make too much difference. But widespread opposition - in numbers never seen before - very well could make ALL the difference!

  

Public comments - both oral and written - are being taken now on the future plans for the nuclear weapons laboratories that liberally disperse radiation – (radioactive materials such as Depleted Uranium and Tritium) into our air, water, and soil (food supply) throughout the U.S.

  

Please pass this critically important information along to everyone you know… to all your friends, relatives, groups, workplace, and organizations.

  Here is the link to the radiation weapons laboratories' report:
