Sign Senator Bernie Sander’s Petition for an Amendment to Save American Democracy.

The Saving American Democracy Amendment states that:
Corporations are not persons with constitutional rights equal to real people.
Corporations are subject to regulation by the people.
Corporations may not make campaign contributions.
Congress and states have the power to regulate campaign finances.

LAST CHANCE TO SIGN! ACT BY TUESDAY, JANUARY 24, 9 AM EASTERN. TELL ENERGY SECRETARY CHU: STOP "INTERIM" STORAGE OF RADIOACTIVE WASTE AND A NEW MOBILE CHERNOBYL......AND STOP MAKING RADIOACTIVE WASTE IN THE FIRST PLACE! A group letter to DOE Secretary Steven Chu will be delivered on January 24. This letter urges him to intervene with his Blue Ribbon Commission on America's Nuclear Future and stop "interim" storage of high-level radioactive waste. An "interim" storage site would set us on a path to large-scale transportation of lethal radioactive materials on roads and rails across the U.S.--and to an inevitable Mobile Chernobyl--while doing absolutely nothing toward moving us toward a solution to the radioactive waste problem. And, indeed, the only real solution to radioactive waste is to stop making it entirely. This is your last chance to join more than 3,000 individuals and dozens of organizations who already have signed this letter. But we think more of you than that will want to sign on, so if you haven't done so yet, please do it now! Organizations: please send your name, organization name, city, state, and country (if outside the U.S.) to nirsnet@nirs.org Individuals: If you are signing for yourself and/or your family, please sign the petition here. Only your names, city and state will be added to the letter delivered to Secretary Chu. No phone numbers, e-mail addresses or street addresses will be provided to the Energy Department.
The full text of the letter to Secretary Chu is available here. Our January 17 Alert announcing this letter is available here. Nuclear Information and Resource Service nirsnet@nirs.org www.nirs.org.
Act NOW to Protect Lake Erie and Its Tributaries (Ohio Environmental Council). Governor Kasich and Ohio lawmakers are gearing up to consider legislation controlling water withdrawals from Lake Erie and its tributaries. Depending on the choices they make, Ohio could be poised to help — or hurt — these vital natural resources!
Tell your elected leader to protect our waterways! Any new legislation must include protections for Lake Erie’s tributaries as required by the Great Lakes Compact, a binding agreement between the Great Lakes states to protect the Lakes and their tributaries from harmful withdrawals. Rivers and other tributaries are a vital part of a healthy ecosystem. They maintain water levels, provide wildlife habitat and spawning grounds for prized sport fish, and supply key nutrients for the food chain of Lake Erie. If we fail to fully protect them, the tributaries and Lake Erie could suffer real harm. Please sign our petition to Governor Kasich now! Help us collect 3,000 signatures by February 3 so we can show that the people of Ohio want to protect — not risk — the health of Lake Erie and its tributaries!
