On
July 25, Ani DiFranco, Indigo Girls, actor James Cromwell, Winona
LaDuke and Skull Valley Goshute tribal members will spearhead a national
lobby day against the federal energy bill and a nuclear industry plan
to dump 44,000 tons of highly radioactive waste on Goshute land in Utah.
Ani and friends will hold a congressional briefing and then meet with
several Senate offices in an effort to bring out the truth about the
billions of dollars of nuclear funding contained in the energy bill and
the environmental racism of the Skull Valley dump proposal.
Please call or e-mail your Senators on Monday July 25 to support this effort.
Flood the Senate with your calls! Keep calling all week!

Tell them:
1. Vote against the energy bill. No taxpayer funding of the nuclear power industry.
2. Urge their colleagues on the Senate Indian Affairs Committee to
hold hearings and investigate wrongdoing by the U.S. Bureau of Indian
Affairs in its approval of the Private Fuel Storage / Skull Valley
Goshutes lease agreement.
